Patricia Sung shares a deeply personal story of accidentally taking her ADHD stimulant medication at night—leading to a sleepless, overstimulated night—only to realize she didn’t spiral into shame or self-loathing like she once would have. This moment became a powerful metaphor for the retreat’s central theme: 'You Are Enough.' Rather than punishing herself for a human mistake, Patricia celebrated her progress in self-acceptance, highlighting how far she’s come through coaching and therapy. The episode pivots into a heartfelt invitation to join her fifth annual ADHD Mom Retreat, a restorative weekend retreat designed for moms with ADHD (or suspected ADHD) to unplug, reconnect with themselves, and belong in a judgment-free community. With only seven spots left, the retreat offers private tiny homes, meals, free time, and group coaching—all centered around the idea that rest, self-compassion, and belonging are not luxuries, but necessities for neurodivergent mothers. Patricia emphasizes that you don’t need to be perfect to belong; you just need to show up as you are.
Mistakes are human—especially for ADHD brains—and you don’t have to beat yourself up for them.
Self-compassion is a skill you can build, not a trait you’re born with.
The ADHD Mom Retreat offers rest, community, and zero responsibility—just you, your needs, and your peace.
You don’t need a formal ADHD diagnosis to belong at the retreat—just a willingness to show up as you are.
The retreat’s theme, 'You Are Enough,' is not a slogan—it’s a practice to hold onto during overwhelm.

From Shame Spiral to Self-Acceptance
Patricia contrasts her past reaction to mistakes (shame, guilt, self-punishment) with her current ability to acknowledge errors without self-attack. This shift is framed as a victory of therapy and coaching.
Why You Need This Retreat
