When your ADHD is invisible, we can start to feel like maybe we're making it up…

Maybe you aren't really struggling more than others…

Errrrrrrt.  Stop that.

Today we're talking to Christina Crowe about how to make the Invisible Visible. Because ADHD is real even when you can't SEE its impact on everything. I love Christina's super practical way of explaining the hard stuff, as well as how she always links her information back to real research and science.

In this episode, Christina and I chat about what moms with ADHD really need to know on her podcast, Making the Invisible VISIBLE, where Christine believes great mental health information should be available to everyone, and loves creating content that makes all of the invisible things VISIBLE.

Christina Crowe is a Canadian Registered Psychotherapist, clinical supervisor and RELENTLESS mental health advocate. Christina believes great mental health information should be available to everyone, and loves creating content that makes all of the invisible things VISIBLE. This show features Christina's favorite experts on mental health topics like anxiety, ADHD, relationships, self-advocacy, health system navigation and, of course, the occasional rant.

While I'm slowing down for the summer, making space for more family time and accounting for our emergency construction project, I simply couldn't leave you hanging for the next few weeks. And my ADHD brain didn't want to do another vanilla Best Of series… Cue Light Bulb! 

Welcome to the Best Of Friends Series, where you are meeting a few of my favorite friends in the podcast community. I'm sharing interviews that I have done on other friends' podcasts. Not only do you get a new episode, I hope that you'll find a few shows to add to your podcast queue.

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 26th 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.


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.
