We face a December full of curveballs: a child with flu, a partner down, an upcoming operation, and a back injury that sent us to A&E. Plans shift, but connection holds as we rework Christmas with honesty, small systems, and a renewed respect for health.

• adapting holiday plans when illness strikes
• practical home systems that lower friction
• reshaping Christmas around a hospital stay
• accepting help and dropping guilt
• acute pain, access to care and resilience
• handwashing, first-defense sprays and echinacea
• sensory barriers to school flu jabs
• empathy, herd immunity and vaccine ethics
• choosing companionship over perfect plans

We lay out a simple survival plan for the school run-up to Christmas: what to prioritize, what to drop, and how to make the chaos lighter with ADHD brains and real budgets. From consent forms to costumes, we share practical systems, community tips, and kinder boundaries.

• using screenshots and a calendar sweep to track dates
• leaning on WhatsApp groups for pinned deadlines and swaps
• choosing low-cost or secondhand jumpers and setting sensory-first rules
• building minimum viable costumes with what you have
• picking battles on donations, fairs and Tombola asks
• appreciating office staff and deciding where gifts matter
• contributing what you can and asking school for support
• simplifying cards and Secret Santa with stamps or limits
• quick teacher gift ideas that kids can make without stress

• visible fridge calendars and simple photo backups
• scheduling online shopping, wrapping, and nights out
• discreet calendar codes and low-effort colour systems

We launch a daily “chaos calendar” to make December lighter for ADHD mums, trading perfection for practical help and honest stories. We share quick breathing resets, low-friction hacks, and real talk about messy holidays that still feel good.

• small hacks for common stress points
• must-do vs nice-to-do lists that reduce friction
• normalising imperfect Christmas as ADHD mums
• scripts for saying no and asking for help
• connection and calm over perfection
• a shared plan to start each morning

You can look forward to a little bit of our dulcet tones every morning in December to commiserate with you and to hopefully help you through this season

We crack up trying to record, then settle into highs and lows: slugs in the house, file conversion chaos, a child’s autism diagnosis framed with empowering language, medical updates, a return to counseling studies, and the power of small, thoughtful acts.

• rental gaps, slugs and snails, landlord neglect
• file conversion struggles, accidental voice note nostalgia
• child’s autism diagnosis confirmed and celebrated
• empowering language choices and identity pride
• adult ADHD vs child diagnosis, support planning
• hospital appointments, ECG monitor, delayed surgery dates
• enrolling in a flexible Level 3 counseling course
• late-night cinema and a partner’s practical care

We listen to a mother lay out the grind of advocating for her neurodivergent child: three-year diagnosis timelines, EHCP hurdles, and the cost of going part-time to manage endless forms. We hold space for the anger, share practical tactics, and commit to building community that lightens the load.

• navigating ADHD and autism diagnosis delays
• small-school benefits and funding gaps
• EHCP prep, evidence gathering and templates
• hidden funds and how to find them
• posting forms, recorded delivery and costs
• managing capacity, privilege and burnout
• transition to high school and planning ahead
• building community to share resources

A surgeon finally gives clear answers, a timeline, and empathy, bringing relief and a hard truth about a year of recovery. We sit with fear, the loss of fertility, the grind of admin, and the joy that still breaks through, from book obsessions to band practice.

• surgeon’s plan, recovery timeline, and real empathy
• acknowledging medical neglect and its impact
• facing mortality admin, wills, and life insurance
• fertility loss, contrast with an ex’s new baby
• naming fear and accepting help from others
• tests booked, key worker assigned, forward movement
• reshaping recovery as learning and gentle planning
• audiobook strategies and book recommendations
• slapstick radiator disaster and boiler lessons
• reclaiming bedroom space, leaning on friends, and small rituals
• growing capacity in music and movement after burnout
• gratitude as a practice alongside fear and uncertainty

Sisters in chaos.

We explore masking as ADHD mums—what it is, how it starts, and why it drains us—then share ways to unmask gently without losing safety. Stories from school, work, family, and the school gate show how expectations and stigma push women and kids to perform “fine” while struggling underneath.

• Masking defined as hiding ND traits to appear neurotypical 
• Everyday masking examples in speech, routines and stillness 
• Gendered expectations and why women are diagnosed later 
• Burnout from school, work and social performance 
• Stigma, culture and safety as drivers for masking 
• Motherhood pressure and double masking at home and school 
• Kids who mask versus kids who don’t and after‑school releases 
• Family judgment, boundaries and modeling authenticity 
• Practical unmasking steps and micro‑experiments 
• Creative outlets, therapy and integrating the self

We trade chaos for a mid week and explore why calm can feel weird when your brain expects spikes. Therapy training gets real, co‑parenting shifts bring ease, ND‑friendly routines help with food, and a freezer fiasco turns into a small, satisfying win.

• naming highs and lows with a steadier baseline
• therapy training strain and client exposure under observation
• feedback culture, empathy management and de‑roling tactics
• co‑parenting schedule change and smoother school runs
• kids’ emotions balancing across households
• sensory‑friendly swimming lessons and trust‑first teaching
• food rollercoaster, weight meds and decision fatigue
• meal kit structure for ND brains and portion tweaks
• the freezer meltdown, repair and executive function lessons

Do that on your platforms, share it with someone who you think might enjoy it, WhatsApp it over to them, and if you haven’t like rated us, liked it, all that stuff, do it
