Feeling constantly distracted, forgetful, or overwhelmed? You might be wondering if it’s burnout… or something more.

In this episode I host Meredith Carder - an ADHD coach, content creator, and author of It All Makes Sense Now - to unpack the difference between typical “busy mom brain” and the real symptoms of ADHD, and how to work with any family members who do.

🎧 Inside the episode, we explore:
• The difference between burnout, overwhelm, and actual ADHD symptoms
• The most effective systems or routines to create structure without feeling trapped or overwhelmed
• Advice for managing and supporting family members with ADHD
• How to advocate for yourself (or others!) if you have ADHD
