I wasn’t failing at motherhood, and neither are you.
But battling your ADHD as a mom, in a society that values productivity feels like the current is always about to pull you in.
I'd been living with an ADHD diagnosis for years before I became a parent. I had systems, strategies, boundaries, and accommodations. I thought I had it figured out enough.
Then my kid arrived in the beginning of the pandemic. Everything started to collapse as soon as she entered preschool at two. The world was opening back up, I was back to work, and I now had another person’s schedule and needs to manage. All those systems and accommodations stopped working or were gone completely.
The mental load that neurotypical moms described as "a lot" felt completely impossible to me.
My routines, the support I'd spent years quietly building around my brain, disappeared quickly. What was hard before felt nearly impossible. The emotional dysregulation got louder. The guilt became very loud. I was snapping when I wanted to be soft, shutting down when I wanted to show up, and lying awake replaying every moment I felt like I'd gotten wrong.
Nobody told me that motherhood with ADHD is a different experience completely.
That the demands of keeping a tiny human alive would strip every accommodation I'd built and leave me raw.
I thought something was wrong with me.
Turns out, the neurotypical, modern way of mothering is not supportive for many ADHD brains. Big difference.
That distinction changed everything.
I am not broken.
And neither are you.
I’m Kim!
Founder of ADHD Mama Life, coach in training through ADDCA, and a mom who has lived what you're living.
My background in early childhood education provides a foundation of understanding your little one and the years I spent studying how the ADHD brain works helps me to understand you.
But more than any credential: I've sat in the spiral. I know what it feels like snapping after the third interruption, when the guilt is louder than the love, and you just don’t see any way out of the chaos.
I know what becomes possible when someone finally supports you see that you were never the problem.
That's what I'm here to do for you.
You deserve a coach who understands your brain and who's been there too.
