Mother Mother is a new podcast from the mom friends you need right now — because this shit is hard.

Mother Mother is a new podcast from the mom friends you need right now — because this shit is hard.

We discuss everything from diversifying our social circles and managing our mental health to bra shopping after breastfeeding and peeing in private.

My essay collection, "I'll Just Be Five More Minutes: And Other Tales from My ADHD Brain" is out from Hachette Books February 6, 2024.

“These essays feel like catching up with an old friend that I actually like listening to. If you enjoy my flavor of OCD you will have just as much fun at Emily’s ADHD party." —Samantha Irby, New York Times bestselling author of "Quietly Hostile"

“Funny, cringey, and oh, so relatable.” —Jenny Lawson, New York Times Bestselling author of "Broken" and "Furiously Happy"

"An ignore-your-family, cancel-your-plans, stay-up-past-your-bedtime tale that reminds me of Samantha Irby, David Sedaris, and so many other favorite essayists. It’s laugh-out-loud funny and strikingly smart, and Farris offers brilliant insight into the ADHD brain." — Joanna Rakoff, bestselling author of “My Salinger Year”

"Not only is this memoir witty, laugh-out-loud funny, enlightening, and brave, it also perfectly fits a reader who has ADHD. Short chapters, pithy sentences, fresh insights, nothing boring. Aimed at the largest undiagnosed group—adult women with ADHD—Farris tells her story in such an engagingly personal way that it appeals to everyone. It instructs by pleasing. Bravo Emily Farris!"―Edward Hallowell, M.D., author most recently of "ADHD 2.0"

"An unputdownable book that offers a frank, funny look at the highs and lows of life with a neurodivergent brain". —Amy Shearn, award-winning author of "Unseen City," "The Mermaid of Brooklyn," and other novels

"I am a lifelong flailer and noted scatterbrain, and Emily Farris’s warm, wise, and very funny book not only makes me feel seen, but makes me wonder if maybe I shouldn’t have sought help long ago. No matter how your brain works, this book will make you want to be her best friend." —Emily Flake, Cartoonist for The New Yorker Show less

I'm one of those weirdos who truly loves the challenge of creating branded content — whether I'm telling a story, writing a service piece, or developing a recipe to showcase a product or brand. I've worked with Food Network, HGTV, the Washington Post Brand Studio, Eater, and others to produce pieces for Home Depot, Starbucks, KitchenAid, Capital One, Google Express, French's, Coca-Cola, Boar's Head, Cabinets to Go, Boulevard Brewing Company, and many more household names.

I've written for Bon Appeit, Food52, The Cut, The Kitchn, FoodNetwork.com, HGTV.com, Food & Wine, MadeMan.com, Gourmet.com, BUST, Nerve.com, Women's Wear Daily, CNN.com, My Midwest, The Frisky, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, Shelterpop.com, UrbanFarmOnline.com, The Pitch, The Kansas City Star, Slashfood.com, Edible Brooklyn and many publications and websites you've probably never heard of.
