Hey friends… how come we don’t talk much about doula life with ADHD?
Because on one hand, my brain is AMAZING in birth spaces — intuitive, hyper-focused, deeply present, reading the room like a sixth sense.
And on the other hand…
…I’ve got 4️⃣7️⃣ tabs open
…3 unfinished charts 📋
…a client text I ✨thought✨ I sent 🤦🏼♀️
…and I’m holding a rolling pin wondering how I got here. 🙃
Birth adrenaline? 🤌🏼 Elite.
On-call life? 🏃♀️ Mostly thrilling.
The crash afterward? …Absolutely humbling 😅
Add in mom life, running your own business, and trying to be a festive human in December 🎄✨ — aka aggressively making it magical for my kids who are growing up WAY too fast 😭
— and suddenly I’m overstimulated, avoiding the 4 baskets of clean laundry I need to fold and put away, watching my to-do list grow and my will-power to complete it diminish… but STILL saying yes to things like I’ve slept in the last week. 🥲
SO here’s to the ADHD doulas 🍻 — elite in the birth space…. And questionable everywhere else.
May our calendars be forgiving and our snacks be plentiful. 😂✨
