Patricia Sung [00:00:02]:
Are you overwhelmed by motherhood and barely keeping your head above water? Are you confused and frustrated by how all the other moms make it look so easy? You can't figure out how to manage the chaos in your mind, your home, or your family. I get you, mama. Parenting with ADHD is hard. Here is your permission slip to let go of the Pinterest worthy visions of organization and structure fit for everyone else. Let's do life like our brains do life, creatively, lovingly, and with all our might. When we embrace who we are and how our brains work, we can figure out how to live our lives successfully, and in turn, lead our families well. At the end of the day, we just wanna be good moms. But, spoiler alert, you are already a great mom.
Patricia Sung [00:00:52]:
ADHD does not mean you're doomed to be a hot mess mama. You can rewrite your story from shame spiral to success story, and I'll be right here beside you to cheer you on. Welcome to Motherhood in ADHD. Hey there, successful mama. It's your friend, Patricia Sung. I have exciting news. I am writing a book. I never thought I would say that.
Patricia Sung [00:01:17]:
I think back to them, like, you know what? Little Patricia did really like reading and writing. Like, really, really loved reading. And I and I did love writing, but I never aspired to be a writer. I try to think of, like, you know, you fill out those things with your kid, like, what do you want me to be when you grow up? I'm like, did I ever say an author? I may have. I quite often said a teacher, and I wanted to be a marine biologist. I actually almost went to school for marine biology. I changed my mind at the last minute because I got worried that was too pigeonhol y. You know, it's very ADHD of me.
Patricia Sung [00:01:44]:
Be like, oh my gosh. You doing just do, like, one thing forever. Just so he say, but he was curious. And exhibit number 752, I have ADHD. So here's the deal. I want you to come along with me on this journey on my website. I've got a new page patricia sun.comforward/book, and I want you to go fill in the form. And there's three reasons.
Patricia Sung [00:02:05]:
1, I want your help. I wanna know what you want to see in this book. I want your opinion. I want your thoughts. I want to know, like, what do you actually need to know? I'm gonna tell you about the book in a sec. Hold on. Number 2, I'm gonna need some beta readers. I need people to read it and be like, Patricia, this is garbage or Patricia, this is fabulous, and help me figure out, like, where the editing needs to come in.
Patricia Sung [00:02:27]:
And y'all know I can be wordy. I might need some help. Patricia, this is too much. Cut that out. And number 3, if you just wanna, like, follow along. I've never written a book. I don't know anything about writing books. I'm gonna have to learn a whole bunch of stuff along the way.
Patricia Sung [00:02:39]:
So if you just wanna know, like, how is this lady who has 2 small kids going to write a book while balancing 2 companies and being a mom and hopefully my sanity still intact, like, come find out. I'm going to update you regularly over the next few months on how it's going. And if you wanna know more, go fill that form. You find out what am I doing? How's it going? It also hold me accountable. I guess that's number 4. It holds me accountable to actually get this done. I think that's why I always shy away from speaking my goals out loud and telling other people is because like, well, what if I change my mind? I don't wanna look like I'm stupid because I changed my mind, and I've learned that it's not. It is sort of okay for me to change my mind.
Patricia Sung [00:03:21]:
It does not make me wishy washy. It means that I know, like, what I want and I'm following it. And sometimes you start something and realize, oh, this was not for me. But I know that this book is gonna happen because I've never aspired to be a writer. I've never aspired to, like, have a publisher or get a book deal. Like, I know that this is not a Patricia goal. This is something that God is asking me to do, and, you know, I try real hard to listen. Sometimes I can be stubborn.
Patricia Sung [00:03:49]:
And, I mean, I definitely, at first, when I thought that was the message I was getting, like, write a book. I was like, oh, I mean, I don't wanna write a book. That's so long. I was speaking to a publisher, and she was like, it's probably gonna be like a 2 year process. I was like, 2 years to write a book. It's not taking long 2 year to write a book. Like, do you know what I have to say? It's gonna take 2 years. And then she explained the whole process, and I was like, oh, dang.
