ADHD mums know the struggle - routines sound great in theory, but in reality? They fall apart before breakfast. If you’ve spent money on colour-coded schedules only to watch them crumble in days (or hours), this episode is for you.
I break down why traditional routines don’t work for ADHD families and how to build a flexible system that actually sticks. You’ll hear relatable stories, practical strategies, and a refreshingly honest take on why routines aren’t about perfection - they’re about making life easier.
This isn’t about forcing a perfect system. It’s about building a routine that works for your ADHD brain, not against it.
If you’ve ever thought ‘why can’t I make routines work?’ - you need this episode. Hit play and learn how to finally build a system that works for your ADHD brain.
