The Millennial Mama Memo Podcast | Episode 21: How to Break Up With Your Therapist (The T in MATCH)

🌸 Millennial Mama Mix
The T in MATCH is for Therapist, and this week I'm answering a question so many moms carry silently: how do you actually end things with your therapist? I cover why it feels so awkward, why you should genuinely like your therapist, and why their feelings are never yours to manage.

💟 Favorites Folder
My current mantra: Let it be easy if you can. Pre-chopped onions, plain white socks, and an ADHD-specific reason to only keep one backup of your favorite things.

The Millennial Mama Memo Podcast | Episode 20: Premeditated Disappointment (How to Set Goals as a Mom with ADHD)

🌸 Millennial Mama Mix
It's the 20th episode lore drop. I get into why this podcast started (I'm a talk-to-think person who lives in voice memos), the visibility wound so many moms, neurodivergent folks, and therapists carry, and why goal-setting has always felt like premeditated disappointment to me. Plus the reframe helping me most: focus on how you want to feel.

💟 Favorites Folder
My favorite skincare products as a mom of two with ADHD, including the night-shower hack that changed my routine, plus an azelaic acid tip for pregnant and nursing mamas.

Episode 19: The A in MATCH – How I Help Moms Find the Right Support

🌸 Millennial Mama Mix

A podcast update (I have an editor now, hi Adrienne!) and some honesty about where I get help, then a lore drop as I continue my MATCH Framework with the A: Advocate. I share growing up as a missionary kid in Europe, realizing as an adult that I'd been an immigrant the whole time, and how deconstructing all of it made advocacy central to how I work with moms.

💟 Favorites Folder
Press-on nails, specifically Glamnetic. Why they're a game changer for this lifelong (ADHD) nail biter, my go-to sets, and the one product that makes them last.
