I am blown away by the women who walk the journey alongside me and turn challenges into something they can share with others. Jodie McGrath does exactly that through sharing her current journey alongside light bulb moments and an adult diagnosis of ADHD. Listen as Amy and Jodie discuss:

  • Finding other ways to get things done rather than feeling like you need to do it all and making it mean something about our character, rather than about our brain.
  • The internal dialogue. How we often come up with reasons to explain our behaviours without realising we've spent a lifetime of feeling that we aren't able to meet expectations of ourselves and others.
  • Everyday tasks of organisation, cleaning and other coordinated efforts which can feel overwhelming if we let them.
  • Accepting that it is a continual process and gradually getting to the point working with our brain, rather than feeling like we're fighting it.

Jodie acknowledges she is very much still in the stage of discovery and curiosity beside her somewhat recent diagnosis. As with motherhood, some moments are definitely easier than others. Yet, the strength to parent with ADHD with the modern demands of motherhood is absolutely inspirational within this episode.
