No one pushes your buttons like your kids or partner can! Angry moms unite!
Jokes aside, when anger gets out of hand, nothing good happens. Not only do we hurt ourselves and the people around us, the shame and guilt add on even more weight.
This was a huge problem for me for the first few years of parenting. I still yell sometimes cuz I’m not perfect. You can be free of the angry red eyed monster, too.
How can you tell you’re about to lose your cool?
What can you stop taking your anger out on your family?
How can you show up as the caring, calm mom you want to be?
Let’s discuss.

Do your deep thoughts turn in to thought spirals?
Today we’re talking about rumination: what it is, when it’s a problem, and what to do when your thoughts turn anxious, negative, or obsessive.
I used to spend a lot of my energy what if-ing, worrying, and planning for the 37 possibilities that could possibly occur. If this is you, too, you don’t have to stay in that thought prison!
Let’s talk about how rumination interplays with ADHD, how to use it for your good, and what to do when it turns into a problem.
Work with Patricia to get unstuck, exceed your goals, and be happy with ADHD.

Sad, mad, annoyed, happy, sad, crying, mad, tired. All within an hour!
While hormones may be invisible to us, they sure do wreak havoc on our lives!
Linda is here to teach us what's going on inside that drives our mood and energy in more ways than we can count.
For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.
Today’s guest is Linda Roggli.
Linda is a professional ADHD coach for ADHD women 40-and-better, a retreat facilitator, organizing expert and award-winning author. She created and hosts the annual online ADHD Women's Palooza and the ADHD Couple's Palooza. Her book, "Confessions of an ADDiva: Midlife in the Non-linear Lane" won first prize for women's issues in the prestigious Next Generation Independent book awards. She is former vice president of ADDA and continues to host its webinar series. She lives and works under the pine trees of the Piedmont of North Carolina with four ADHD Shelties, one cat formerly known as feral and one OCD husband, plus 13 cackling chickens.
In this episode, Linda and I discuss the intricacies of hormone production and fluctuations, and what it means for our daily lives. She explains what's going on during perimenopause and menopause to shed some light on this rarely discussed topic that affects everyone with ovaries. (That's a lot of people for something we don't talk about enough!)
Let’s jump into a much-needed discussion on estrogen levels and how they affect your ADHD from puberty to menopause, so you can live well as a woman with ADHD.

Parenting with ADHD for ADHD is difficult. I mess it up a lot. I apologize a lot. I’m working on it. And I bet you are, too.
For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week. Today’s episode holds conflict resolution skills for our parenting tool belts.
Our guest, Dr. Tamara Rosier, is founder of the ADHD Center of West Michigan, where she and her staff work with individuals with ADHD (and their families) to learn strategies and develop new skills to live effectively with ADHD. Dr. Rosier is also the president of the ADHD Coaches Organization. She is a popular conference and keynote speaker, is a frequent guest on podcasts, and has published numerous articles about living with ADHD. She lives in West Michigan.
In this episode, Dr. Rosier and I talk about different types of thinking, finishing big projects, how we can use our strengths to be most efficient, and where we can ask for help to make our lives easier. We dive into her new book, You, Me, and our ADHD Family, and she shares some great tips on resolving conflict in ADHD families.
Let’s chat about parenting with Tamara as we dive into parenting strengths and nurturing relationships over tasks for a happier ADHD family.

***Note that today’s episode is not for little ears, so grab your headphones or listen away from the kids.
Intimacy is more than what happens in the bedroom. When things are not going well in the bedroom, it shows up in everyday life too.
Relationship problems fester when ignored, seeping into the way you and your partner prioritize each other and communicate in your relationship. Throw ADHD in the mix and you’ve got advanced relationship needs, too.
For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.
Today’s guest is Ari Tuckman, PsyD, a psychologist, author, international presenter and ADHD thought leader. He has been widely quoted in media and has appeared on countless podcasts. He is the conference committee co-chair CHADD. He is the author of “ADHD After Dark: Better Sex Life, Better Relationship”
In this episode, Dr. Tuckman and I discuss frequent struggles in ADHD relationships, including awkward conversations about intimacy, and where you might struggle with communication. We talk about real life solutions and suggestions on how to stay connected and prioritize your relationship.
You’re certainly not alone in these relationship struggles.
Let’s jump into a much-needed conversation about how to keep your romantic partnership strong in the trying stages of life and be present in the little moments that matter, so that you can both work toward a lasting and fulfilling relationship for both partners.

