In this episode, I’m sharing what it’s really been like preparing for one of the biggest transitions of my life—selling our home, letting go of most of our belongings, and getting ready for a full-on summer adventure with my family.

But here's the thing... I’m not trying to become a minimalist.
 I like my stuff. I love color, creativity, and having spaces that feel like me.
And for so many of us with ADHD, minimalism can feel more like diet culture for your house—shame-filled, all-or-nothing, and totally unrealistic.

I talk about what it means to declutter intentionally without trying to erase yourself in the process. You’ll hear about how my relationship with "stuff" has evolved, how I’ve learned to trust myself in what I keep (and what I don’t), and how I’ve stopped buying things hoping they’ll one day “fit in” somewhere.

Instead, I'm focusing on buying and keeping things that have a purpose—things that support the version of me I’m becoming.

Whether you’re drowning in decisions or just starting to think about making a change, I hope this episode helps you feel seen, supported, and less alone.

And if you’re craving a place to untangle all of this alongside others who truly get it—I’d love for you to join my ADHD-friendly community. We’re all about progress over perfection, small wins, and creating homes that feel like peace.
