How ADHD Brains Can Stop Consuming and Start Creating with AI

If you’re an ADHD mom whose brain feels full before the day even starts—this episode is for you.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Marnie Wills and I focus on the practical side of AI: how it can help reduce mental overload, decision fatigue, and the constant feeling of being behind.

This isn’t about becoming more productive or doing more.

It’s about using AI as a supportive second brain—so your actual brain can finally exhale.

We talk about simple, realistic ways ADHD moms can start using AI today to manage chaos, organize thoughts, and create a little more breathing room in everyday life.

What We Talk About in Part 1

• Why ADHD moms should stop defaulting to Google—and start using AI differently
• How tools like Gemini can replace endless tabs and searching
• Creating a personalized AI assistant to help manage schedules, emails, and planning
• Using AI for brain dumping when your thoughts feel tangled and overwhelming
• How AI can help with thinking, not just task completion
• Why Perplexity AI is a favorite for clear, focused answers
• Marnie’s personal journey of using AI to manage real-life chaos
• Reframing AI as calm-support—not another system to maintain

Key Insights

AI works best as a second brain, not a productivity whip

AI can hold information, organize thoughts, and reduce mental clutter—especially for ADHD brains that are already maxed out.

ADHD overwhelm isn’t a motivation problem—it’s a load problem

Using AI to offload thinking frees up energy for decision-making, creativity, and connection.

Brain dumping into AI creates instant relief

Getting thoughts out of your head and into a neutral space reduces anxiety and helps you see what actually matters.

Search is passive. AI is collaborative.

AI tools don’t just retrieve information—they help you think through problems in real time.

Calm isn’t about doing less—it’s about holding less

When AI manages background noise, ADHD moms regain space to breathe.

Stay tuned for the rest of our conversation next week!

In Part 2, we zoom out—from daily survival to bigger questions of purpose, creativity, and how this shift impacts our kids and the future.
