Two ADHD mums trade real highs and lows: the joy of studying from bed during recovery, the frustration of losing access to melatonin in the UK, and the courage to set new boundaries around oversharing. We share a plan to move personal stories to a pay-what-you-can Patreon while keeping info-rich episodes public.

• UK melatonin access tightening and workarounds
• Comparing sedative sleep meds with melatonin and white noise
• Returning to a counseling course from bed for stimulation
• ADHD, TMI, and setting safer sharing boundaries
• Moving personal highs and lows to Patreon
• Pay-what-you-can for first hundred supporters
• Info sheets and references as Patreon perks
• EHCP assessment progress for a child
• Invitation for listener voice notes and questions

“Don’t forget you can call us and share your stuff on the phone number that we don’t have on us right this minute. I’ll add that in at the end, a little sting.”

We unpack why “new year, new me” backfires for ADHD mums and offer kinder, habit-based alternatives that fit real life. From dopamine needs to the mother load, we trade all-or-nothing pressure for tiny steps, seasonal timing, and better support.

• Why January feels heavy after holiday overload
• How ADHD motivation differs from willpower myths
• Why vague goals trigger shame and stall action
• Habit stacking for small, immediate wins
• Five minutes instead of every day framing
• Measuring progress without perfection
• Using seasons and rest as strategy
• Asking for support and building your village
• References: Barkley, Fogg, Atomic Habits, habit formation research
• Community, gratitude, and our season three update

We share a birthday, a Christmas Eve hospital discharge, and the joy of eating salad again while mapping a year of change with tarot, grief work, and ADHD-friendly tools. Caregiving, body doubling, small money wins, and gentle plans build a steadier start to 2026.

• early discharge from hospital and fear mixed with relief
• Christmas recovery in bed with practical support
• food freedom after surgery and 30 plants a week
• tarot as a reflective framework for planning
• grief around family change and safe ways to cry
• pausing ADHD meds during rest and rebuilding capacity
• packing paralysis, body doubling, and micro-tasks
• selling vintage items for cash flow and momentum
• realistic plans for the pod while recovering

We’ll get back on it, guys. We’ll have a little schedule. It might be a bit under what we would normally do because of Claire's condition, but soon she’ll "be weller than anyone’s ever known me."
