205 // Master the Mundane: Thriving as a Mom with ADHD - with Amy Marie Hann


Listen Later

If you’re a mom with ADHD (or parenting kids with ADHD), daily life can feel like constant overcommitment, burnout, and chaos. But what if instead of pushing harder, you learned to strategically parent your brain?

In this conversation, I’m joined by Amy Marie Hann—author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD which comes out September 10, 2025. Diagnosed at five with ADHD and raising three neurodivergent kids, Amy brings both lived experience and practical strategies for building rhythms that actually work for the ADHD brain.

Together we talk about:

  • The differences between the boredom zone, depletion zone, ADHD burnout, and activation zone—and how to recognize which one you’re in
  • Why urgency feels motivating but creates unnecessary chaos in everyday life (and what to do instead)
  • What “executive function capacity” is, and how to “budget” it like a bank account
  • How to use the Daily 3 to keep life moving even on burnout or low-energy days
  • A realistic plan for balancing novelty with capacity so you don’t overcommit
  • How to ditch “rage decluttering” and instead create sustainable habits for your home
  • If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD brain is working against you, this episode will help you see that it’s not broken - it just needs the right strategies and support to thrive.
