About this listen

You know those home organization systems that look amazing in a Pinterest photo—but completely fall apart in real life? Yeah, this episode isn’t about those.

If you’ve ever felt like your home is full of half-finished piles, random things that don’t belong to you, and systems that only make sense to you—this episode is going to feel like a breath of fresh air.

In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I'm talking about the real-life, unfiltered ways I keep my home running (especially with ADHD in the mix). I’m sharing systems that are functional, flexible, and sometimes a little funny—including why there’s always a random pile in front of my TV, how I return things left behind by guests, and why I’ll always be team “pile.” These strategies might not be picture-perfect, but they help reduce mental load, cut down on decision fatigue, and actually work with my brain—not against it.

So if you’ve ever:

  • Felt like your house is the neighborhood drop zone
  • Needed your kitchen counters cleared just to think straight
  • Created systems that are messy but functional
  • Wanted permission to do things your own way

...this episode is for you. You’ll walk away with real-life examples of ADHD-friendly home management and simple mindset shifts that make a huge difference. No guilt, no complicated routines, just practical ways to feel more in control of your space—starting today.
