Summer can feel exciting and freeing, but it can also bring overwhelm, decision fatigue, and a lot of pressure for moms — especially ADHD moms trying to keep daily life running smoothly.

In this episode, I'm joined by my Sarah Sheehan, a gifted routine-building coach, habits expert, and compassionate guide for moms navigating ADHD. Sarah shares her own later-in-life ADHD diagnosis and how it changed the way she understood herself, motherhood, and the daily challenges that so many women carry quietly.

We talk about why routines can feel so hard for ADHD brains, how perfectionism and self-judgment show up in everyday mom life, and why support, accountability, and body doubling can make such a difference. Sarah also shares what she's creating to help moms feel more supported in their routines, budgeting, meal planning, and daily follow-through — without shame or pressure.

If you've ever felt like you're trying so hard but still falling behind, this conversation will remind you that you are not alone. Small steps, gentle structure, and no-judgment support can go a long way.
