Freckled Foodie & Friends

In this episode, I sit down with Kelly Grace Mae to discuss the rollercoaster of her twenties, moving out of survival mode, and starting to feel the pressure of having kids as she approaches thirty. We talk about having ADHD and struggling with executive functioning, feeling childlike, and Kelly’s experience with losing her partner at twenty years old. She shares how she moved through grief, how she met her husband after that turbulent period, and how they have kept her former partner’s memory alive. She also talks about her relationship with drugs and alcohol growing up and facing the pivotal moments along the way that got her to stop drinking.Key Takeaway / Points:On the rollercoaster of Kelly’s twenties and moving out of survival modeOn looking towards her thirties and feeling the pressure of having kidsOn ADHD and struggling with executive functioningOn the catharsis of purging and throwing things awayOn the paradox of feeling like a child and being a motherKelly’s experience losing a partner when she was
