Scared to Let Go of Sentimental Items? The One Question That Makes ADHD Decluttering and Home Organization Easier

What if the way you say I love you has nothing to do with flowers or a beautifully written card? 

In this episode, I walk you through what everyday acts of love have to do with ADHD clutter and the piles that build up at home.

In this episode, I talk about a reel I posted called saying I love you in ADHD, and why so many people saw themselves in it. I talk about the ADHD traits that shape how we love and how we forget, and why clutter overwhelm gets read as proof that we don't care enough. I also talk about how much of what we own arrived here through love, and what that does to our decisions.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why doom piles keep appearing in the same corner of the same room
• What the reel about saying I love you in ADHD touched in so many people
• Why ADHD hyper focus can turn one passing comment into three hours of research
• What the gap between caring deeply and executing consistently looks like
• Why just ‘put it away’ can be unhelpful advice for an ADHD brain
• How to notice the everyday acts of care you've never counted as love
• What to ask yourself about sentimental items you're scared to let go of
• Why the object isn't the relationship, even when the memory is strong
• Why executive functioning explains the gap between what you intended and what happened

If you've been searching for sentimental clutter answers, home organization help, or honest conversations for ADHD women, this episode is your invitation to look at your home with more kindness and less blame.

Here's to noticing the small ways we love the people around us,
