An ADHD mum having older children who are discovering their own minds brings a whole new level of emotion and stress. You’re still developing too — your prefrontal cortex may not yet be fully mature, and hormones can still make logic harder to access. Yet here you are, guiding a child who’s learning to manage their own emotions every day at school.Navigating school life with an ADHD child can feel like playing emotional tennis — one moment you’re defending, the next you’re teaching, all while holding your own feelings together. You might feel like the NHS expects you to “just get on with it” and family assume you’ve got this by now. But those playground comments, the meltdowns, the constant pressure to keep life balanced — it’s a lot.

This space is here so you don’t have to do it alone. To give you understanding, support, and a place to land before you feel like you might crack. Because you deserve the same compassion and care you pour into your child every day.

Living with ADHD later in life. This stage can feel like one of the hardest of all. Your prefrontal cortex is finally fully developed, and in some ways, you see things more clearly than ever before. But at the same time, your hormones are shifting, your energy is changing, and the you that you’ve always known can start to feel like she’s slipping away. Your ADHD symptoms may feel stronger than they’ve ever been, and on top of that, your children — who might also be neurodivergent — are beginning to carve out their own lives. They may say things without thinking, and even though you understand why, the words still cut deep. This can be such a lonely, emotional time where it feels like no one truly understands what’s going on inside you, and even medication can feel like a balancing act.

This space is for you — the mum who’s done it all, held it all, and is still trying to find her balance again. You deserve gentle guidance, connection, and a reminder that you’re still you — even through all the shifts, changes, and new beginnings.
