Motherhood in ADHD is not just another parenting book. It's not just another ADHD book. Instead, Patricia skillfully weaves the inner lives of mothers with ADHD together with enough information for you to chew on. It's a lovely blend of her signature empathy and optimism, without veering into saccharine advice on motherhood. I plan to recommend it to moms in every stage of their motherhood and ADHD journey.
Motherhood in ADHD is a must read book for ADHD moms. Patricia dives into the topics that impact ADHD moms the most: emotional regulation, mom guilt and self-doubt. She beautifully blends information, stories and practical tools that work for ADHD that makes the book an easy read. She shares her own experiences as an ADHD mom, highlighting humor, the struggle and the path to working with one's brain that brings more joy into her life. This is a heartfelt book will make moms feel seen, understood and they are not alone.
Motherhood in ADHD covers all the important topics that a busy, overwhelmed, distracted mom needs and is readable enough that you can squeeze it in between everything else that you're doing. Patricia not only knows what she's talking about, but more importantly is that soothing voice that will help you replace frazzled guilt with calm(-ish) confidence. You will not only be a better mom, you will also enjoy the journey a whole lot more.
I've known Patricia since she joined me as a guest on my podcast years ago; her knowledge of ADHD was clear then, and it's wonderful to see it available to all in her new book. Motherhood in ADHD covers what a mother with ADHD might need, from how ADHD presents differently in women to its very real effects on parenting and daily family life, all written in language that is clear and immediately usable. The strategies are grounded in a modern, accurate picture of how ADHD affects women and mothers, which makes this book a genuine resource for the ADHD community. I recommend it without reservation to any mother with ADHD who wants a guide that finally reflects her lived experience.
