   159: Does your ADHD kid tell you what they're doing INSTEAD of doing what you just asked!?!?!

   This was a HUGE ah ha moment for me and my ADHD son this summer. We've been in this pattern for as long as he's been able to talk. I ask him to do something, he tells me what he's doing instead. This has led to us BOTH being very reactive and triggered and it's been one pattern I haven't been able to crack. UNTIL NOW! In this episode I break down the exact moment we figured it out, how things have changed since, and exactly how we are practicing it so we can lower the defensive walls and start communicating more respectfully! 🎉STOP YELLING! The ADHD Behavior Blueprint is HERE!🎉 If you are…

   157: Why so many high-achieving moms feel exhausted with Dr. Anne Welsh

   Get ready for an amazing conversation with Dr. Anne Welsh , a psychologist, executive coach, working mother, and the author of the upcoming book, Ambitious Mother: From Surviving to Thriving in Your Career and at Home (Bloomsbury, 8/6/26). As a mother who has navigated the demands of career ambition alongside parenting, she understands the invisible pressure many women feel to succeed at work while being fully present at home, often at the cost of their own well-being.

   155: Does your ADHD kid think they're "the bad kid?" And do you agree?

   In this emotional episode I share a deeply pivotal moment in my son's ADHD journey. This is the episode for every parent who's said the unplanned, unfiltered thing and immediately hated themselves for it. What happens in our body before that moment, and why it keeps happening. When we hear "I hate you." or "you're the worst parent." These things come out of tiny mouths during dysregulation and how it hits us like a ton of bricks. I share how this happened to me over the weekend and I break down what I did in response. Not perfectly, but how I helped myself and my son through this really hard…

   153: Why is it so hard to say YES to your ADHD kid?

   This past weekend we had experienced several bumpy moments with my ADHD son. Things that we had been working on that weren't clicking the way I had hoped. Then we had a decent chunk of time where things were going WELL! It was fun, we were enjoying each other and I could see his effort. Then he started asking for some extra things. Nothing crazy, literally an extra scoop of ice cream and some sprinkles. And I could FEEL my body want to grab the "no" and stay there. I felt an instant resistance to saying yes. This episode dives into WHY I believe this was happening. I also share how I shifted…

   167: The Good Girl Grew Up and Now She's Yelling

   Rage is getting louder. Rage is feeling more ever present in the world of women in their 40s. And rage is influencing our parenting and our relationships. Rage is a key indicator of perimenopause. And when we are in perimenopause our estrogen is fluctuating causing us to have less of an ability to buffer hard emotions and manage negative feelings. In this episode I share how complex this moment can be for us as mothers to ADHD children and the ONE strategy that we will do together as a tribe of mothers to support ourselves. Not so we can support the rest of the family at a level of…

   165: Does your ADHD child lash out physically?

   In this episode I share the findings from 4 studies that look at the physical aggression of ADHD children. I connect the dots from these studies to what is likely happening in your home with your ADHD child when they are frustrated, have been told no, or are being asked to transition. The data suggests that 78.9% of the people who will listen to this podcast have experienced some form of child to parent violence during a moment of dysregulation. That means you are most certainly not alone. My hope in this episode is to share a bigger picture about what is happening for your child as well as…

    164: Your anticipation of the fight with your ADHD kid, is likely causing the exact fight you don't want!

    Over the past week so many parents shared with me that managing their child's mood was like walking on eggshells. They were constantly scanning for things that would trigger their child or set them off. And they'd try to avoid it but all the strategies used seemed to intensify the moment or backfire completely. In this week's episode I talk about that anticipatory anxiety and how our nervous system's survival strategy is failing us. And I give you steps on how to rebuild that predictability so both you and your child come to these triggering moments in a different way. I give you an example…
