What “should” you have done already?

Finish your degree?

Pass your driver’s license test?

Make that doctor’s appt?

Left the house for school pickup?

If you’re constantly thinking “I’m behind!”, this episode is for you.

Often it’s literal, as in, “I’m 20 minutes late to my appointment!”

But it’s also in the big things, like you “should” have more kids by now or gotten that promotion.

You’re not alone! Feeling behind has come up in several discussions recently both in my Lighthouse Group ADHD Coaching, and in Successful Mama Meetups. What are the patterns showing up in this pervasive problem among women with ADHD?

Here’s how to move forward both logistically and mentally.

It’s time to take care of you, mama: A whole weekend for you to relax and get away from all your weighty responsibilities, to understand your ADHD mind in community with moms who get it. Drop your name on the waitlist for the 3rd annual ADHD Moms Weekend Retreat in October 2024, and I’ll take care of everything once you arrive!

Do you ever feel like an emotional sponge, absorbing the feelings of others around you?

Especially when you’re with someone you care about?

Especially when you’re in certain parts of your cycle?

Extra especially when they are agitated, frustrated, angry, or anxious?

Sometimes you need a reminder that it’s okay to spend a little money on yourself, especially when the guilt of the last 3 wasteful impulse buys are still weighing on you.

In this episode of Motherhood in ADHD, we're diving headfirst into why self-care is NOT selfish. I want you to know that putting yourself on the budget’s priority list is worth it - without guilt creeping in and talking yourself out of it before you ever get that much deserved break.

Often that guilt (or fear of something else) also prevents you from bringing up the topic of money with your partner.

I’ll cover how you can prepare for a money conversation with your partner and set the stage so it’s as smooth as possible.

If even thinking about money conversations or putting yourself first gives you hives, this episode is a great first step toward ditching the guilt, as we dive into two uncomfortable conversations in today’s episode.
