There’s a kind of tired that coffee can’t fix. A fog that lingers, even after a full night’s sleep.

If you’re a mum with ADHD — diagnosed or not — you might know this fog all too well. It’s the mental clutter, the forgetfulness, the never-ending to-do list that never gets done. It's walking into a room and forgetting why, or staring at the laundry pile wondering how it grew overnight (again).

You’re doing your best. You love your kids fiercely.
But some days, it feels like your brain is running in 15 directions — and none of them lead to peace.

This kind of brain fog isn’t laziness. It’s not a lack of motivation. It’s what happens when your nervous system is overloaded, your mind is overwhelmed, and your coping strategies are maxed out.

And worst of all? It starts to feel personal.

You wonder:

• Why can’t I keep up like other mums?
• Why do I feel so scattered, even when I care so much?
• Am I ever going to feel like myself again?

This fog doesn’t just affect your memory or attention. It impacts how present you are with your kids, how patient you can be with your partner, and how kind you are to yourself. You want to show up as your best self — but the noise in your head makes it hard to even find her.

The truth is: you’re not broken.
You’re just tired. Overloaded. Under-supported.

And more than anything — you’re not alone.
