And this conversation is for anyone who can do really big, complicated, creative things… but still feels completely floored by the dishwasher, laundry, meals, forms, life admin and all the tiny repetitive jobs that somehow never stop coming. Amy was diagnosed with ADHD at just five years old, and ADHD runs through her whole family. But even with that early diagnosis, medication and years of understanding her brain, adulthood still brought a whole new layer of challenges. The mental load. The overwhelm. The pressure to keep everything running. The feeling that everyone else seems to be managing it better. Then perimenopause hit, and everything got harder. We talk about why so many ADHD women swing between over-functioning and burnout, why complicated productivity systems rarely stick, and why the answer might not be becoming more organised or disciplined at all. Amy shares how she learned to simplify, work with her actual capacity and focus on the small number of boring-but-important things that keep life moving. This is a very practical conversation, but it’s also such a compassionate one. Because if you’ve ever looked around your house, your to-do list or your family life and thought, Why can’t I just keep on top of this? — there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. You may just be trying to carry far too much. In this episode, we cover: Being diagnosed with ADHD at five, and what Amy understood — and didn’t understand — about ADHD growing up Why medication helped with school and focus but didn’t teach the life skills needed for adulthood How perimenopause can intensify ADHD symptoms, even when you already understand your diagnosis ADHD medication alongside sleep, exercise, lifestyle support and practical strategies Losing confidence in your abilities and choosing an “easier” path because of ADHD Finding the ADHD “sweet spot” between intense challenge, boredom and burnout Why ADHD brains may need meaningful challenge without an unsustainable pace Building work and a life around your energy instead of expecting eight-hour-a-day productivity Why ADHD mothers carry such a heavy mental load Unrealistic expectations, perfectionism and the feeling of never doing enough Why everything can feel urgent when prioritisation is difficult The cycle of long to-do lists, overdoing it and burnout Applying compassionate parenting strategies to yourself Amy’s “taxing tasks” approach and identifying the boring things that genuinely matter Why new planners and complicated systems often work temporarily because novelty is doing the heavy lifting Reducing daily executive-function demands by making basic routines repeatable Defining “good enough” instead of aiming for a perfectly organised home Why understanding your capacity matters more than copying someone else’s routine Simplifying when outsourcing isn’t financially realistic ADHD, motherhood and the shame attached to domestic expectations Sharing the load with partners and finding the household tasks that suit each person The power of ADHD women finding spaces where they can ask honest questions without shame Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome and introducing Amy Marie Hann 02:00 - Being diagnosed with ADHD at five 03:00 - What an early diagnosis did — and didn’t — explain 04:00 - ADHD, adulthood and perimenopause 05:00 - Medication, school and self-belief 08:00 - Medication, lifestyle and practical strategies 09:30 - Finding the right pace for an ADHD brain 10:30 - The cycle of challenging work, boredom and burnout 11:30 - Finding your ADHD sweet spot 13:00 - Trying different paths and discovering what fits 15:00 - Building work around your actual energy 16:00 - Why your best work may not require eight-hour days 17:00 - Finding something you can stay interested in 18:00 - ADHD, organisation and the myth that every ADHD woman looks the same 20:00 - Perfectionism, over-functioning and coping behaviours 21:00 - The mental load of ADHD motherhood 22:00 - Unrealistic expectations and the endless to-do list 23:00 - Parenting yourself with more compassion 24:00 - The six or seven boring things that matter 25:00 - Why complicated systems fail 26:00 - Executive-function energy and removing daily decisions 27:00 - Amy’s three daily “taxing tasks” 28:00 - Working full-time, ...
