E206: Lots of Ideas and No Action: When You're Too Tired to Plan or Do the Plan and Need an ADHD Energy Recharge

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD September 7, 2023 Duration: 30:37

You want to grab dinner with your best friend…

You want to do that cool volcano science project with your 4 year old…

You want to snuggle on the couch with your partner and watch a movie…

But you also need sleep.

You feel like the worst friend, daughter, mom, partner, when you promise to do something and then cancel plans at the last minute because you don't have the energy to do it when the time comes around. 

You're feeling burnt out, overwhelmed, and at capacity on top of the guilt. Ugh.

Having ADHD can feel really unpredictable when you never know what you'll have the energy to do.

How can we set up a system that works for you and prioritizes what matters most to you?

When we're not leaning into the kind of plans that make sense for our brains and energy patterns, it all feels way harder than it needs to be. 

So how can we make this feel easier? Let's discuss!

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.
