Hi, I'm Heidi Mulherin! You might have met me on my YouTube Channel where I share raw life moments as a busy mom of two school-aged kids. I've been a stay-at-home mom for over 10 years, as well as one year working on a professional home organizing team for The Simplified Home by Cristina.
My whole life, I always considered myself a bit of a weird kid who wasn't popular, but also who desperately wanted to fit in. I'm afraid I've never out-grown that awkwardness, much to my chagrin. I've struggled with overwhelm, perfectionism, people-pleasing and misguided creativity my whole life. It wasn't until I had suspicions of ADHD in my daughter that I held the mirror up to myself and realized so many of my struggles could be explained by ADHD (and also anxiety). I don't aim to be 'that person' who makes ADHD her whole personality, but it IS a huge part of my existence that is both a superpower and burden.
My name "At Home with ADHD" really serves a dual purpose: I love making vlog content about life around my house while juggling my ADHD and family's schedule. But also -- I am now finally comfortable (i.e. at home) with my diagnosis and how to manage my symptoms. I'm still in 'recovery' mode on so many levels, but I love discovering the person I was meant to be, and I hope I can inspire you to do the same. I cling to the saying that "Self love isn't selfish" and I aspire to remind myself that every day.
