Just when you think you’ve figured out how to manage your ADHD... life throws you a baby, and suddenly none of it works anymore. The routines? Gone. The sleep? Ha. The coping strategies? LOL. 

In this episode, Ron shares what happened when parenthood bulldozed the systems he and his partner had spent years building—and how they’re starting to put things back together.

In this episode, Liz asks what’s changed, what’s fallen apart, and how Ron and his partner Gwen (who also has ADHD) are trying to put things back together. They talk about memory blackouts, motivation crashes, relationship friction, and why every baby task seems to come with its own moral panic and spreadsheet.

They also break down what happens when both people in a relationship are running on empty, and how they’re slowly finding their way back with messy routines, flexible expectations, and the return of the "team meeting."

For ADHD listeners:

• What do you do when all your usual supports (like sleep, exercise, structure) disappear overnight?
• How do you stop arguments that are actually just two people with different values and no bandwidth?
• Why is motivation so much harder when something feels illogical or pointless—and what can you try instead?
• What kind of low-effort “reset” routines can help you feel more human again, even in the chaos?

Like what you're hearing? Hooray!
