E255: Emotional regulation — and yelling — as a mom with ADHD from ADHD Aha! Podcast by Understood.org with Laura Key

Author: Patricia Sung | ADHD Coach for Moms with ADHD January 16, 2025 Duration: 33:42

Meet my friend Laura, host of the ADHD Aha! Podcast by Understood.org. In this episode, Laura and I chat about managing emotions with ADHD - especially as a mom who yells a lot. 

Laura shares: 

Patricia Sung was diagnosed with ADHD in her first year of college. It wasn't until she became a mother, and other people relied on her, that she realized just how much ADHD affected her. Patricia now hosts the Motherhood in ADHD podcast. Join Patricia and host Laura Key as they talk about managing emotions with ADHD. Patricia explains the concept of "raging" — that moment when you go from 99 to 100 and emotions boil over. She also shares strategies that can help!

Laura Key is an editor and content strategist with nearly 20 years of experience. As host of the ADHD Aha! podcast, she draws from her own experiences with ADHD. This lets her connect with podcast guests and listeners on a deeper level. Her knowledge covers a wide range of subjects, like parenting, special education, lifestyle, and more.

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.
