"Is this an ADHD thing?"

This question comes up a lot!

It's hard to say because there is a wide spectrum on how ADHD symptoms present in your day to day activities. At the same time, there is so much value in knowing you aren't the only one struggling with something. 

In today's episode, I'm sharing the themes that I see in the symptoms of ADHD in women that I work with so that you can feel comfortable in knowing how ADHD shows up in women in real life.

Included in this episode is a checklist of ADHD symptoms that you can fill out and take with you to your doctor appointment, so you can feel confident and prepared to ask about an ADHD diagnosis.

This list is particularly helpful for women who don't present the typical ADHD symptoms, so if you're curious about inattentive ADHD or how successful, high-achieving women with graduate degrees have ADHD, this episode is for you!

This episode is part of our Best Of Series, and originally aired in September 2022 as episode 158.

Wish you could get a sneak peek before joining? You can!

You're invited to Successful Mama Meetup's very first Open House!

Join us on July 26, 2023 for either of our meetups, and meet the other moms, see who you'd hang out with at the retreat, so you know we're the kinda people you wanna hang out with before you jump in. (hint, we're pretty amazing IMHO.)

No charge, no pressure. Just come hang out at one or both of the events!

Let me know you wanna come right here and I'll send you the zoom link. 

And since it's on Zoom, everyone can come no matter what part of the world you live in. And for our mamas in Asia and Australia, the second meetup is on Thursday, July 27th for you.

If you're listening to this episode after July and want to come to the next Open House, join the waitlist, and I'll let you know next time I host one!


Ever feel like you're running a marathon with no finish line in sight, while everyone else seems to be on a leisurely stroll? That mental clutter, the constant search for your keys, the guilt over forgotten appointments-it's not a personal failing. It's often the lived experience of motherhood when you're also navigating adult ADHD. Motherhood in ADHD is a space created specifically for that reality. Hosted by Patricia Sung, an ADHD coach who gets it because she lives it, this podcast digs into the intersection of a neurodivergent brain and the demands of raising a family. You'll find conversations that move beyond simple tips, offering brain-based science and practical strategies tailored for moms whose minds work differently. Episodes explore how to structure your days in a way that works with your ADHD, not against it, and rethink parenting approaches to reduce overwhelm for both you and your kids. It’s about education that leads to self-compassion, replacing shame with understanding. Tune in for honest talk about productivity that actually sticks, managing mental health, and building systems that acknowledge your unique wiring. This is more than just a podcast; it’s a companion for redefining what success looks like in your home and in your mind, helping you move from barely coping to truly thriving.
