48) ADHD in Motherhood: Managing Overwhelmed Routines and Late Diagnosis

Motherhood is overwhelming for everyone, but for mothers with ADHD, the mental load can feel like a daily battle against executive dysfunction. In this episode of Dam Parenting, we are joined by Emma from ⁠ADHD Potential to explore why so many women are receiving ADHD diagnoses in their 30s and 40s—often triggered by the relentless demands of parenting.

We take a warm, honest, and direct look at how ADHD impacts emotional regulation, household routines, and the internal pressure to "do it all." Emma shares practical, ADHD-friendly strategies for creating structure that actually works, while emphasizing the importance of setting realistic expectations. If you’ve been struggling in silence or feel like you’re constantly "failing" at the basics, this conversation is a reminder to trade shame for self-compassion. Whether you are diagnosed or just suspect your brain works differently, join Eva and Maren for actionable advice on managing your mindset and your family.
