#157: A Summer Without a Schedule: My ADHD Mom Game Plan

Send us Fan Mail

If the thought of summer break has your nervous system clenching—hi, you’re not alone. In this honest and unfiltered solo episode, Stacey shares what she’s doing differently this summer as an ADHD mom. Spoiler: it has nothing to do with sticker charts, schedules, or rhythms & routines. Instead, it’s about trusting her gut, working with her energy, and building her capacity to handle the chaos that comes with summer.

You’ll hear:

• How a book (How to Choose by Tara McMullin) cracked something wide open for her
• What Human Design is, and how it’s helped her stop trying to “do summer right”
• Why ADHD moms can fall into the trap of thinking they’re too fragile for this
• How capacity work (inspired by @Raquel_the_capacity_expert) is helping her shift out of that mindset
• A mindset shift for those of you who strongly dislike imaginative floor play
• Her personal mantra for this summer—and how you can borrow it
• What you can expect from the Mother Plus Podcast this summer

This episode is your permission slip to stop forcing and start feeling. You’re stronger than you think, and you don’t have to reinvent yourself this summer. You just have to stay with yourself.
