A personal conversation about being a mom (and woman) with ADHD

What makes being a mom with ADHD so hard? Navigating executive
functions and emotional labor, for one. And feeling burned out
when burnout isn’t an option — because there’s always something
else that needs your very limited attention!


Talking about it with someone who just “gets it” is such a
relief. In this episode, Laura talks to her friend and colleague
Rae Jacobson, also a mom with ADHD. Listen to their conversation
and insights on this bonus Mother’s Day episode.