Patricia Sung [00:04:09]:
That's 2 years. What? But here we are. Like, I am trying to discern all of this out. Like, what's the best methodology here? I had thought about writing a book probably like a year or 2 ago. And I was thinking about it more from this space of, like, how do I reach the most moms possible? And I knew that a book would do that, but I really thought of a book as, like, a 2027 project, a future thing. Because it feels like such a big endeavor, I'm like, oh, like, I need I need some time. This just doesn't feel like something that is meant for moms of small children. And I'd realized, like, for a while, I was like, You know? Because I keep seeing, like, other people with books and people who I you know? And the people that have been here on the podcast, like, Tracy Atsuka's book came out a few months back, and Tamara Rosier has several books that like, your brain's not broken.
Patricia Sung [00:05:01]:
I love that book. And I was looking at all of these people in the ADHD space who were doing this, and I was like, wow. Really? I guess I need to read a book. And then I realized it was kind of like this comparison thing of like, well, I didn't really have the heart to write the book. So that's how I became like, Oh, that's like a 20 27 project. You don't wanna have all that free time that never comes like, that's when I write a book. And then I started to notice like, Oh, my gosh, Patricia, you're comparing yourself to all these people who have written books and, like, they all have older kids. They don't have little kids.
Patricia Sung [00:05:27]:
Like, Mary Van Geffen, who has been on the podcast as well. She just finished her book. And I'm, like, well, I think all these moms who have older kids must have more free time than me. So that's how I was able to be like, you know what? That's like a 2027 project, 2028, maybe 2030, when my kids are bigger. I'll have time to write a book. And I also thought like, you know what? My kids are so young, like, do I really can I really write about parenting experience if my kids aren't that old yet? Like, shouldn't we be listening to the parents who have already, like, gone through the full 18 years before we start spouting, you know, over knowledge? Shouldn't I have more experience first? Then now keep in mind that when this episode comes out, it will just be my oldest 10th birthday. So technically, I got a decade experience here. And also, like, my teaching background of having taught middle school and high school.
Patricia Sung [00:06:14]:
And I was like, you know what, Patricia, I think you're just making a lot of excuses of why, like, not excuses. It was like the imposter syndrome was coming in. And then I would find the reasons where the imposter syndrome was correct. And I always had another reason of like, this is just is not the right time. But about 2 months ago, a publisher reached out to me and said, we're looking for someone to write a book on parenting with ADHD, and we're wondering if you're interested. And I was like, obviously, I do not have time to write a book, but helmet tongue. And I said, yes. I'd love to chat with you.
Patricia Sung [00:06:45]:
When can we meet? And I had a really great chat with the editor at the publishing company. And now I'm trying to figure out what does this look like. I have mentioned before, like, our life has really shifted in the last couple of months. My husband has gone from working from home to being in an office job. I can't even say it's like an 8 to 5. Like, he leaves a letter after 7. Sometimes he's not coming home until pretty late in the evenings. It's a big shift in responsibility.
Patricia Sung [00:07:08]:
He's got a team under him and it's a great fit for him, but it's a big shift in how our family runs. At the same time, one of my assistants here in the motherhood and ADHD team said she needed to step back to less responsibility because she had some stuff going on with her family, which is truly understandable, so I have less help at work. And also, our nanny of 10 years is moving on to another family with a newborn. And this woman who has been, like, my support system for the last 10 years, because we don't have family support here in town. You know, if you've been here a hot minute, you know, my mom passed away a long time ago. It's actually been 20 years, last month. My dad is not a caretakery kind of grandpa. My mother-in-law has Alzheimer's, and so my father-in-law is her full time caregiver.
Patricia Sung [00:07:58]:
Like, most of my siblings are either, like, an hour away with traffic or more. So we don't have family to, like, step in and help. So our nanny has been our family support system for the last 10 years. She's my right hand. She was helping me here with the motherhood and ADHD stuff as well. She's the one who was posting the podcast. Like, she was my all around right hand lady. And I'm gonna miss her so much.
