Is this book for you?

You know what you “should” do. Your brain just won't cooperate.

You've bought the planners and printed the chore charts, and none of it lasted past a few days.
You're busy all day and still feel like nothing got done.
The laundry, the dishes, and the dinner question are wearing you down.
You love your kids but feel too depleted to give them what they need.
You were just diagnosed and you're making sense of your whole life, or you've known for years and you're still looking for what works.

This book is for you. It won't ask you to try harder. It shows you how to work with your brain instead of against it.

Which one are you?

In the book, I describe four tendencies that show up for moms with ADHD.

Most of us recognize ourselves right away.

Tendency 1

The Unrealistic Perfectionist

You set the bar so high that starting feels impossible, and when it isn't perfect, you're tempted to quit altogether.

Tendency 2

The Passionate Procrastinator

Full of ideas and good intentions, but the boring stuff waits until it becomes an emergency.

Tendency 3

The Overwhelmed Overthinker

You research, plan, and replay every option until you're too tired to actually begin.

Tendency 4

The Professional Parent

You're so focused on supporting your kids that your own needs are always in the back seat, until there's nothing left of you.

Whichever one sounds like you, the book shows you how to work with it instead of fighting it.

Why I wrote this book

I'm a mom with ADHD raising 3 kids with ADHD. I read every ADHD book I could find, but none were written for a mom juggling all three at once: her own ADHD, the boring tasks of running a home, and kids with big needs. So I wrote the book I was desperate for.

What readers are saying

“I wish I had this book and my diagnosis a decade ago. It would have changed my life.”

A. French · Late-diagnosed mom of 3 · ★★★★★

★★★★★

“There are lots of ADHD focused self help resources out there, but there aren't many focused on the unique challenges that women with ADHD face once they become parents. This book fills that space.”

Kaitlin

★★★★★

“I've never felt so validated, seen, accepted, and hopeful before… I feel real lasting change for the better is just around the corner.”

S. M. Barlow

★★★★★

“Wide ranging book on life as an ADHD mom written with authenticity, guidance, and grace. Amy's writing style is personal and made me feel like we were sitting down at a coffee shop sharing our ADHD Mom stories, challenges, victories, and strategies.”

DVH

★★★★★

“There is no judgment or ‘do better.’ Just ‘I see you, I've been where you are, here are some very clear steps I took to improve my quality of life.’”

Verified Amazon reader

★★★★★

“If you have ADHD (or even if you don't) and feel like you're drowning… you're not broken. Your systems aren't supporting you.”

Emily McDermott

★★★★★

“Hands down, my favorite housekeeping type book yet… I can feel the [chaos] slowly receding.”

Read it, then get support

The book shows you the path. Master the Mundane walks it with you.

Reading is a great start. But if you've ever finished a book full of good ideas and then life happened, you know the hard part is keeping it going. Master the Mundane takes the book's ideas further, with three courses in the order that works (recover first, then create capacity, then build systems that stick), weekly coaching with me, daily body doubling, and a community of moms who get it.

FAQ

Questions about the book

Is this only for moms who've been diagnosed?

No. Whether you were diagnosed as a kid, just got diagnosed, or are still wondering, if this sounds like your life, it's for you.

Do I have to read it all at once?

It's written to be read in order, because each chapter builds on the one before it. But you can go at your own pace. Short chapters, clear headings, and action steps at the end of each one make it easy to pick back up wherever you left off.

Is there an audiobook?

Not yet. For now, it's available in hardcover and ebook. Join the email list with the free reader tools and you'll be the first to know if that changes.

I've read a lot of ADHD books. What's different here?

It's written by a mom with ADHD for moms with ADHD, about the everyday stuff: laundry, dinner, mornings, mental load, and raising kids with ADHD. No “just try harder.”

How is the book different from Master the Mundane, the program?

The book teaches the ideas. The program adds the courses, live coaching, body doubling, and community to help you put them into practice.

You can have ADHD and be a really great mom.
