E241: Tend & Befriend: ADHD Support Group as Self-Care for Moms

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD September 26, 2024 Duration: 28:46

When you go to a party, no matter the occasion or fanciness level, people often gravitate towards the kitchen. 

They circle up near the host at the grill or around the kitchen island, chatting while leaning against the counter and snacking on crackers. Even when they could be sitting in a comfy chair, people gravitate towards the heartbeat of the party. The kitchen.

This is how I want my community to feel… casually hanging around the kitchen counter, with snacks and drinks. Come and go as you please. Showing up as yourself, in whatever you're wearing that day. No pressure. 

I want you to feel like someone is taking care of you. Guiding you. Feeding you snacks and cleaning them up. Giving you a big hug when you walk in and out the door. 

(Because honestly, I'm pretty peeved you're not getting the care you deserve.)

Having YOUR people in your corner is more than a nicety. It gives you sturdiness and stability. It's self-care for tired moms. 

You're invited to hangout around my kitchen island, figuratively speaking. 

Join us in creating a space where you can be you, laugh, talk, and even let out a mom sigh or two, because we've all been there. Plus, you'll get to enjoy activities like body doubling and small group discussions where you can find the peas for your pod. You don't have to juggle everything, including the mental load, on your own. 

It's been so good for the moms (and me, too!) and I want you to come too! 

Our Successful Mama Meetup community meets every Wednesday on Zoom.  Come hang out!

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.