Patricia Sung [00:08:29]:
And I'm gonna try not to get too sound here. But so we've had all the shifts in our family and in my work. And all of a sudden, things are really different. So I had to cut a lot of stuff out that I'm like, I just can't do everything in this next phase. So it was really sad. Like I closed successful mama meetups at the end of the year last year, which I loved. And yet, I knew I had to let go of good things in order for great things. And at the time, I didn't understand.
Patricia Sung [00:08:56]:
I was real mad. I'm a be honest. I was real mad. But I listened and I cut back. So that when this book showed up, I was like, oh, you know what? I still don't have time to write a book, but I have significantly less on my plate. So I've already cut a bunch of stuff. I guess I could just cut a few more things. Great.
Patricia Sung [00:09:13]:
Lovely. 2 thumbs down. I don't like this. Okay. We're just gonna do it anyway. Okay. Come on, Patricia. We can figure this out.
Patricia Sung [00:09:19]:
And shifted so much of my life around right now. Like, oh, this transition has been really uncomfortable. Now I'm out of book in the mix, just, you know, to keep it colorful. But I know it's the right thing because if I hadn't made all those shifts throughout the fall, as my team was changing and as my husband's job was changing, I wouldn't have had capacity to even entertain this idea because I was trying to do too many things at once. There is no way I could have added more on, but that's part of the process. But when you wanna do something that's really important to you, sometimes you have to say no to other things in order to have space to do the yes that really matters. And I want to let you into this process to see, like, man, this isn't easy. It's not going to be easy to write a book while running 2 businesses and be the primary parent at home and also write a book.
Patricia Sung [00:10:05]:
But I know this is the right answer, and I knew that I needed to do this because I had been on a recent kick of looking for books that were written by women or minorities or women minorities. And I just knew, like, I cannot read another productivity book by another old white dude. I just can't. Because he's also probably neurotypical or he has ADHD and doesn't know it or doesn't realize all the supports he has in his life. And I'm not saying that old white dudes don't struggle. I'm sure they do. Everybody struggles. Like I want to read books from people who are more like me.
Patricia Sung [00:10:42]:
Like I want to read parenting advice from like the mom of 4 who's in the thick of it and like homeschooling your kids and also like has a goat farm and teaches yoga like the mom who's doing it all. I want her advice, like, not to say that you do it all, you probably need to drop few things. But if you have HD, you're probably doing a lot of things. And, like, I want advice from the person who's in the thick of it. But yet, like, does the mom of 4 who's doing all that stuff have time and capacity to write a book? No. She doesn't. But that's the person I want the advice from. Like, I want leadership advice from a woman of color CEO because she knows what it's like to push through when people don't think you can, which I'm obviously not a woman of color, but, like, I I want that advice.
Patricia Sung [00:11:32]:
I want the person who really gets it. Because even though I'm not a woman of color, like, there's other struggles that I deal with. Like, I want advice from someone who has actually struggled and has that empathy, which, like, maybe it's not quite the direct translation, but, like, someone who struggled is gonna give advice that fits better for someone else who struggled. I want advice from women because they understand what it's like to try to lead, but also being socialized as a woman to, like, make sure that everybody is okay and putting everyone else's needs above their own and, like, that people pleasing that has to be overcome. Like, that's the kind of advice I want. I want business advice from the mom who built the business with a 3 year old at her feet or while trying to juggle her autistic child. Like, I want advice from people whose struggles look more like mine. Because so much of the advice out there does not take into account the privilege that that person has.
Patricia Sung [00:12:34]:
And in that case, adorance is not bliss. Like, I want to write and share realistic advice that includes the roles that you have, the caretaking that you do, the health struggles that you're dealing with, the disabilities and mental health things that you're dealing with. Like, I want advice that includes all that, and I want my advice, like, to be as close to that as I can. And I'm very aware of the privilege I have as a white person, especially as a white woman. So I'm gonna have to do some extra work in making sure that I have people who are different than me read this book and make sure it's not like, oh gosh, Patricia, you totally missed the mark there. Like, I want that privilege to be accounted for. And that's what I see when I was reading, like, book after book from old white dudes was, like, they don't acknowledge the privilege that they have. Like, I'm not saying that your advice isn't good, but, like, it doesn't include the full picture.
