ADHD Mums

We tell ourselves we won’t do it again - won’t reach for that glass of wine after the kids go to bed, won’t fall into an hours-long scroll hole, won’t spend another $300 on a hyperfocus obsession we’ll drop in a month. And yet… here we are.

Our ADHD brains crave dopamine, and sometimes that means turning to habits that feel good in the moment but leave us stuck in a cycle. This episode isn’t about willpower or self-blame - it’s about understanding why ADHD makes these habits so sticky and what we can do to shift them for good.

• Why our ADHD brains chase instant gratification - and how to hack it
• How emotional regulation struggles fuel habits like binge eating, impulse spending, and avoidance
• The power of micro-delays, habit tracking, and reframing negative self-talk
• Simple dopamine-boosting alternatives that actually work 
• How to make impulsive habits harder to access - so we don’t have to rely on willpower

Resources mentioned:

• Mummy Needs More Than Wine
• ADHD Mums FB Group

We tell ourselves it’s just one glass - we deserve it after a long day. But somehow, that glass turns into the easiest way to switch off. And if we’re honest, we’re not sure it’s working anymore.

ADHD mums aren’t drinking just for fun - we’re drinking to cope with the mental load, the overstimulation, the relentless pressure to do it all. And while a glass of wine might feel like a quick fix, it could actually be making everything harder.

This isn’t about guilt or never drinking again. It’s about understanding what’s really going on - so we can make choices that actually help, not just temporarily numb the chaos.

In this episode:

• Why ADHD mums are more likely to struggle with alcohol use
• The dopamine trap - why that first drink feels amazing but leaves you worse off
• Alcohol & anxiety - the connection no one talks about
• The role of perfectionism & stress in why we drink
• How to reset your brain (without feeling like you’re missing out)

If you’ve ever poured a drink and wondered, “Do I actually need this?” - this episode is for you.

For many ADHD mums, explaining ADHD to loved ones can feel like speaking another language. Partners and family members might try their best but don’t always grasp the full picture - or might even feel overwhelmed or unsure how to help.

This episode is for both ADHD mums and their loved ones - those who want to help but feel unsure about ADHD, feeling overwhelmed by what it means, or just want to provide better support.

In This Episode:

• Understanding ADHD: Why ADHD isn’t about effort or being disorganised - it’s about how the brain processes and manages information.
• Validation Matters: The incredible impact of simply acknowledging someone’s experience.
• Tools for Teamwork: Shared strategies like visual schedules, body doubling, and clear communication to reduce tension.
• Moving Past Misunderstandings: Practical ways to address challenges like unfinished tasks and miscommunication without blame.

Note: Every relationship and experience with ADHD is unique, and this episode is part of an ongoing conversation. The tools and insights shared here are designed to foster understanding and connection but are not a one-size-fits-all solution.

If you’re an ADHD mum, listen to this episode and share it with someone who needs to understand your journey. If you’re a partner or family member, hit play with curiosity - it's a chance to hear how small changes can make life easier for everyone.

Important Context: Some of the changes I discuss in this episode aren’t officially announced or reflected on the NDIS website. However, feedback from a large number of parents who completed my survey suggests these changes are happening as the NDIS plans are reviewed or when new applications go in. There is a huge amount of inconsistency within the NDIS with unclear definitions and varying levels of expertise from NDIS planners who make eligibility decisions. Providers are witnessing these issues firsthand, but some remain silent out of fear that speaking up could jeopardise their AHPRA registration, Medicare provider number, and the careers they’ve worked tirelessly to build.

While the National Autism Strategy offers exciting long-term initiatives, many families are telling me through my survey that they’re struggling right now with reduced funding, shifting eligibility criteria, and the emotional toll of navigating these changes.

What this episode covers:

• NDIS Reforms: What parents are saying about how these changes are affecting their children’s access to supports.
• The National Autism Strategy: Why it’s a positive step forward but doesn’t address the immediate needs of families.
• Early Intervention Gaps: How families are being left without support during a critical stage of development.
• Stories from Parents: Real experiences shared through my survey, highlighting the challenges and confusion around these changes.
• Advocating for Change: What we can do together to push for transparency and better support.

What you can do:

1. Share Your Story: Add your experience to my survey or join the conversation in the ADHD Mums Facebook Group.
2. Write to Your Local MP: Advocate for clearer communication and better support for families.
3. Spread Awareness: Share this episode and discuss these issues with your community.

As mums, we want to protect our kids, but when it comes to ADHD or other neurodivergent diagnoses, silence can sometimes send the wrong message. This episode dives into the why behind having this big conversation with your child - why it’s important, how it can shape their self-confidence, and what happens when they don’t have the right information.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why some parents hesitate to disclose a diagnosis and how to overcome this fear.
• The risks of leaving your child in the dark and how they might create their own (often harsh) narrative.
• How empowering your child with knowledge can build their confidence and self-compassion.
• The emotional journey of processing a diagnosis as a parent and finding the right time to talk.

In this episode, I'm joined by Occupational Therapist and fellow ADHD Mum Rebecca Torpey to unpack what sensory overwhelm really is and how to find relief that works for you.
