Description
Real talk from two ADHD mums in the thick of parenting, chaos, and clutter. Gen and Claire share honest highs and lows of neuro-divergent life. We are Mums, but you don't have to be to listen!
We share real, unfiltered stories about parenting, neurodivergence, and daily struggles like executive dysfunction, disorganisation, overstimulation, and Mum guilt. We also celebrate the wins—big or small—with honesty and laughter.
We're both AFAB and biological mums, but this space is for all parents, ADHDers, curious minds, and —even your pets. Everyone’s welcome.
We do swear though, so you probably need headphones if there's kids around!

We record from Claire's hospital bed and unpack a rat scare. From wellies and curtain rods to humane traps and boundaries, we find practical ways to cope when chaos shows up. • bedside check‑in and mood reset • scratching sounds and sensory detail • pumpkins, boxes, and the freeze response • improvised plan with wellies and a curtain rod • no rat found and what that means • humane traps, repellents, and ethics • clutter, ADHD, and hidden risks • spiders, boundaries, and tolerance at home • h...
Two ADHD mums trade stories of Christmas joy and discomfort, from lost presents and hangovers to noisy rooms, politics at the table, and the ache of watching global tragedy on a festive night.
