Tori Phantom and Jimothy discuss various challenges to gentle parenting in the modern world and tell a few funny stories along the way. Together, they hope to help you look at parenting in a different light and share a few laughs along the way.

Helpful, fun, and effective strategies to support everyone’s executive function! Learn how to coach yourself, your teen, or your child to manage attention, organize, and plan. We share inspiration for families and individuals with neurodivergence, ADHD, autism, learning disabilities and more. We love what we do and are passionate about helping you thrive!

The challenges that come along with our precious children can send us over the edge if we don’t know a better way.

There’s nothing wrong with not knowing a better way. Most of us don’t know what’s coming until it hits us. And that’s okay. But the scramble to catch up and be the mom we want to be is a challenge.

Enter connection. Connection is the answer, because it opens your heart and mind to solutions that are meant for YOU and YOUR children.

Join Rebecca Brown Wright, parent educator and reformed yeller, in discussion about connection in motherhood, finding your purpose, smashing cultural narratives, and so much more as we learn how to put joy, connection, and confidence back into our lives.

Productivity, Parenting, and Education for Moms with Adult ADHD

Are you overwhelmed by the never-ending to do list of motherhood? Are you burnt out and barely keeping your head above water? Are you confused and frustrated by how all the other moms make it look so easy? And somehow you’re still floundering despite trying even harder…

Your purse is as overflowing as your mind, you never feel like a good enough mom, and you don’t dare have anyone over to visit to witness your messy home. You just want the best for your kids, but you can’t figure out how to manage the chaos, both in your mind and in your house.

Oh, I’ve been there, mama. Some days, I’m still there. Parenting with ADHD is hard!

We want to be structured for our kids, yet we can’t seem to stay consistent even for ourselves. But I’m letting go of everyone else’s perception of a “good mom” and stepping into loving who I am a little more each day. Will you join me?

Whether you have ADHD like I do, or think you might, here is your permission slip to let go of the pinterest worthy visions of organization and structure fit for everyone else. Let’s do life like our brains do life: creatively, lovingly, and with all your might. Moms with ADHD have a superpower of always trying their best, even when it doesn’t pan out.

How do I know? I have known about my ADD for over twenty years, and I want to share all of this hard-earned ADHD knowledge with you, making your adjustment a lot easier and faster than mine was.

What does Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder look like in women? We’ll dive into emotional regulation, motivation, executive function, hormones, medication, and natural treatments. Women with ADHD share their diagnosis stories with us, whether inattentive, hyperactive or combined, from childhood through adult diagnoses. We also talk about ADHD’s so-called friends like depression, anxiety, addiction, disordered eating, other learning differences, and what I’ve learned through therapy and CBT.

Science is my jam and learning about how our brains work through the lens of scientific research helps us understand who we are. ADHD is not just for little boys; it looks different in girls.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is a neurological medical condition, not an excuse for lazy, stupid, unmotivated people to not live up to our potential. Let’s agree to throw that thought in the trash.

Once we understand how our brains work, we can dive into the practical strategies like structuring our day, minimalism, money, nurturing our relationships, daily rhythms, using a planner, and improving our sleep. I want to help you build your version of a joyful family life.

We talk about everything from ADHD to Zebras, because that is how Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder works: to us, our thoughts are clearly connected, but non-linear to everyone else. I want you to love being a zebra in a world full of horses. We were born as unique, gorgeous creatures, not meant to blend in with the usual nor mundane.

When we embrace who we are and how our brains work, we can figure out how to live out lives successfully and in turn, lead our families well.

At the end of the day, we just want to be good moms. Spoiler alert: you are already a great mom.

If you’re ready to see that with your own two eyes, hit play and listen in as we love ourselves a little more each day of our ADHD lives. ADHD does NOT mean you’re doomed to be a hot mess, mama!

You CAN rewrite your story from shame spiral to success story, and I’ll be right here beside you to cheer you on!

With love, Patricia Sung, a fellow mama with ADHD
