Managing ADHD during the holidays takes more than willpower—it takes understanding your brain and planning around it with compassion. When I started researching ADHD to help one of my kids, I didn’t expect to discover that I had it too. But learning how my brain works has changed everything about how I approach motherhood, especially during the busiest season of the year.

In this episode, I’m joined by Amy Marie Hann, author of Master the Mundane, to talk about how ADHD shows up in motherhood and how we can create calmer, more intentional rhythms through the chaos of the holidays. Amy’s wisdom helped me see my brain with more grace and gave me tools to protect my energy instead of pushing past my limits.

Even if you don’t have ADHD, this conversation will help you navigate the mental load of motherhood with more clarity, calm, and self-kindness.

In this episode you’ll learn:

🧠 How to recognize when you’ve slipped into “depletion mode” — and what to do to climb out of it.

🧠 How to build a holiday season that fits your brain’s actual capacity (not everyone else’s).

🧠 Why rest and creativity are non-negotiable if you want to avoid ADHD burnout.
