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 — an Autistic and ADHD mum with a Master's in Neuroscience and Psychology and certification as an ADHD and Autism assessor. 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 clinicians, researchers, 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 from around the world, the podcast has influenced ADHD reforms in Australia, been featured in national media, and pushed politicians to answer the questions mothers are asking. If you've ever screamed in the car, forgotten every form until the night before, or wondered if you're the only one falling apart — this podc…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-17T06:22:15.189015+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/adhd-mums-6363089"},"episode":{"title":"107.

I have ADHD. So does my friend. She's sitting at the coffee shop halfway through her first one, watching me sweat through the door twenty minutes late. Same diagnosis. Different morning. Different brain doing the work behind it. What We Cover The vein surgery saga — three appointments, three completely different outcomes, same brain The receptionist who handed me the appointment card like a library card and the one who didn't Why \"set more alarms, leave earlier\" is the equivalent of telling someone with low blood sugar to just have more energy The four types of ADHD time blindness — petrol gauge stuck on full, the car that won't start, the GPS that lies, the seatbelt warning that's late Why your strategies haven't worked — because they were built for someone else's type What actually works for each one — visual time, body doubling, departure rituals, calibration with a stopwatch, manufactured deadlines Why \"I left heaps of time\" keeps being true and untrue at the same time The 40-50% rule — adults with ADHD underestimate task time by half. Double it. Then add buffer. Why the friend at the coffee shop at five to nine isn't more disciplined — she's borrowing structure from her environment What collapses on school holidays, sick days, working from home, and what that tells you about which strategies are actually holding you up The estrogen/dopamine link — why the same brain at 32 isn't the same brain at 42 Free Resource Energy Accounting Guide — for the dopamine/load piece: https://adhdmums.com.au/product/adhd-mums-energy-accounting-guide/ Free Resources Library: https://adhdmums.com.au/product-category/free-resources/ Paid Resource ADHD Reset Workbook — Values, Energy & Planning: https://adhdmums.com.au/product/adhd-planner-and-values/ Related Episode…","meta_description":"Sorry I'm late.
