What if understanding your brain could change the way you see yourself, care for your family, and approach motherhood?</p><p><br></p><p>Today, I’m joined by Dr. Amy Moore for a conversation about ADHD in motherhood, and I’m so glad you’re here for this one.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Amy is a cognitive psychologist, clinical researcher, childdevelopment specialist, and parent educator with more than 30 years of experience working with neurodivergent children and their families. She’s also the host of The Brainy Moms podcast, a TEDx speaker, and a Christian counselor. I had the pleasure of joining her on The Brainy Moms, and now I get to bring her incredible knowledge and experience to you.</p><p><br></p><p>But what makes this conversation especially meaningful is that Dr. Amy is both a mom with ADHD and an ADHD mom. She understands firsthand the challenges of navigating motherhood while also helping children whose brains work differently.</p><p><br></p><p>We talk about what ADHD can look like in mothers, how it affects our everyday lives and relationships, and how understanding the way our brains work can help us approach motherhood with greater confidence, compassion, and practical tools.</p><p><br></p><p>And this is just the first part of our ADHD series! In thisconversation, we&#39;re focusing on ADHD in motherhood, and in the second episode, Dr. Amy and I turn our attention to ADHD in children and how we can better understand and support them. I really encourage you to listen to both, because I think there&#39;s so much value in understanding not only our own brains, but the brains of the children we&#39;re raising.</p><p><br></p><p>Dr. Amy&#39;s new book,<em> Hearts-On ADHD Parenting: Brain-Based, Grace-Filled Strategies for Raising Kids with Big Emotions and Challenging Behaviors</em> is out in the world (link above!) and I cannot wait for you to hear from her.</p><p> </p><p>Thank you so much for joining me for this conversation with Dr. Amy Moore!
