If you’re an ADHD mom wondering why everything feels louder, harder, and more exhausting lately, then this one’s for you.
In this episode, Dr. Leann Borneman gets real about the absolute chaos of motherhood with ADHD, and why the invisible labor, relentless demands, and sensory overload aren’t just “part of the job”, they’re a setup for burnout. And if you’re also in perimenopause? Buckle up, because the hormonal shifts do mess with your ADHD symptoms and regulation, even if the research hasn’t caught up yet.
We’re naming the rage, the noise, the overstimulation, and the deep, quiet guilt so many moms carry. This episode is validating, raw, and full of “oh my god, yes” moments, with some practical support to help you stop masking, start protecting your nervous system, and finally say, “this isn’t fine, and I’m not doing this alone”.
Because the problem isn’t that you’re failing, it’s that the world expects you to mother like you’re not neurodivergent or hormonal.
And if you’re looking for receipts, a new position paper published in July 2025 finally backs what we’ve been saying for years: hormonal fluctuations absolutely impact cognition, mood, and executive function. This peer-reviewed paper compiles extensive data to support the link between hormonal shifts and changes in ADHD symptom presentation across the lifespan.
