69)ADHD & Motherhood: Managing Boredom, Burnout, and the Baby Years with Coach Emma

How do you stay present and engaged when motherhood feels repetitive, exhausting, or even boring—especially with an ADHD brain?

In this insightful episode, Maren and Eva sit down with Emma, an ADHD Potential Coach, to talk about the often-unspoken challenges of being a neurodivergent mother. From overstimulation and executive dysfunction to the quiet frustration of caring for a non-verbal baby, Emma offers realistic, supportive strategies to help ADHD moms thrive in early parenthood.


You’ll learn:

  • Why ADHD brains struggle with monotony—and how to reframe daily routines

  • Simple hacks to manage boredom, burnout, and emotional dysregulation

  • How to build self-care into your day without needing extra time or childcare

  • Tips for navigating toddler chaos, postpartum ADHD flares, and low-stimulation tasks like feeding or rocking

  • How embracing your neurodivergence can help you connect more authentically with your children

This is an essential episode for any parent wondering why the “hard parts” of parenting feel even harder—and how to create more joy and regulation in the midst of it all.
