We're back after a little hiatus after a not so little event: Ron became a Dad! We're talking today about how Ron's adjusting to his new life, new family, new role, new everything! 

Those early newborn days are a whirlwind for any new parent. But add ADHD in the mix and the experience can be truly disorienting. Sleepless nights, upside down routines, and a fresh array of intense emotions leave ADHD mums and dads wondering: "Who am I? And tf just happened to me?!"

In today's episode, Ron (our new rad dad) and Liz talk:

  • Ron's new role as a father and the impact it has on his ADHD symptoms
  • the struggle of finding time for self-care
  • coping with the uncertainty and anxiety that comes with parenting (hint: it doesn't go away!)
  • the overwhelming nature of parenting, the fear of making mistakes, and the pressure to do everything right
  • the need to develop new ADHD coping strategies to adapt to a new life as a parent.
  • how to create open communication and support between partners - crucial to navigating the difficulties of parenting

Congratulations Ron and Gwen! And to all ADHD parents, new and not so new, we thing you're bloody awesome.