Parenting a child with ADHD or neurodiversity brings many challenges and stresses, but connecting with other parents going through similar experiences can help you feel less isolated and lonely.
How can you best support both your ADHD child and yourself?
For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.
Today’s guest is IngerShaye Colzie, MSW, LSW. IngerShaye provides executive ADHD coaching, individualized coaching and group coaching. In private sessions she creates a partnership tailored to your specific needs and goals, providing dedicated support and guidance. Within group sessions, she provides a safe space for black women to gain access to resources while connecting with the ADHD community.
In this episode, IngerShaye and I discuss viewing parenting from the perspective of after your ADHD child reaches young adulthood. She’s sharing her hard-earned wisdom from twenty years of parenting on what truly matters and how we can do our best when we’re in the thick of it.
IngerShaye talks about navigating the balancing act of setting expectations and providing structure, while also giving children autonomy and allowing them to learn from mistakes.
Join us in a much needed conversation about advocating for your child in school and how you can be less hard on yourself as you do your best to take care of your children.
Making memories is just as important as all of the other things we do as parents. Let’s not forget to enjoy the ride, too.

You're not imagining it.
Your ADHD symptoms can change as you age.
ADHD in older adults can be very different than when you were younger and it's definitely not researched enough yet!
You don't need to qualify as a senior citizen before your age affects your ADHD, so youngin’s and elders alike, let's listen in.
For ADHD Awareness Month, we’re talking to a new ADHD guest expert every week.
Today’s guest is David W. Goodman, M.D., an expert in ADHD in older adults.
David W. Goodman, M.D. is Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Norton School of Medicine, State University of New York-Upstate. An internationally recognized expert, he has presented over 750 lectures to medical specialists, authored peer-reviewed scientific papers, conducted clinical research on several of the ADHD medications now on the market, serves as a consultant to the NFL, widely quoted in national media, teaches 4th-year psychiatric residents at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and serves on the executive committee of APSARD (American Professional Society for ADHD and Related Disorders).
In this episode, Dr. Goodman shares a great refresher on the basics of ADHD and how to determine if you've met with a qualified diagnostician to get your ADHD assessment. He dives into the nuances of how ADHD can be confused with other disorders, conditions, and comorbidities. Then we uncover how ADHD can change through your lifespan and how hormonal shifts in perimenopause and menopause affect your ADHD symptoms.
I'm also over the moon that Dr. Goodman is currently working with his fellow experts to redefine the symptoms checklist for ADHD diagnoses in adults.
Let’s dive into a much-needed conversation about how you change over your lifetime, as we look at ADHD in older adults and perimenopause.

When you go to a party, no matter the occasion or fanciness level, people often gravitate towards the kitchen.
They circle up near the host at the grill or around the kitchen island, chatting while leaning against the counter and snacking on crackers. Even when they could be sitting in a comfy chair, people gravitate towards the heartbeat of the party. The kitchen.
This is how I want my community to feel… casually hanging around the kitchen counter, with snacks and drinks. Come and go as you please. Showing up as yourself, in whatever you’re wearing that day. No pressure.
I want you to feel like someone is taking care of you. Guiding you. Feeding you snacks and cleaning them up. Giving you a big hug when you walk in and out the door.
(Because honestly, I’m pretty peeved you’re not getting the care you deserve.)
Having YOUR people in your corner is more than a nicety. It gives you sturdiness and stability. It’s self-care for tired moms.
You’re invited to hangout around my kitchen island, figuratively speaking.
Join us in creating a space where you can be you, laugh, talk, and even let out a mom sigh or two, because we've all been there. Plus, you'll get to enjoy activities like body doubling and small group discussions where you can find the peas for your pod. You don’t have to juggle everything, including the mental load, on your own.
It’s been so good for the moms (and me, too!) and I want you to come too!
Our Successful Mama Meetup community meets every Wednesday on Zoom. Come hang out!
Join our next Open House by signing up here and I’ll email you the invite: patriciasung.com/openhouse
It’s totally free to try out.
So, grab your earbuds and tune in to find out how we're making Successful Mama Meetups the support system you didn't know you needed—but definitely deserve.

There is a 50-75% chance that your child will have ADHD when you, their parent, have ADHD.
That means everything multiplies exponentially - both the struggles and the wins! Parenting is already a tough job, and ADHD adds extra flavor, spunk, and responsibility onto both our and our kids’ plates.
How can we raise our ADHD children well?
Meet Tracy Otsuka, author & host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast & book.
Tracy Otsuka, JD, is a certified ADHD coach and the host of the ADHD for Smart Ass Women podcast. Over the past decade, she has empowered thousands of clients (from doctors and therapists to C-suite executives and entrepreneurs) to see their neurodivergence as a strength–not a weakness. Tracy leverages her analytical skills from being a lead counsel at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to identify the right questions to ask her clients so they can boost their productivity, improve their finances, save failing relationships and live happier lives.
Tracy’s expertise and experience as an adult living with ADHD are regularly sought out by top tier media including Inc, Forbes, ADDitude magazine, and The Goal Digger Podcast. When she’s not sharing her thought leadership around ADHD on other platforms, she hosts her own podcast which ranks #1 in its category and has over 5 million downloads across 160 countries. She also moderates a Facebook group with nearly 100,000 members. A married mother of two, Tracy lives in Sonoma County outside of San Francisco.
We’re often told that people who have degrees or do well in school couldn’t possibly have ADHD. Giant Eye Roll!
While Tracy excelled in school, including a law degree, but it wasn’t until she was late-diagnosed with ADHD that she knew it was because she worked harder than everyone else and implemented some serious organization and structure.
Today we’re discussing how both Tracy and her son Marcus struggled with undiagnosed ADHD and dyslexia in school, affecting their grades and confidence. Tracy focused on supporting Marcus' interests and passions rather than grades, which helped him get into NYU and find his path to success.
Tracy also shares her hard-earned wisdom around communication, understanding strengths and weaknesses, and not passing on generational trauma to her children as part of how her family is able to manage 3 of 4 members having ADHD.
With both her son and daughter reaching young adulthood, Tracy is on the other side of motherhood as an empty nester and is shining a light on what truly matters as you raise your ADHD kids well.

