We forgot to tell you that Ron's a rad dad

We're back after a little hiatus after a not so little event: Ron became a Dad! We're talking today about how Ron's adjusting to his new life, new family, new role, new everything!

Those early newborn days are a whirlwind for any new parent. But add ADHD in the mix and the experience can be truly disorienting. Sleepless nights, upside down routines, and a fresh array of intense emotions leave ADHD mums and dads wondering: "Who am I? And tf just happened to me?!"

In today's episode, Ron (our new rad dad) and Liz talk:

Ron's new role as a father and the impact it has on his ADHD symptoms
the struggle of finding time for self-care
coping with the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with parenting (hint: it doesn't go away!)
the overwhelming nature of parenting, the fear of making mistakes, and the pressure to do everything right
the need to develop new ADHD coping strategies to adapt to a new life as a parent.
how to create open communication and support between partners - crucial to navigating the difficulties of parenting

Congratulations Ron and Gwen! And to all ADHD parents, new and not so new, we thing you're bloody awesome.

Like what you're hearing? Hooray!
