E265: How Do You Keep Up with Everything as a Mom with ADHD?


Listen Later

How do moms do ALL.THE.THINGS in a methodical, consistent manner? 

My client asked me this earlier this month. She wanted to see how someone else “does it all” in order to get a better grasp on what it looks like. Plus she asked for an example of a weekly schedule where somebody meal plans, cooks, takes care of their kids, and works part time.

“Doing it all” is an overwhelming challenge that so many moms face. 

In this episode, I’m sharing a clip from our call where I explain how I do it all. 

Spoiler alert: I don’t do it all at the same time. 

This episode is a deep dive into real, actionable strategies to build a flexible weekly schedule that fits your unique brain—and your real life, messiness, and all.

Reminder: you are not a robot. You’re also not parenting a bunch of predictable and programmable robots. Plus, ADHD is anything but predictable! Unless you’re predicting chaos…

Soooo, how do you deal with unpredictability in a job that requires a lot of consistency, such as parenting? 

You work WITH your brain. 

Instead of chasing an unrealistic ideal, I’m walking you through a realistic plan that is easily adjusted as your life (and your kids!) change.

Lowering the chaos starts with identifying what is most important to you, taking care of yourself, and implementing your foundational schedule in baby steps. 

Peek behind the curtain as I share my own approach to balancing meal planning, part-time work, household chores, and kid schedules, emphasizing the power of routines, batching, and giving yourself grace when things don’t go as planned. 

Tune in for:

  • The honest truth on why consistency in motherhood is a myth (and why systems and batching are your new best friends)
  • A step-by-step walkthrough of creating a foundational schedule that works for real humans (messy mornings and all!)
  • Why “bare minimum” isn’t lazy—it’s brilliant
  • Meal planning hacks that even “please-don’t-make-me-cook” mamas can love
  • Permission to do less, love yourself more, and actually enjoy motherhood—even when the doo-doo hits the wall (literally and figuratively)

This episode is packed with practical tips for lowering decision fatigue, embracing imperfection, and giving yourself credit for how far you’ve come. Whether you’re struggling with meal planning, juggling conflicting priorities, managing transitions, or just feeling stuck in the chaos, I’ve got your back with honest advice and a reminder: you already are a great mom.

Pop in your earbuds, take a deep breath, and let’s figure out together how to keep up with all the things—on your own terms.
