Summary: It's 11pm. You have to be up at 6. And somehow your thumb just won't stop scrolling. Sound familiar? You're definitely not alone. And more importantly, this isn’t a willpower problem. In this episode, we talk about what's really going on when you can't put your phone down at night, and why the ADHD brain is especially vulnerable to this.

What you'll learn:

• Why your brain is practically starving for dopamine by the time night rolls around
• Why your environment might be more to blame than you are
• Simple ways to make your phone harder to reach at night (including one client's hilarious solution)
• How to find a nighttime wind-down that actually feels as good as scrolling

If you've ever told yourself you'd stop and then looked up and it was 1am, this one's for you. We're going to figure out what you're really craving at night and how to actually give yourself that.

Ever turned down a promotion and wondered if you made a mistake? Or watched a colleague "lean in" and felt guilty for not wanting the same thing? If yes, you've been carrying career guilt — and it's more common than you think. In this episode, we talk about what career guilt really is, why working moms feel it no matter what they choose, and how to finally let it go.

What you'll learn:

• Why there's no one-size-fits-all answer to career ambition — and why that's actually good news
• The concept of career seasons, and how knowing which one you're in changes everything
• Why staying put, leaning out, or turning down the promotion can be the smartest move you make

If you're second-guessing your career decisions, feeling judged for wanting more (or wanting less), or exhausted by the pressure to always be climbing, this episode will help you figure out what season you're actually in — and give you permission to own it.

Ever wonder why you can nail that big presentation at work but completely lose it during your kid's meltdown at pickup? You're not alone.

In this episode, we dive into the exhausting reality of being two different people—the polished professional at work and the depleted parent at home. If you've ever felt like you're killing it at the office only to fall apart the moment you walk through your front door, this one's for you.

We explore why home can actually be harder than work (yes, really), how ADHD makes this split even more challenging, and most importantly, what you can actually do about it. Spoiler: the answer might be simpler than you think, but it's something we resist.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• Why executive functioning skills are often MORE taxing at home than at work
• The one thing your brain is desperately craving (and why you feel guilty about it)
• Simple transition rituals to help you shift from work mode to home mode
• How to stop comparing "work you" to "home you"—and why that comparison is unfair

If you're tired of using up all your nice words at work and having nothing left for your kids, this episode will help you understand why it happens and give you practical strategies to change it.

Laundry piles aren’t just about laundry. For many working moms, especially those who are neurodivergent or have ADHD, unfinished to-dos carry emotional weight, guilt, and harsh self-talk that quietly drain your energy. In this episode, we explore why undone tasks feel so heavy and how everyday clutter often becomes a symbol for overwhelm, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.

This conversation isn’t about fixing your house or getting everything done. It’s about understanding the emotional charge behind unfinished to-dos and learning how to release the judgment that makes even small tasks feel exhausting.

What you’ll learn:

• Why laundry piles and undone to-dos often trigger shame and self-criticism
• How ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience clutter differently
• Why unfinished tasks can feel emotionally overwhelming, not just inconvenient
• How guilt and unrealistic standards make it harder to get things done
• A more compassionate way to think about to-dos without tying them to your worth

If you feel weighed down by clutter, undone tasks, or the constant feeling that you’re behind, this episode offers relief, perspective, and permission to be gentler with yourself. Because laundry is just laundry and you are not defined by what’s left on your to-do list.
