In this Stace and Steph episode, we talk about what summer looks like for the ADHD Mom: The Good, The Bad, and the very, very Ugly.
Transitions are tough for women with ADHD, and the summer transition can be especially jarring.
Summer can be such a struggle to balance "work" and "fun" and the result can feel very overwhelming.
Who is in charge here?? The lack of structure and routine and the variability of summer days is stressful for ADHD women who struggle with time management, executive functioning, and working memory.
Navigating our complicated relationships with our to-do lists becomes a special kind of hell in the summer.
We remind ourselves of Dr. Li's advice to change our "dread language" around the tasks we have created "incompetence narratives" around, telling ourselves stories and creating drama rather than reminding ourselves that the task is absolutely do-able, isn't as bad as we think, and we have the skills we need.
Stace shares her moments of joy and magic and Steph celebrates her 1980s summer victory and how she's teaching her kids to have a "good joy ethic."
We lament the lack of village and 1980s/90s mentality where we essentially raise our free-range kids together and brainstorm ways we can implement a little of that magic.
