Episode 60 - Parenting with ADHD: The Reality No One Talks About with Wendy Gage
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Motherhood comes with an invisible mental load — planning, regulating emotions, staying organized, and constantly responding to others’ needs. For mothers with ADHD, this load can feel overwhelming, exhausting, and deeply misunderstood.
In this episode, we’re joined by therapist Wendy Gage, who specializes in supporting ADHD moms. We explore how ADHD shows up in motherhood, why many women are diagnosed after having children, and how ADHD can impact postpartum mental health, emotional regulation, and daily parenting.
We talk about shame, burnout, strengths, and practical ways ADHD moms can find support and compassion for themselves.
If you’ve ever wondered why parenting feels harder for you — you are not alone.
