E229: Putting Off Your Big Dreams & Goals as a Mom

E229: Putting Off Your Big Dreams & Goals as a Mom

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD June 6, 2024 Duration: 19:38

Are you feeling anxious or lazy cuz you're avoiding tasks you need or want to do? 

Do you want to achieve a big goal but think it isn't realistic right now?

What if you *never* get around to the big dreams you have? 

*cue PANIC*

When you've spent years feeling like you're procrastinating, being lazy, and not understanding why you can't just do the thing, you can easily get confused when there is something you really want to do but it's not a good fit right now. 

Sometimes life is too full for one more project.  

Sometimes you're just trying to keep your head above water.

Suddenly, ignoring the unfolded laundry basket, avoiding your finances, not going back to finish your degree, and ordering takeout instead of cooking dinner all end up in the same bucket. 

But these are not the same kinds of projects when it comes to procrastination and avoidance.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I distinguish when I'm actively avoiding something versus choosing to set up my life in a way that fits me and my family. 

You're NOT an inherently lazy person who will never accomplish anything ever. Let's make some sense of these conflicting feelings.

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.
