motherboard hq
applied ai for neurospicy motherhood
Hi, I’m Shae — a neurospicy mom (AuDHD) and the human behind Motherboard HQ.
When I was pregnant, my doctor handed me confusing test results and basically walked out of the room. My autistic brain immediately went into “what does this mean” loop mode.
I’d been using ChatGPT for work for over a year at that point, so I pulled it up and asked it to explain what the hell I was looking at.
And suddenly something clicked:
“Oh… this thing I use for code and work stuff can actually help me parent too.”
After my son was born, everything hit at once — sleep, feeding, milestones, emotions, doctors, appointments, house stuff, work stuff. All of it. My brain was already juggling too many tabs, and motherhood dropped like 40 more on top of that.
Except my ADHD brain doesn’t do “tabs” - it does “12 browser windows, all frozen, plus a spinning wheel of death.”
So I started using ChatGPT the way some moms use notebooks or planners:
as extra brain space.
Not to be more productive.
Not to hit some perfect routine.
Just to stop drowning.
I used it to help me think when my executive function was fried. To break down decisions when my ADHD wanted to disappear. To remind me of things my working memory kept yeeting into the void.
And eventually I realized:
other neurospicy moms need this too.
what motherboard hq actually is (in human language)
Motherboard HQ is where I collect all the prompts, tools, and little brain-savers I’ve tested in real life while raising a small human with an AuDHD brain.
Everything I make is built for the days when:
- your brain is in airplane mode
- your kid needs 27 things at once
- your emotions are loud
- your capacity is tiny
- and you still have to figure shit out
I break things down by the age range you’re in — because every stage comes with its own flavor of chaos.
0–6 months: newborn fog, “did I feed the baby or just think about it,” no object permanence for your own needs
6–12 months: sleep battles, food confusion, “why is my baby velcroed to me” sensory overload
12-36 months: big feelings (theirs AND yours), sensory meltdown detective work, the potty training executive function nightmare
general mom pack: brain dumps for the mental load, decision paralysis rescues, “how do I word this” communication support
Nothing fancy.
Nothing techy.
Just stuff that helps when your brain is tired and your toddler just licked the cat.
what im releasing now
prompt drops: Smaller themed sets for specific emotional spirals.
prompt drop #1: the mom guilt detox drop: Ten prompts to help you stop beating yourself up so much. (Because mom guilt + RSD is… rude, honestly.)
freebie: the guilt spiral interruptor: A cozy little nightly prompt that stops the bedtime “I failed today” spiral and all the ways your brain catalogs your perceived failures at midnight.
what im working on
the mental load meal planner: A workbook for neurospicy moms who are tired of meal planning advice that assumes you have consistent executive function.
It’s got three modes that match your actual bandwidth:
• survival mode: for when you can barely think
• functioning mode: for when you have some brain power
• thriving mode: for the rare days when your brain is cooperating
Inside: worksheets that actually work for ADHD brains, 22 ChatGPT prompts you can scan with your phone, and a system that doesn’t shame you for feeding your kid snacks for dinner three days in a row.
Coming soon. (Because even launching a product requires executive function I don’t always have.)
what you’ll find here
on the blog: real talk, breakdowns of confusing things, and gentler ways to think about motherhood when your brain is intense
in the packs: questions + prompts that do the heavy lifting when your brain can’t
in your inbox: weekly little nudges that help you feel less alone in the chaos
Motherboard HQ exists because neurospicy moms shouldn’t have to pretend to be neurotypical just to survive the day.
You deserve tools that work with your brain — not against it.
