Grace Wilson - ADHD and Body Doubling in Motherhood

Has you else realized that motherhood might be revealing hidden ADHD traits? I sure did.

Ever since becoming a mom, I’ve noticed my focus on tasks wavers — and turns out, I’m not alone in this?

This isn’t just “laziness” or “not trying hard enough” — it’s about executive function challenges, and there are tools to help.

One game-changer? Body doubling. Just having someone there—virtually or physically—can make starting and staying on task so much easier.

I spoke with my best friend, Grace Wilson, who has been dealing with this most of her life but when she became a mother…allll of it came to a head. Fast and hard!

It’s like having a little external brain boost, reducing overwhelm, building accountability, and making boring chores less daunting.

And hear me out — sharing your struggles with those who get it can ease the mental load too.

Because, trust me, you’re not crazy. You're just human, and understanding this can radically change how you handle your days.

Do you body double? Drop a 💪 if you do or tag a mom who should try this.

Always remember: it’s okay to ask for help — even from your crew of friends, family, or a quick FaceTime buddy.
