Productivity, Parenting, and Education for Moms with Adult ADHD Are you overwhelmed by the never-ending to do list of motherhood? Are you burnt out and barely keeping your head above water? Are you confused and frustrated by how all the other moms make it look so easy? And somehow you're still floundering despite trying even harder... Your purse is as overflowing as your mind, you never feel like a good enough mom, and you don't dare have anyone over to visit to witness your messy home. You just want the best for your kids, but you can't figure out how to manage the chaos, both in your mind and in your house. Oh, I've been there, mama. Some days, I'm still there. Parenting with ADHD is hard! We want to be structured for our kids, yet we can't seem to stay consistent even for ourselves. But I'm letting go of everyone else's perception of a "good mom" and stepping into loving who I am a little more each day. Will you join me? Whether you have ADHD like I do, or think you might, h

"How do I reduce the number of doom boxes, doom drawers, and doom cupboards in my life?" –Mama T asks. Doom piles are the junk spots for things you don't know how to categorize or put away, so the junk just lives in the pile for months or years, as you shuffle it from one area to another until you get fed up! If your doom drawers, doom boxes, and mystery piles are quietly multiplying around the house, you are definitely not alone. In this episode of Your Questions Answered, I'm sharing a practical and compassionate approach to dealing with clutter when your ADHD brain gets stuck in overwhelm and decision fatigue. Instead of seeing doom piles as proof that you're failing, I'm reframing them for what they really are: unmade decisions. And honestly, that shift alone can take a little weight off your shoulders. Let's walk through my simple system for sorting doom piles into categories like things that already have a home, things that need action, and things you genuinely don't know what to do with yet. You'll hear real-life examples from my own home, encouragement to stop expecting perfection, and permission to create systems that actually fit your life instead of fighting against your brain. Plus, some "doom spaces" might actually deserve to exist permanently, so let's talk about why, and how having a plan removes so much of the guilt and shame tied to clutter. This episode hopefully feels like sitting with a friend who gently helps you sort through the chaos one basket at a time Find links to everything mentioned in this episode & read the transcript here: https://www.patriciasung.com/podcast/episode-281-how-to-organize-reduce-adhd-doom-piles Links mentioned in this episode: Christen Fackler's organizing method of cousins, coworkers, and family: http://www.iorganizeeverything.com/about-us.html It's time to take care of you, mama: A whole weekend for you to relax and get away from all your weighty responsibilities, to understand your ADHD mind in community with moms who get it.

Have you ever made a mistake and immediately spiraled into shame? Like, "What is wrong with me!?!" Because, same. Except… this time was different. In this episode, I'm sharing a very real (and slightly painful) story about accidentally taking my stimulant medication before bed. Yup, that was rough. But instead of going down the usual shame and guilt spiral, something surprising happened – I gave myself grace. And that moment? It's exactly why this year's retreat theme is "You Are Enough." We're talking about what it looks like to stop beating yourself up, to drop the constant pressure to be perfect, and to finally feel at home in who you are – mistakes and all. I'm also giving you all the details for the upcoming 5th annual Successful As a Mother Retreat on October 16-18, 2026: who it's for, what we'll do, and why this weekend might be exactly what you've been craving. If you're tired of carrying the mental load, tired of feeling like you never quite "get it right," and just want a space where you can breathe… this is your invitation. You don't have to earn rest. You don't have to fix yourself first. You are already enough. Come spend the weekend with us.

Have you ever pushed so hard to finish something… only to realize you're not actually at the finish line? In this episode, I'm catching you up on life lately, from wrapping up my book to what the last several months have really looked like behind the scenes. Writing over 100,000 words, navigating intense editing, and learning how my brain works best stretched me in ways I didn't expect. And honestly, it was both exciting and exhausting. We're talking about what happens after a big push, that weird in-between space where you thought you'd feel "done," but instead you feel a little lost. I'm sharing what I learned about perfectionism, pacing, and why celebrating your progress matters way more than we think. I also open up about slowing down this summer, rethinking what actually matters in this season, and how I'm trying to make life feel easier instead of doing more. Plus, a few personal updates, including a surprising health discovery and what's coming next with the book. If you've been running on empty or wondering what comes after the sprint, this one will feel like a deep exhale.

