Let’s be real . . . Motherhood is overwhelming for anyone. But I've recently learned that if you’re a mom with ADHD, sometimes even the most basic tasks — like folding laundry, starting dinner, or replying to one more school email — can feel paralyzing. And I just have to say, if this is you . . . you’re not lazy. You’re not failing. And you’re definitely not alone.

In this episode of Chick Chat, I sat down with Amy Marie Hann, a mom, coach, and author of the upcoming book Master the Mundane, to talk about what it really looks like to manage motherhood, home, and family life with ADHD. Whether you’ve been diagnosed or you’ve just always felt a step behind when it comes to organizing, planning, or staying on top of everything, this episode will leave you feeling seen, understood, and empowered.
