We are Gen and Claire. We’re two best friends with ADHD and we both have kids, and we’re here to share our experiences, with an aim to crush the isolation of social stigma that surrounds our struggles. We have both had our own diagnosis journeys, involving a lot of research and self-education, and we will continue this in our podcast, sharing what we find with you! As friends, we are really honest, and we share the highs and lows of parenting with our ADHD brains. We both have ever-changing family routines and challenges, with neurodivergent kids, and homes to run. We struggle with executive dysfunction, clutter and chaos, overstimulation and Mum guilt, but we also ride our hyperactive highs together. There is a lot of laughter, and celebrating of even the tiniest wins.We’ve all heard that saying about it taking a village to raise a child but most of us don’t have access to that any more. As single mums we are lucky to consider each other chosen family, and we are intent on creating a vibrant community and support network for mums like us.We are both AFAB people and we’re biological mums, but all mums are welcome here. In fact all parents, all people with ADHD, all people interested in ADHD...Actually all humans are welcome. And not to be speciesist; your pets can listen too!Trigger warning though - we will be discussing sensitive issues and we will use bad language, so the podcast won’t be suitable for all listeners. Please check the show notes for specific triggers. Lately you might have noticed there’s a been quite a bit of ableist and stigamitising rhetoric in the media about people with ADHD. Well we want to come out loud and proud about who we are and help end that stigma for us and for you. We’re not faking, we’re not lazy, we’re not lesser, we’re not going to suddenly become neurotypical by buying a planner, folding our clothes in a new way or just trying harder! We are hoping that in turn we can learn from you. We’ll be asking you to share your stories, experiences and tips about any of the topics that we cover. Let’s face it if anybody has found any ADHD Mum hacks we all want to know about them. In each episode we’ll take a closer look at a different specific area of ADHD, from our unique perspective as Mums. We aren't claiming to be experts, we just speak from our own lived experience, beliefs and opinions, and we'd love you to join us for the ride!Raise a fist and say it with us: SISTERS IN CHAOS!!!