Ever wonder why so many women with ADHD end up in relationships that drain them? You're not alone -- and it's not a coincidence. After hosting another magical ADHD moms' retreat, I couldn't shake the conversations we had around partners -- some amazing, others... deeply painful. In this episode, I'm sharing the patterns I've seen over and over: women with ADHD stuck in emotionally abusive relationships, often with narcissistic partners. And honestly, it makes me furious. We're digging into why this happens, how low self-esteem and a lifetime of gaslighting make us vulnerable, and how abusers prey on our empathy and longing for stability. I'm not a narcissism expert (yet), but I've got a stack of library books and a brain buzzing with questions. If you've ever doubted your gut or felt like your relationship was slowly chipping away at your sense of self, this one's for you. Plus, I give a life and book update, talk about the whirlwind of writing with ADHD, and how I'm navigating deadlines, stomach flu, identity theft, and everything in between.

Do you ever second guess every decision until you freeze? Same here for the first few years I ran my business. In this episode, I answer Jacki Hayes' question from her podcast, Here's What I've Learned: How have you evolved as a business owner over the years? The funny thing is, my response wasn't really a "business" answer. My hard won wisdom fits most situations when ADHD folks are trying something new. Or just trying to live. Chasing a goal, no matter the size or complexity, requires a lot of the same foundational skills. I bet you'll find at least one nugget helpful, no matter if you're starting a new business, going back to school, or organizing your hall closet. Today I'm sharing how I build my confidence when imposter syndrome is high; how I collect real data to make better and faster decisions, and how I use simplicity to make it doable, especially by matching my energy levels. When I protect capacity and use my energy management skills, I show up better for both my family and my work.

And if you want to hear how other owners answered Jacki's question, check out her podcast, Here's What I've Learned. You do not need "The Perfect Plan" to begin.

Are you running late before you even start getting ready? That's time blindness at work, mama. And wow, does it make everyday life harder! In this episode, I'm sharing the real talk from conversations with two different coaching clients this week about how ADHD brains process time—and why "it's time to go" means something totally different for us than it does for people who are naturally on time. Walking out the door isn't one task; it's a whole project. From shoes and water bottles to wrangling kids and finding the missing lunchbox, no wonder we're always scrambling. Here's the shift: it's not about fixing yourself or forcing your brain to work like everyone else's. It's about figuring out how your ADHD brain actually works and using that knowledge as the key to the puzzle. Once you see the pattern, you can set up systems that work with your brain, not against it. I'll walk you through how to break down "leaving the house" into actual steps, estimate how long it really takes, and give yourself the buffer time you need. This isn't about rushing or becoming a morning person – it's about giving yourself space to breathe and creating a rhythm that makes sense for you.

In just 15 minutes, you can make major headway on avoiding crises, and feel like you've got your life together. You're carrying a lot, and you're doing better than you think. Let's make space for mornings that feel calmer and less like a fire drill.

Have you ever wondered if you're doing enough to support your ADHD child? Or maybe you've questioned if what you're trying is even working. You're not the only one. When I saw that last year's most downloaded episode was about supporting your ADHD child, I knew I wanted to share this conversation from 2022 with you! In this episode, I'm sharing a Q&A session from when I was a guest expert in the Mothers Together community, for parents of neurodivergent children. The moms in Megan's community share vulnerable and raw struggles that I know you'll relate to. We dive into some of the most common struggles moms face when raising ADHD kids: school challenges, emotional regulation, should your child try medication (especially when you're worried about them not gaining weight), and that exhausting cycle of wondering, "Am I messing this up?" You'll hear encouragement, practical strategies, and lots of validation from a real conversation with moms who get it. Because sometimes the most powerful thing isn't a new parenting hack – it's gaining a new perspective or realizing you're not alone and you don't have to figure it all out by yourself.
