E243: What Truly Matters when Parenting Your ADHD Child to Adulthood with IngerShaye Colzie

E243: What Truly Matters when Parenting Your ADHD Child to Adulthood with IngerShaye Colzie

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD October 10, 2024 Duration: 48:35

Parenting a child with ADHD or neurodiversity brings many challenges and stresses, but connecting with other parents going through similar experiences can help you feel less isolated and lonely. 

How can you best support both your ADHD child and yourself?

For ADHD Awareness Month, we're talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week. 

Today's guest is IngerShaye Colzie, MSW, LSW. IngerShaye provides executive ADHD coaching, individualized coaching and group coaching. In private sessions she creates a partnership tailored to your specific needs and goals, providing dedicated support and guidance. Within group sessions, she provides a safe space for black women to gain access to resources while connecting with the ADHD community.

In this episode, IngerShaye and I discuss viewing parenting from the perspective of after your ADHD child reaches young adulthood. She's sharing her hard-earned wisdom from twenty years of parenting on what truly matters and how we can do our best when we're in the thick of it.

IngerShaye talks about navigating the balancing act of setting expectations and providing structure, while also giving children autonomy and allowing them to learn from mistakes.

Join us in a much needed conversation about advocating for your child in school and how you can be less hard on yourself as you do your best to take care of your children. 

Making memories is just as important as all of the other things we do as parents. Let's not forget to enjoy the ride, too.

It can feel super intimidating to show up to a party where you don't know anyone. Well, I don't want that fear to keep you from finding your people. 

I want to make this super low risk for you to come, try it out, and get a sneak peak before you join our ADHD mom community. 

You're invited to the next Successful Mama Meetup Open House!

Join us on Zoom on November 6th to body double for the first 30 minutes, then hangout and meet the other moms in the community for the second half. (Hint hint, we're pretty amazing IMHO.)

No charge, no pressure. Just come hang out!

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 where you live. Self-diagnosis and ADHD-curious moms welcome. 

It's time to hang out with other moms who get you and make you feel like you're at home. So come in your comfy clothes and let's hang out! See you soon!


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.