Patricia Sung [00:13:33]:
It's almost time, mama. We are in the final stages of planning our fall ADHD luxury moms retreat and getaway weekend. You deserve deserve a weekend to step away, slow down, take care of yourself, and also meet a bunch of other ADHD moms who get how you think.

Put your name on the list, and we'll let you know as soon as the early bird tickets are ready. Now you know it's gonna be a great time, especially since half the moms who came last year have already signed up for this year. So come join us. Spend the weekend building up your toolbox to take care of you and taking a deep breath to relax and enjoy the calm of a weekend away.
Patricia Sung [00:14:25]:
Patriciasung.com/retreat-waitlist . The other day, I was listening to an interview of someone who falls in, like, the bro marketing category. And, like, generally speaking, I don't do it because I just get annoyed, which is what happened. But I was following the guy interviewing, and he had this other white dude on his show. And a few minutes into the episode, he was like, well, you have the same amount of time as Warren Buffett. And I was like, oh, good to god. Here we go again. I have a whole episode ranting on that.
Patricia Sung [00:14:58]:
I'm a try to remember to link in the show notes. But, like, I'm just a sucker for time management podcast, and I thought this won't be good. And this guy starts I definitely learned a couple things. But I almost turned it off when he said that, because the time is not the only piece of the puzzle. So if you've ever worked in project management, there's a thing called, like, the project management triangle, where on the 44, there's only 3, 3 corners of a triangle. There's time, cost, and scope. In the middle is your quality. If you ever heard the saying, like, good, fast, cheap, choose 2, you can't have a project that can also it's fast and it was cheap and it came out really well and detailed.
Patricia Sung [00:15:37]:
Like, that's not possible. If you want something that's very detailed, but you want it to be cheap, it's probably gonna take a long time. If you want that same project done, but quickly, it's gonna cost you more. So there's always this give and take between these three items in the triangle. The cost, the, like, the resources available. Right? There that are being used, the time and the scope of the project, how complicated it is. So when people say, well, you have the same hours in the day as everyone else. It's like, okay.
Patricia Sung [00:16:05]:
I understand that I have 24 hours in a day just like Beyonce and Oprah and Warren Buffett. But the resources that I have are different. Your resources are going to be different. It's not just the money. It's also your socioeconomic, your culture, your privilege, where you live? Do you have family help available? Like, there's so many different resources that are available, and then you have the scope. And I look at this like, if you have, you know, a 2 year old and a newborn, the scope of your job is very different than if you're dealing with 2 teenagers. It's different work. It's different time commitments.
Patricia Sung [00:16:45]:
Like bigger kids, bigger problems is what what what the moms who've been through this before say, like, the presents get smaller, but the cost goes up. Like, things are different. It's a different scope of project when you were parenting teenagers versus little kids or you got both at the same time. That's a whole other juggling act. But the old white dude whose kids are already grown ups and, like, never made a lunchbox in his life, his advice is different. This for different people than the mom who's trying to type while someone plays with her shoelaces and says, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, the whole time she's trying to do something. It's a different scope. And so in listening to this podcast, I was like, I cannot wait any longer to write this book because I want my book to share advice for moms with ADHD that can be spread far and wide that's realistic, that actually takes into account what you are dealing with.
Patricia Sung [00:17:42]:
Because somebody who has a chronic illness, their triangle looks very different than a healthy person. I did not understand the luxury that is full health until I almost died. Having a fully functioning body is a luxury and a privilege. How much stuff you can do when your body just does stuff, when you don't have to will yourself out of bed every morning, when you don't have multiple doctor's appointments and food restrictions and having to do special meals. Like, that's such a drain on your resources. And, like, you're gonna do it because it's important because you wanna be alive, but that makes your project management triangle very different. So this is the kind of book I wanna write. So the time is now.
Patricia Sung [00:18:24]:
Now I gotta write this book. I got fired up about it, and it's not a 2030 project anymore. It's a now project. So what does that look like as a now project? It means I'm focusing from my business standpoint on my coaching. I have a few one on one spots available. I've got rooted group coaching going and I've cut everything else. The podcast, I'm gonna do 2 a month until I get the book. I keep saying until I have the first draft done.
