Parenting with ADHD with Danielle Elliot

In this episode, Tara chats with Danielle Elliot, podcast host of Climbing the Walls, about what it’s really like parenting with ADHD—especially when you’re a mom who wasn’t diagnosed until adulthood. Danielle shares her journey of navigating a late diagnosis, the impact it’s had on her relationships, work, and motherhood, and how the pandemic played a role in the recent surge of ADHD awareness. They talk about everything from fertility struggles and postpartum anxiety to the overwhelming expectations modern moms face, like being constantly “on” for everyone. Danielle opens up about the systems and self-care routines that help her manage ADHD, the importance of understanding rejection sensitivity, and how hormonal shifts can make symptoms even trickier to handle. This conversation is a reminder that ADHD looks different in women, and with more awareness, resources, and grace, moms can feel less alone—and more empowered.
