Being a mum with ADHD — or raising neurodivergent kids is a whole different level. ADHD Mums is the unfiltered, science-meets-reality podcast hosted by Jane McFadden, educational neuroscientist, advocate, and mother of three. This isn’t another polished parenting show with 'ten easy tips.' It’s real stories, confessions we’re not supposed to say out loud, and the research that explains why so many of us are running on empty. Every week you’ll hear: 🎙️ Confessions — raw, anonymous truths from mums navigating rage, burnout, and survival. 🧠 Expert insights — from neuroscientists, clinicians, and policy leaders on ADHD, autism, and mental health. 💬 Advocacy in action — exposing ADHD medication shortages, NDIS red tape, and the hidden costs mothers carry. With over 1 million downloads already tuning in from across the world, the podcast has already influenced ADHD reforms in Australia, been featured in national media, and pushed politicians to answer the questions mothers are asking.

You go to the mother's group, you don't put the brake on the pram, and it rolls across the carpark. Baby is fine. You are not. You're already the mum who decided — quietly, without asking anyone — that you wouldn't take your ADHD meds while breastfeeding. Because that's what good mothers do. This is the episode about what happens when 'just push through' stops being a plan. What we cover Why your prescriber freezes the second you say the word 'pregnant' and what to actually say back What the research actually says about traditional stimulants in pregnancy, and the gap between that and the kickback you've been getting Why pregnancy and breastfeeding aren't the same conversation, even though everyone keeps lumping them together The Infant Risk Center, the resource your psychiatrist probably hasn't looked at that pharmacists rely on Trying to conceive, IVF, egg collection, and where ADHD meds actually sit in that timeline The quiet self-sacrifice that tells you a thinking, regulated mother is somehow worse for the baby than an unmedicated, exhausted one PMS, perimenopause, antidepressants in the mix, and why ADHD is rarely just one medication, one decision, one answer Medication breaks, weekend breaks, and why being told to take them on the busiest days of your week isn't advice, it's a generic script Iron, thyroid, glucose, constipation, and the unsexy stuff your wellness actually hinges on while you're carrying everyone else's Why this episode matters There is a whole layer of women who stopped their meds the day they saw two lines on a test, never asked the question out loud, and have been white-knuckling it ever since. Not because the evidence said to. Because nobody…","meta_description":"This podcast episode is not a replacement for individual medical advice and is general education only.
