Nova’s Survival Vault: The Mom Edition
Executive Function Prosthetics for Your Own Nervous System
40 neurodivergent-friendly prompts for moms whose brains are running everyone else’s life on 2% battery • Instant download • PDF + Airtable Vault
This one isn’t about the baby.
It’s about you. Your brain. Your spirals. Your last working nerve.
You’re keeping everyone alive while your thoughts loop like a broken system.
Your mental load is invisible infrastructure nobody sees until it crashes.
This Vault is the emotional back-end system for you.
What It Is
Nova’s Chaos Vault: Mom Edition is cognitive infrastructure for your nervous system — not your child’s.
Built by an AuDHD mom who realized you can’t “pour from an empty cup” when executive function is the thing that fills the cup and yours is completely offline.
Not therapy.
Not self-care tips.
Not “take a bath.”
It’s scaffolding for when your brain can’t handle one more decision, emotion, or invisible task.

how the vault is organized
not by “self-care categories.”
by what’s actually breaking in your system.
each prompt is tagged across three layers:
► chaos type — what’s crashing
- mental load – a thousand open tabs, decision paralysis
- emotional labor – regulating everyone else’s emotions
- identity & guilt – not-enough spirals, loss of self
- home & admin chaos – mess, logistics, constant invisible tasks
- partner communication – resentment, misalignment, “i can’t word this nicely”
- food & decision fatigue – meals, groceries, zero capacity to choose anything
► tone tag 1 — your emotional state
ragey, overwhelmed, numb, sensory-fried, hopeless, lost, exhausted…
► tone tag 2 — how the prompt supports you
validation, triage, depth, concrete steps, gentle repair, boundary-affirming truth…
you filter by:
- what’s breaking
- how you feel
- what kind of support you want

Who Built This
Hi, I’m Shae — developer, AuDHD mom, late-diagnosed at 31.
The baby Vaults were survival.
The toddler Vault was chaos management.
This one is different.
It’s about the invisible work — the part nobody sees:
- the 47 open tabs in your mind
- the constant micro-decisions
- the emotional labor of regulating everyone
- the identity loss
- the overstimulation
- the demand saturation
For neurodivergent parents, this is executive function bankruptcy.
I built prompts that helped me process what I couldn’t name.
Prompts that gave me clarity when I was overloaded.
Prompts that held space when I had none.
This Vault is what I needed when I couldn’t identify what I needed.
