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":"Just 'Find a Good Stopping Place on the Ipad' It's 5:45pm on a Wednesday.

I'm cooking three separate dinners on not enough burners. My six-year-old is crying about the green spoon. My eight-year-old is in a Minecraft cave with a dog that needs a bone. My ten-year-old has found paint. 'Find a good stopping place' is good advice. It just assumes conditions that don't exist in this house. What We Cover The 5:45 PM scenario in full — three kids, three meals, three headphones, zero spare burners, and what it actually costs to transition one child off a screen while managing the rest Compliance depletion — why your child has run out of yeses by dinner time, and why that's not defiance or addiction Self-determination theory and autonomy — why the iPad might be the only thing your child got to choose all day, and what happens when you take it Why 'find a good stopping place' works on Saturday morning and collapses on Wednesday night — and what's actually different between those two moments The working memory piece — why your child isn't defying the boundary, they just can't hold it without you standing there Task-switching costs for the ADHD brain — what every transition actually costs you at the end of the day Why you're not managing the transitions. You are the transition. The Saturday morning benchmark — why one good morning doesn't set the standard, and why comparing Wednesday night to it is destroying you What the parenting advice doesn't account for: one adult, multiple kids, depleted executive function, and no support Free Resources Surviving the Mental Load of the School Year (Free) 👉 https://adhdmums.com.au/product/adhd-school-year-mental-load-kit/ Household Family Meeting Template (Free) 👉 https://adhdmums.com.au/product/adhd-household-family-meeting-template/ Paid Resource Meltdown &…","meta_description":"📬 Listener Questions & Community It's 5:45 PM.
