In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I discuss my personal experiences of managing finances while living with ADHD. Starting from a memorable conversation in 2013, I walk you through the significant challenges ADHD can bring to financial management, such as impulsivity, difficulty with long-term planning, and task paralysis. I share insights on the 'ADHD tax' and explore how to recognize and handle emotional and environmental spending triggers. I also discuss practical strategies like automating finances, using visual aids, setting short-term goals, and finding the right budget tools—highlighting apps such as 'Today's Budget' and 'YNAB'. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of decluttering to understand spending habits and the benefits of having accountability partners or engaging with financial communities. Lastly, I introduce the 'Decide Guide' to facilitate room-by-room decluttering. This episode aims to provide relatable experiences and actionable steps to help manage money more effectively, especially for moms with ADHD.

This week, I want to share a little holiday encouragement for you: progress doesn’t have to be perfect to make a big difference. If you’ve ever felt stuck in your decluttering journey because you want to do it “the right way” or because you’re waiting for the perfect moment, you’re not alone. This episode will help you shift your focus from perfection to progress so you can start creating a home that works for your family—without the overwhelm.

In this episode, I cover:

✨ Why perfectionism can keep us from taking that first step to simplify.

✨ How to reframe your organizing mindset

✨ Why identifying your values is key to making confident decluttering decisions.

✨ How my brand-new resource, The Decide Guide: A Room-by-Room Resource to Declutter with Confidence, can help you simplify one space at a time—without overthinking or getting stuck.

You’ll also hear a personal story about how perfectionism showed up for me in my classroom and the moment I realized that sometimes we just need a little encouragement (or validation!) to move forward.
