Struggling to get organized? You’re not broken — you’re just an ADHDer with a real, overwhelmed brain.
In this episode, we’re ditching the shame spiral and unpacking why staying organized is so hard for ADHDers… and what actually helps. Spoiler alert: It’s NOT more bins.
If your home feels like a disaster zone, this one’s for you. We’ll talk about:
- Why executive dysfunction—not laziness—is the real culprit
- How emotional regulation (not time management) is the secret key to organizing
- The connection between trauma and clutter
- What Marie Kondo got right… and what she totally missed
- The ADHD-friendly 3-pile system that actually works
- How to help your kids without losing your mind
- Why decision fatigue is derailing your decluttering
- And how to redefine “organized enough” for your actual life
This episode is packed with practical strategies, permission slips, and empowering reminders that your messy house is not a moral failing.
Listen now, take what resonates, and leave the guilt behind.
