Many women go years—sometimes decades—without realizing they have ADHD. Often, it’s only after their own child is diagnosed that they start recognizing the signs in themselves. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lauren Rance, a licensed psychologist specializing in ADHD, anxiety, and relationship challenges, to talk about the unique ways ADHD presents in women and why it so often goes undiagnosed.

We explore the impact of a late diagnosis, how masking plays a role, and why so many moms struggle with shame around executive functioning challenges. Dr. Rance shares ADHD-friendly strategies to help moms feel less overwhelmed, reduce decision fatigue, and redefine success on their own terms.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ How ADHD presents differently in women and why it’s often missed
✅ The emotional impact of a late diagnosis, especially in motherhood
✅ Practical, ADHD-friendly strategies to reduce overwhelm and decision fatigue
✅ How to shift from self-criticism to self-compassion as a mom with ADHD

Josie Hau’s journey through motherhood is both inspiring and deeply moving. In this episode, she shares how raising a child with a congenital heart defect and Down syndrome brought immense challenges, from a difficult diagnosis during pregnancy to multiple heart surgeries. Despite the hardships, Josie found strength in community and created "Love for Littles," an initiative that uses simple support bracelets to bring families together in compassion. Her story also highlights the unpredictability of motherhood, including another challenge during her fourth pregnancy, and reminds us that asking for help is an act of courage. Through it all, Josie shows how self-care, connection, and finding joy in adversity can help us thrive.

Key Takeaways:

1. Strength in Vulnerability: Asking for help is a sign of courage, not weakness.
2. The Power of Community: Small acts of kindness can create lasting bonds.
3. Finding Joy in Hardship: Light and joy can be found even in life’s toughest moments.
