Do you feel like motherhood’s been kind of a raw deal?
Meet my friend Kelly Donahue, founder of Badass Moms. Kelly and I were in the same Integrative Life Coach certification course and I fell in love with her spunky spirit and gentle tough love.
She just launched her podcast earlier this year, talking to women who found their fun and let go of the impossible “selfless mother” standard we were raised with. If you’re ready to ask for what you want, have more fun, and dismantle internalized patriarchy, this show is for you.
In this episode, Kelly and I chat about how much I hate sticker charts when they turn into shame highlighters, and how I can’t stand imaginative play with my kids on her podcast, Badass Moms. And I have zero shame about that.
Kelly shares:
On this episode of Badass Moms, host Kelly Donahue speaks with Patricia Sung, an adult ADHD coach and speaker, about how moms with ADHD can rise above the overwhelm and build a life they love in a way that works with their ADHD brain. They discuss practical strategies for managing time and achieving goals, and how to find confidence in running both family and work life. The episode aims to support moms who have ADHD or suspect they have it to lead their family well while enjoying motherhood.