Patricia Sung [00:18:49]:
I'm like, I don't really know what happens after that. So who knows? Maybe I'll have to do it a little longer. But for the next few months, I'm gonna do 2 episodes a month. I still have all my courses available. So if you wanna do time management mastery, or daily planning, or morning routines for ADHD moms or the ADHD energy recharge. Oh, last week was the ADHD anti anxiety workshop. Like, those are all still available for you, but I'm really simplifying what I'm doing. I have a rule of myself that I'm only allowed to do one event a month because it actually sat down and timed myself on how long it takes to put together everything for an event.
Patricia Sung [00:19:23]:
And it's, like, 5 to 6 hours per event. I had no idea because I have no time sense. I didn't know that. So I'm allowed to do one event a month. That's it. So I'm taking down my responsibilities to just the most important things, the podcast and my clients. Because I'm also getting all of my work done, it has to be done during school hours. So I don't have anything that happens after 2 PM because now I'm on mom mode.
Patricia Sung [00:19:46]:
And I also do my best not to work in the evenings so that I can spend time with my husband or with friends. And that's a hard one for me because I'm a night owl, and I really like, you know, I get a lot done between, like, 10 PM and 1 AM. But when you gotta be up at by 6 for elementary school, can't be saying up to 1 AM. And I'm prioritizing my health. I've been moving, doing 2 classes a week at a new gym, and I started in December, so I wouldn't be one of those January just, gym people because, you know, don't tell me what to do. I don't start things January 1st. I started them in December. Thank you very much.
Patricia Sung [00:20:19]:
But I make sure that I'm in bed by midnight, preferably. Keep moving that time forward, so I'm getting more sleep. I'm lifting weights even though my body is literally yelling at me today. I'm like, and I'm having to take it really easy because I did so much physical therapy when I was sick. I know exactly how to move to keep my body safe. But I feel like kinda like a weenie sometimes, and I'm like, just over here with my 8 pound weights. And then I got this, like, you know, somebody who's probably half my age with the 30 pound weights over here. But that's okay.
Patricia Sung [00:20:46]:
Like, I've made a lot of progress, and I really don't care. I'm gonna, like, bless your heart, sweet little 20 year old wearing the makeup at the gym, or the dude who likes busy watching his muscles in the mirror. Like, I'm I'm over 40 now. I'm just like, I just I wanna be healthy. I wanna be able to move on a maybe. I don't need to look cute at the gym. I just wanna be able to move when I'm old. This is for my health and my mental wellness, not to look cute.
Patricia Sung [00:21:13]:
But, yeah, taking care of me and making space for spontaneity. One of the things I am so sad about when I was sick because I really lost my sense of joy, and I don't want to lose my sense of joy. I already lost it. I'm finding it back, but I'm trying to be more spontaneous and doing fun things with my kids and random park dates and play dates. And, I I reminded myself that I wanna be that mom that has all the kids in the backyard, and you're like, where did they all come from? And you know what? You're the house with the good snacks, but I know what everybody's doing. I know who's friends with who, and I know who they're friends with and where they are and what's going on because I can see them. That's something that's always been really important to me. But I found over the last couple years when I'm working till 5 o'clock, I don't I don't get to see a lot of that.
Patricia Sung [00:21:55]:
I don't wanna do that anymore. That season has passed. Let me be honest, I don't really know if this season holds. I've changed a lot of things around. I feel more refined in what I'm doing. I'm absolutely loving rooted. It's so life giving. I love working with my 1 on 1 clients.
Patricia Sung [00:22:09]:
I thought I was gonna be real annoyed about this book proposal, but it's really helped me clarify to, like, what is it that I actually wanna write about and what what does this look like? Because I actually have 3 books floating around in my head. But this first one, I think, we're gonna see. I haven't finished the proposal yet, but I think this one is going to be a like a how do I keep the pain? Like, I don't handbook sounds really lame. I don't think I want to be a handbook. I'm thinking survival guide. The survival guide for ADHD moms. ADHD mom's survival guide, and I gotta figure this out. Okay.
