Hey I'm Tali

Living with ADHD as a single mum adds unique challenges to the daily parenting routine, but it also brings unexpected strengths. In my experience, embracing flexibility instead of chasing perfection is key. Some days, the structure I try to maintain helps me hyper-focus on meal prepping and training, giving me a sense of accomplishment and routine. Other days, sensory overload and fatigue take the lead, teaching me the importance of giving myself permission to rest and practice self-compassion. The gym has become more than a fitness space; it’s a sanctuary where I can regulate my emotions, release stress, and regain calm. Physical activity not only benefits my body but also helps me manage ADHD symptoms better, improving focus and reducing anxiety. Similarly, approaching food as nourishment instead of control transforms eating into a positive, mindful practice, which supports overall wellness for me and my daughter. Healing is a journey without a fixed timeline. Recognizing that both parenting and personal growth involve ongoing learning reduces the pressure to have everything figured out. I aim to model kindness, resilience, and self-care for my daughter, hoping to raise a strong young woman grounded in empathy and confidence. For anyone else navigating life and parenting with ADHD, know that imperfection is okay, and building a supportive, understanding community can make all the difference.
