Listen Later

Hey sweet soul—if you’ve ever looked around your home and felt too overwhelmed to even begin, this episode was made for you. Whether you’re stuck in survival mode, buried in dishes and laundry, or paralyzed by decision fatigue, this is your soft place to land.

In this deeply validating episode of The Slay At Home Podcast, we’re talking about how to gently get started when everything feels like too much—especially for neurodivergent moms, Type B and C personalities, and women struggling with motivation, shame, or executive dysfunction.

This isn’t another podcast that tells you to hustle harder. It’s a science-backed, emotionally compassionate episode that gives you practical, doable steps for getting out of overwhelm—and into a place of peace and progress.

🧠 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • The neuroscience of clutter overwhelm: Why your brain shuts down when your space is chaotic

  • How cortisol, decision fatigue, and shame loops keep you stuck

  • Why “starting small” isn’t lazy—it’s actually scientifically proven to work

  • The Power Spot Strategy—one calming place that helps build momentum

  • How to separate emotional clutter from physical clutter and heal your relationship with your home

  • The 3 systems that actually work for Type B & Type C moms (yes, including ADHD and sensory-sensitive moms)

  • Gentle routines that don’t require motivation—just presence

  • How to begin nurturing a relationship with your home that supports your peace, not your pressure
