Welcome to An ADD Woman podcast with host Lacy Estelle, writer of all things about ADD parenting and an ADD mother on Mothering the Storm with Lacy Estelle at www.LacyEstelle.com. Here on An ADD Woman podcast, we're going to switch it up and talk about all things to do with ADD as an adult woman and how we deal with it. Now maybe you’re thinking, “Women don't really have ADD, do they?” Actually, we do. We've all just been doing such a great job of masking it for years! So, let's dive in and talk about everything that ADD touches in our lives. And when I say everything, I mean, everything! When you have ADD, there is not one thing it doesn't affect. I'm so glad you're here. And if nothing else, I hope that you take away from this, that you are not alone, you are not lazy, you are not stupid and you are definitely NOT crazy. You just have ADD and you're just like me.

ADHD and the Myth of Transactional Parenting
Do you feel like you're checking boxes to ensure your child's success but still questioning your approach? Well, you're not alone. Listen as Lacy Estelle dives into ADHD and the myth of transactional parenting. Discover why fulfilling tasks aren’t the key to everything and how true fulfillment is found in grace and intentionality. Lacy challenges the fear-based parenting narrative and shares insightful experiences to help you embrace faith and act in ways that glorify God. Plus, don't miss her candid take on Bill Gothard's teachings and why they don't align with biblical principles.
3 Key Takeaways:
- Parenting is not a series of transactions guaranteeing successful outcomes; it's a journey of faith, intention, and individual growth.
- True fulfillment comes from a relationship with God that is rooted in grace and faith, rather than fear and a checklist of tasks.
- Our worth and the worth of our relationships, especially with our children, are not defined by societal standards but through compassion and trust in God's plan.

Customer Reviews
This is ME!!
I love this podcast! Lacy, do more!! I’m 40 and I JUST discovered my ADD from my daughter’s diagnosis. Your podcasts have given me so many “AH-Ha!” moments that have made me laugh, cry, forgive myself, and love myself a little more. This has been SO enlightening and refreshing. I love your style and vibe! THANK YOU. I always look forward to more!!
Hello for women with Add!
I love listening to this podcast! Lacey is a huge advocate for women with ADD and making you feel welcome and normal!
Really good and good science but
I am a huge fan of the Podcaster. I love how she incorporates science into her ADHD. I’ve learned a lot from her. There was a lot of good stuff in this.
Just wanted the listener to know that there is a whole lot of Jesus in this podcast. I am very glad she has found her peace and her (evangelical) God. I am not wanting to debate religion. I have my own faith and didn’t appreciate nor expect the lecture. If you are not a Christian I would not listen to them. I am a Christian and I was offended by what she had to say.
