ADHD as a Teacher and Mom: Real Life with a Busy Brain

If you've ever sat in a meeting trying to focus while your brain planned dinner, replayed a conversation from three days ago, and also fixated on whether you left the dryer running, welcome to my Tuesday.

This blog is my way of showing up honestly, because ADHD doesn’t mean incapable. It means navigating life a little differently and finding ways to make it work anyway.
