As a small business owner with ADHD, a mom of busy teens, and someone navigating the ups and downs of my 40s, I’ve had to learn to embrace one of the hardest lessons of all: It’s okay not to have it all together.

The holiday season can feel like a whirlwind of excitement, pressure, and endless to-do lists—and for those with ADHD, it can be especially overwhelming. From shopping and wrapping presents to hosting family gatherings and keeping up with social obligations, the holidays often bring a perfect storm of tasks that can feel impossible to manage. If you're juggling ADHD on top of it all, the extra mental load can sometimes feel like too much. But don’t worry—there are strategies that can help you stay on track and make the season more manageable.

Here’s a guide to help you navigate the holiday chaos with less stress and more joy.

If you have ADHD, managing time, staying organized, and completing tasks can often feel like a struggle. These challenges aren’t just about forgetfulness—they’re linked to something called executive functioning, which includes the mental skills needed for planning, organizing, decision-making, and self-regulation. For people with ADHD, these functions often don't operate as smoothly as they should.

Today, we’ll explore what executive functioning is, how ADHD impacts these skills, and simple strategies to improve them.

If you’re a mom with ADHD—and especially if your child also has ADHD—you know how challenging it can be to create a routine that works for everyone. Between the chaos of managing daily tasks, getting everyone out the door on time, and juggling the unique needs of a child with ADHD, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. But here’s the thing: I’ve learned that creating ADHD-friendly routines can be a game-changer, not just for my child, but for me as well.

In this blog, I’m going to share how I’ve created routines that work for our ADHD brains, the trial and error we’ve gone through, and how a little structure can actually reduce stress and bring more calm to our day-to-day life.

Living with ADHD can sometimes feel like a constant uphill battle. Whether it’s managing distractions, missing deadlines, forgetting appointments, or struggling to stay organized, it can be easy to fall into a cycle of self-criticism. If you have ADHD, you might constantly feel like you’re falling short of expectations—whether those are your own or others’. The truth is, ADHD presents unique challenges that require patience, understanding, and most importantly, self-compassion.

In this blog, I’m going to explore why self-compassion is so crucial for those with ADHD, how to cultivate it, and how embracing kindness toward yourself can lead to more successful outcomes in your personal and professional life.

Executive function skills—such as planning, organization, time management, and impulse control—are essential for academic success. However, students with challenges in these areas—often due to ADHD—may face difficulties in staying organized, managing tasks, and regulating emotions. These challenges can impact their academic performance and overall well-being. Understanding these struggles and providing the right support can help students navigate school more effectively and confidently.
