Podcast Episode 340: It’s Not You, It’s ADHD (From Squirrels and Decision Fatigue to Thriving) with Patricia Sung
Does life feel like you’re puttering along in a beat-up Beetle while everyone else is zooming past in Teslas? You’re not alone.
ADHD coach, podcaster, and mom of two, Patricia Sung, knows this feeling all too well. After excelling in school, she hit a wall of overwhelm in college—only to finally get an ADHD diagnosis that put the puzzle pieces together. Now, she’s on a mission to help fellow moms stop the cycle of frustration and guilt and start thriving in a way that actually works for their beautifully unique brains.
In this episode, we tackle the very real struggles of ADHD—decision fatigue, time blindness, and the never-ending “What’s for dinner?” debate (because meal planning might actually be the ninth circle of hell). Patricia doesn’t just get it—she has solutions that actually work! We share how to find strategies that make daily life easier instead of adding more to your already overloaded mental to-do list. If you’ve ever wondered why the simplest tasks feel like climbing Mount Everest, you’re about to get some serious clarity.
Plus, we get the inside scoop on Patricia’s upcoming book and why you need to catch her at this year’s Happy Mom Summit. Whether you’re navigating ADHD yourself or just trying to keep up with the constant whirlwind of mom life, this episode is packed with relatable moments, actionable tips, and a whole lot of encouragement.
In this episode of the No Guilt Mom podcast you’ll learn:
- Why many of us thrive when we have of structure with flexibility
- How to manage decision fatigue
- Why it is important to view ADHD as a unique brain style- and not a deficit
- Where you can find your community and support, and why it’s so vital
