Hi, I’m Haley—mom of two beautiful kiddos, wife of a Marine, and daughter of a Southern family who’s called this place home since the 1700s. I grew up in a world where flying was rare, and the best vacations I knew were weekend trips to Gatlinburg or a beach three hours away.

People have always told me I have a strong personality—sometimes intimidating until you get to know me. But if you asked me, I’d tell you I’m spontaneous, loyal, and the type of friend who’s in it for life. I’m the one you can count on if you ever need to dive down a rabbit hole—I’ll happily go with you.

Growing up, I coasted through school with A’s, but when I hit college, everything came to a grinding stop. I remember sitting in my freshman dorm with a fan blasting just to drown out the noise. I’d read 50 pages of a book and not remember a thing. That’s when I realized something had been off all along.

I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. Looking back, the signs were so clear:

-I could hyperfocus like no one else or I could be so overwhelmed I didn’t do anything.

-The busier I was with time commitment, the more structured I became.

-I could never sit through an entire movie.

-Words felt like they would explode out of me if I didn’t say them immediately.

But there’s another side of ADHD that people don’t always talk about—the dark side. The outbursts. The overstimulation. And not the trendy “I feel overstimulated” phrase people throw around today—I mean the kind where you can’t drown out the noise, and even the smallest sounds feel painfully loud.

After college, I quit my ADHD meds, found a job that wasn’t behind a desk, and life felt manageable—until motherhood. With one child, I learned to cope. But after my second, I hit another wall.

Suddenly, I was in a constant state of overstimulation, paralyzed by even the smallest tasks. My marriage, my job, my home life—everything took a hit.

That’s when I had to finally face it head-on. ADHD wasn’t just something I “had.” It was something I had to actively manage in this new season—as a mom.

That’s what this space is about.

Managing the mess. Finding the beauty. Sharing the honest, raw, funny, and hard moments of being an ADHD mom.
