But here's the thing... I’m not trying to become a minimalist. 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.