Patricia Sung [00:22:38]:
I figure out the details later. But I want this to be like bite sized advice on the most pressing issues that come up. I want you to know that you're not alone. I want to put clear language to these things that you're struggling with and exactly, like, what can you do about that? So I want this to be kind of like a generalist book that any mom who gets diagnosed can pick up and be like, oh, here's where I can start. Here's what I can do. So that it doesn't feel so overwhelming. So if you have ideas on what you think would go in that handbook survival guide, whatever I'm gonna call it is, please go over to my website, patricia's home.comforward/book. Tell me what it is that you want to see in this book.
Patricia Sung [00:23:18]:
If you wanna be a beta reader, I would love for you to be in here with me and see firsthand what's in there. What the heck? Well, how do you write a book? Anybody? Anybody? Let's learn together. But what does that look like? What does it need? Where do we edit? What do we cut out? What do we need more of? Or you can just follow along for the bride and see what I'm doing. But I'd really appreciate your input. I want this to serve as, like, when you get your diagnosis and they they tell you very little, maybe they offer you some medicine, they send you on your way, like, I want this to be the book that's like, okay, now what? Read this book. This is gonna tell you, like, okay, what next? That's what this book is gonna be. And what are the things that you wish you had known when you first got diagnosed? That's what I want to be in the book. So please tell me what you wish that was.
Patricia Sung [00:23:58]:
Being 20 years out, sometimes I forget. 20 year no. Oh my gosh. I mean, I was diagnosed 25 years ago. Whoo. So being 25 years out of this, sometimes I forget. What did I actually need to know then? As a little wee babe then didn't even know what's going on with the world. So you as a grown woman, grown up, real human with a mostly developed brain, what do you need to know? K.
Patricia Sung [00:24:20]:
So there's my life update. Snow or toy, it was not this is this is not where I thought 2025 was going. Had you asked me a couple months ago? I didn't I didn't know. Here we are with the start of a new project. My life's totally changed. Everything's different, but better. As my business coach, Tracy, always says, less but better, more Patricia. I gotta find the most Patricia way of doing things so that it fits me best.
Patricia Sung [00:24:40]:
And that's what I wanna teach you with your ADHD brain too. How do you be the most you and make your life the easiest and most joyful possible so you can really enjoy being a mom? And I'm reminded that just like I tell my clients, you don't have to have it all figured out to teach your kids. I don't have to have it all figured out to talk to you about it either. We're learning together, and I really appreciate you being here with me. So when you are ready for my help in person, well, virtual person, Zoom person, come hang out and read it with me. Patriciasone.comforward/group, and go over to the website for the book. Let's figure this out, and I'll keep you updated as we go along here. I have a lot to think about.
Patricia Sung [00:25:16]:
I gotta decide, like, finish the proposal. Do I wanna do a publisher? Do I wanna self publish? It's like so many decisions, but I'm gonna figure it out. And I'm gonna do it with small kids and running 2 businesses, being a mom, and a good partner, and taking care of myself, and I'm cutting out all the other things because I can't do everything all at one time. So ruthlessly cutting stuff, which is hard because a lot of stuff that I like. But I'm filling those spaces with the things that I actually like and the things that make the most impact. And I don't have to be consistent. I was talking about that with another client the other day. I'm not a consistent person.
Patricia Sung [00:25:49]:
I'm a I'm a badger. I do things in chunks, and then I spread them out so that it feels consistent, but I'm not consistent. It's kinda like when you batch freezer meals. Like, you make 4 meals and you, you know, you cook 1 and you put the 3 in the freezer. That's what I do with my life. I go all in on the 4 meals and then I spread them out over time because that's what works best for me. Then I'm gonna help you figure out what works best for you too. So thanks for bearing with me on my life update slash book saga.
Patricia Sung [00:26:13]:
I'm glad you're here, and I so appreciate you coming to help me alongside me, with this book. It's gonna be an interesting ride. Here's to 2025 and whatever you got on your plate for 2025, may you find the easiest way to do it that works with your brain. I'll talk to you soon, Successful Mama.
