84. I Love My Family… But I’m So F**king Angry (Mum Rage Part 1)

If you've ever felt like you were about to rage-clean the entire house, scream in your car, or book a one-way ticket to anywhere then here, this episode is for you. We’re diving into mum rage, sensory overload, and the shame spiral that follows—because if just regulating your emotions was that easy, none of us would be listening to this episode. Dr. Jacinta Thompson is back to break down why ADHD mums experience explosive frustration and what’s actually happening in your brain when you hit breaking point. 💡 What We Cover:✔️ Why mum rage happens & how ADHD makes it worse✔️ How sensory overload builds up (no… it's not just the loud noises)✔️ The patriarchy’s role in why women suppress anger✔️ The rage-shame cycle and why it’s so hard to break✔️ Why we lash out at our partners (um.. it’s not actually always their fault… mostly)✔️ How to recognise the early warning signs before you explode 🔑 Key Takeaway: Mum rage doesn’t mean you’re a bad mum—it means you’re overwhelmed, overstimulated, and probably undersupported.
