Turns out, having a newborn gives you ADHD. Not metaphorically. For real.


So for this episode I brought in someone who knows exactly how to work with a brain that isn't cooperating.


Jessica Lewis is an ADHD coach, host of the Quick Wins for ADHD Moms podcast, and a mom of three who was diagnosed with ADHD at 43 after recognizing herself in her son's symptoms. She joined me to talk practical, low-lift strategies that work specifically for the newborn phase — whether you have ADHD or not.


In this episode:

  • Why new parenthood is functionally identical to ADHD — and why that actually matters for how you cope
  • Protecting your sleep — why it's the highest-leverage thing you can do and how to actually make it happen
  • The postpartum registry idea — asking for the specific help you actually need instead of hoping people figure it out
  • Pump parts in the fridge — the tip that will save you from washing them after every single session
  • Freezer meals, frozen vegetables, and why your toaster oven is about to become your best friend
  • How to delegate the tasks that are draining you without feeling like you have to ask awkwardly

This one is part of the Life With a Newborn series — practical support for the phase that nobody fully prepares you for.