Feeling like your body is staging a mutiny? Join the club!
I’ve been dealing with autoimmune issues for over a decade.
The majority of my clients also have autoimmune and chronic health issues, from chronic fatigue, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, to arthritis… the list goes on. I don’t think that’s a coincidence!
It’s not just the physical toll that illness takes on you, but also the mental battle. I grappled often with the impact my health had on my parenting.
While I’m sharing a lot of my struggles today, it’s not a whine-fest. I’m also sharing insights on how I see the relationship between autoimmune issues, inflammation, and ADHD. Plus, I’m dishing what has helped me lower my stress levels and take care of myself so that I could take care of my family as best I could, even when all I had were scraps.
Self-care isn't selfish; it's a lifeline for the whole family.
Although I can’t heal you with my words, I hope to provide an empathetic space and support, shedding light on the intricate dance of health, stress, and parenting with chronic illness.
You’re not alone, Successful Mama.
Disclaimer: I am not a medical doctor. This is not medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team for specifics on your individual care. I'm sharing my own experience with autoimmune disease and working with others who also have ADHD and chronic illness.

To celebrate, I hosted a live Q&A podcast episode last month and here it is…
You all asked some amazing questions! You shared your hearts and experiences. It was a beautiful time together.
You had me reflecting on my podcasting journey and the last 5 years, from overcoming self-doubt to reaching a million downloads, and the importance of staying true to myself and my values.
We talked about some of the challenges of motherhood with ADHD and several moms jumped in and encouraged each other, reminding you to embrace your values, individuality, and creative parenting. Throughout the episode, you all bring up your own experiences, from struggles with remembering goals due to ADHD, to the challenges of meeting a child's needs and the pressure to do it all, perfectly.
This conversation focuses on finding balance, trusting yourself, and the inevitable learning process of parenting. Honestly, it felt like a big friendship hug. I really appreciate you so, so much. I never would have arrived here without you, and I adore you more than words can express. Hanging out with you makes my heart happy and full.
Thank you for joining me on this incredible journey to help as many moms with ADHD as possible! Now let’s go help thousands more moms! Send this episode to a friend.

Meet my friend Allison Jordan, host of The Better Belly Podcast. In this episode, Allison and I chat about the basics of ADHD in women, gut health in relation to ADHD, and how to make the little habits easier, like taking your supplements or eating meals regularly.
Allison shares:
As you guys know, we are currently in an ADHD series on the Better Belly Podcast. And I thought, what better way to do an ADHD series than to have an expert on supporting women with ADHD onto the podcast?
Patricia Sung is the host of the Motherhood in ADHD Podcast, a Top 5 Parenting podcast, that encourages mamas with ADHD or suspected ADHD with practical strategies and relatable missteps. Patricia is a hobby-hopping, anxious adventurer, willing to try almost anything once.
On today's episode, we talk about what ADHD is, why ADHD can look so different in women than men, common signs that you have ADHD, common signs of ADHD that often get overlooked, and Patricia's top tips on how to incorporate new goals into your life, such as taking vitamins regularly or changing your diet, when you have ADHD.

Meet my friend Bethany Lovern, host of Breastfeeding Relief with Bethany. In this episode, Bethany and I chat about struggles as a new mom, including breastfeeding, Postpartum Depression (PPD), Postpartum Anxiety (PPA), and Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex or D-MER.
Bethany shares:
In this episode, Patricia discusses how she struggled with her ADHD symptoms after becoming a mom, leading to sleepless nights spent searching for support online. Though initially unwilling, she was later prompted by her faith to start a podcast supporting moms with ADHD.
Patricia and I chat about our personal experiences with postpartum depression and anxiety. We also delve into Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER), which is described as a sudden mood change when milk lets down. I share how, as a first-time mom, I constantly tracked feedings, sleep and milestones, worrying over my son’s well-being. We both emphasize the need for finding community for shared struggles, whether online or in-person. Patricia invites you to connect with her podcast and community at motherhoodinADHD.com.
