#119: ADHD Is Not An Excuse; It Is A Map: Steph Talks Life Changes, Meds, and Success with ADHD

from Mother Plus Podcast · host Stacey Hutson & Stephanie Sprenger

Send us Fan MailSteph shares how her life has changed since her ADHD diagnosis, both at work and at home. First, a med update: "I don't feel the meds when I take them, but I feel it when I don't." How finding the right formula has been the key to achieving balance, good sleep, and improved focus. Aside from meds, Steph talks about the element of self-awareness and understanding that has helped with executive functioning, organization, negative beliefs, and procrastination when managing the household as a newly single mom. ADHD can be a superpower: Steph shares how understanding her neurodivergence has been the key to reinventing and supercharging her career. Never underestimate the power of passion when it comes to success. Remember, the ADHD brain is wired for interest, not importance. Self-acceptance and allowing ourselves to choose a path that fits for us can get us unstuck and unlock our professional potential. Steph shares what it felt like to witness her daughter's recent ADHD diagnosis and how healing it was for her as an adult who went undiagnosed for decades. ADHD is NOT an excuse; it is a map. Don't forget that you are always allowed to change your course, and understanding yourself provides a clearer path. Join the ADHD Moms Club HERE! WHERE TO FIND US NOWConnect with Stacey🎧 The Next Phase Podcast —  on Apple & Spotify 📸 Instagram: @stacehutsonConnect with Steph🎧 The Peri-Normal Podcaston Apple and Spotify✍️ The Reclamation Eraon Substack📝 MidCircle— a writing community for midlife women📸 Instagram: @stephsprenger
