The holidays are supposed to be joyful… so why do they leave you overstimulated, exhausted, and quietly unraveling by mid-December?

If you live with ADHD, the holidays can feel like a nonstop assault on your nervous system—noise, expectations, schedules blown to bits, emotional landmines, and a constant pressure to “show up happy.” This episode is a reminder that peace isn’t something you earn by doing more—it’s something you give yourself permission to protect.

We’re talking about what grace actually looks like during the holidays (hint: it’s not perfection), how to stop shaming yourself for burnout, and practical ways to create calm when your brain is running a thousand tabs at once. We’ll unpack why traditional holiday expectations clash with the ADHD nervous system, and how to reclaim the season without burning yourself to the ground.

This episode is for the parent who’s overwhelmed, the entrepreneur who’s tired of pushing, and the person who needs someone to say: you’re not failing—you’re human.

Slow down. Breathe. You’re allowed to choose peace, even now.

In this episode, we’re getting honest about the kind of grief no one talks about — the grief that comes with ADHD. The missed cues, the overwhelm, the emotional whiplash… and the silent guilt that sneaks in behind it.

We dig into how unity and love show up even in the moments where your brain feels scattered, your patience is thin, and your heart is tired. And we talk about the beauty of healing: not by pretending everything’s fine, but by learning how to move through life with grace, rhythm, and a whole lot of realness.

If you’ve been carrying ADHD grief quietly, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale.

And if you’re ready to untangle your mind, reset your routines, and reclaim your peace?

Check out my ADHD Reset — a simple, faith-grounded path to getting your focus, flow, and confidence back on track.

This episode is a reset moment—something I needed to say, and something a whole lot of us needed to hear. Over the next week or two I’ll be talking more about the ADHD Reset, but today… today is about the heart of it.

This is the reminder we forget way too often:

Life will not always wait for us to “feel ready.” Sometimes you just have to do the thing anyway. Not perfectly. Not with fireworks. Just with intention. One small action at a time. Because every little step stacks up, and before you know it, you’re moving again.

And on the other side of that, there’s the part we don’t honor enough:

You are allowed to just be. To sit still without guilt. To breathe without apologizing. To exist without performing. Rest isn’t laziness—it’s obedience. It’s choosing to show up as the person God already designed, instead of trying to outrun your own mind.

This episode is your reset button… your soft nudge to move… and your gentle permission to stop moving when you need to. Both are holy. Both are necessary. Both are part of living well with ADHD.

Liberation of the ADHD Mind: S2 E1

Letting Go of the Superwoman Mask

In this episode of the Chatterbrain Mommy Podcast, I talk about the importance of letting go of the 'superwoman mask' that many women, especially those with ADHD, wear to appear strong and capable while struggling internally. The conversation explores the emotional toll of this facade, the societal pressures that contribute to it, and practical steps to reclaim authenticity and self-care. The host emphasizes the need for support, the value of vulnerability, and the liberation that comes from being true to oneself.

Takeaways

• Letting go of the superwoman mask is essential for mental health.
• The mask is built from societal expectations and personal survival.
• Wearing the mask leads to overwhelm, isolation, and burnout.
• Asking for help is a strategy, not a weakness.
• Rest is a necessary part of life, not a luxury.
• Authenticity models strength for others, especially children.
• You can reclaim your identity by shedding the mask.
• Support systems are crucial for emotional well-being.
• It's okay to not have everything together all the time.
• Progress over perfection is key to personal growth.

Liberation of the ADHD Mind: S2 E18

Emotional Dysregulation

Ever had one of those moments where your brain says “go,” but your body’s like, “nah, we’re staying right here”? That’s what I call emotional flooding and freeze state mode — when everything hits you all at once, and your nervous system (or as I like to say, your inner security guard) shuts the whole party down.

In this episode, we’re talking about what emotional flooding really feels like — that spinning, shutdown, can’t-think-can’t-move mode — and how to get yourself out of it without judging yourself or calling it “lazy.” We’ll talk about how ADHD, trauma, and high emotional sensitivity all tie into this, and how to build calm before the chaos hits.

I’ll walk you through a few grounding tricks, body resets, and what to do when your brain refuses to “regulate” no matter how many deep breaths you take. Spoiler alert: it’s not about forcing calm — it’s about giving your body permission to feel safe again.

So grab a hot green tea with me, take that deep breath, and let’s talk about why freeze mode isn’t failure — it’s protection.
