E210: I'm Sorry, I Forgot! Please Don't Be Mad At Me...It Was My ADHD


Listen Later

Appointments, birthdays, permission slips, library books, names, the one thing you went into the store for…

In today's episode, I delve into one of the most frustrating features of ADHD: forgetting important things. 

From my personal experiences of forgetting to pick up THE ONE THING that my husband had requested while I went backpacking through Spain to missing my child's swim lesson due to a mix-up in scheduling, we’ll explore the guilt and shame that often accompany these forgetful moments. 

But it's important to remember that having ADHD is not an excuse for forgetfulness, but rather an explanation. But how do you clearly make the distinction in your intention so everyone’s not mad at you for forgetting the thing for the 300th time???

In this episode, we explore the delicate balance between understanding the role of ADHD and taking personal accountability for our actions. Join me as we uncover strategies and insights to navigate through forgetfulness and rewrite our stories from shame spiral to success story. 

Get ready for a powerful (and uncomfortable) discussion on forgetfulness in motherhood and ADHD.
