Motherhood can be a rewarding but also challenging time in a woman’s life. 

According to research conducted by The Mental Health Foundation UK, between 10% and 20% of women develop mental health problems during pregnancy or within a year of giving birth. 

Motherhood can be additionally challenging if you have ADHD / Autism and are trying to parent children who are also neurodiverse. 

In this episode, I talk to Laura Guckian. Laura has ADHD & Autism and is the mother to three neurodivergent children. Her journey through motherhood has had many challenges, including being hospitalised for two months with her mental health, after the birth of her first son.

Laura now uses her experience to help other mums. She is an accredited life coach for mums, and runs her practice called Mind Mommy Coaching. She also runs The Village, an online community which has helped over 4,000 Moms achieve positive mental wellbeing.

She also hosts the amazing ‘Momfessions’ podcast and her goal is to support other women through their motherhood journey. As ever, this podcast is all about hope and Laura provides hope for mothers who are dealing with similar issues.
