What Most Parents Get Wrong About ADHD | Jheri South (Bonus Episode)

For those who are new here, I release bonus episodes that speak to a niche part of my audience. If this one isn’t quite what you’re looking for, feel free to explore the other episodes that dropped this week or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation you won’t want to miss!

--------------------------------

Today’s guest says the hardest part of motherhood isn’t the noise or the mess - it’s the invisible chaos happening inside us. Jheri South is an ADHD and parenting coach, a mom of seven neurodivergent kids, and a powerful voice for families navigating overwhelm. After surviving single motherhood, a late ADHD diagnosis, and helping her son through a suicide attempt, she transformed her lived chaos into practical tools and life-changing clarity for others.

In this episode, Jheri shares the real story behind mom overwhelm, ADHD, autism, and anxiety - and why traditional approaches often fall short. We talk about how coaching can create breakthroughs, how to parent neurodivergent kids without constant power struggles, and how to rebuild connection when everything feels like it’s falling apart.

If you’ve ever felt lost, overloaded, or unsure how to help your child—or yourself—this conversation brings hope, honesty, and a path forward.
