E253: ADHD Energy Management from ADDA's 2024 TADD Talks

E253: ADHD Energy Management from ADDA's 2024 TADD Talks

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD January 2, 2025 Duration: 11:32

Every October, ADDA hosts TADD Talks, short podcasts shared by ADHD experts around the world. For this year's ADHD Awareness Month, I shared about "ADHD Energy Management: End the Cycle of Burnout Crash After Frenetic Productivity." 

I'm talking about 3 reasons we spin through the cycle of "getting a million things done with peak efficiency" to the "overwhelming burnout so you can't get out of bed" cycle, and what to do about it!

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.
