22. Motherhood rage and dysregulation with Jenna Free (ADHD coach & therapist)

Your ADHD Besties

Hi hiii ADHD loves!
In today's episode we have another bestie guestie on the podcast, Jenna Free - ADHD coach and therapist (who you may know as @adhdwithjennafree on Instagram or TikTok).
We chat through two dilemmas with Jenna:
• Dilemma #1 - A cute listener called Em asks: "I told my partner that I have ADHD and struggle a lot with 'time blindness'. While he acknowledged I may have ADHD and wanted to support me, he said this trait was simply “poor time management skills” and encouraged me to learn to do better. How do I explain to people what I believe to be certain before I receive the medical certainty of a diagnosis?"
• Dilemma #2 - A gorgeous name twin listener called 'Tara from Texas' asks: "My son just turned 4 and I find myself exploding with anger seemingly out of nowhere almost daily. He brings me so much joy, so it kills me when I go from 0 to 1000. The most frequent advice I get is to take care of myself first because unmet needs can manifest as anger. BUT having ADHD makes self care so HARD! What is that?!"
• Ireggy Seggy - we play a fun new game that Jenna suggested called 'stick and twist', where we admit to hobbies we started and the others have to guess whether we stuck with them or jumped ship. 🏃‍♀️🛳️
RECS:
• Jenna recommends Love Island USA, which she's been bingeing this season!
• Grace recommends a stick vacuum cleaner dupe that's changed her life by gameifying vacuuming in a way that is ✨magic✨ for ADHD brains
• Tara recommends a Netflix show called Valeria which she's obsessed with (those fuchsia couches and floor to ceiling maximalist wallpapers 😍)

Remember to head over to @adhdwithjennafree and @adhdbusiness on socials and give Jenna some love!
SEE YOU NEXT THURSDAY LOVES...
Your ADHD Besties,
Tara & Grace xx
