You know the clutter isn’t just about stuff. It’s about energy. It’s about worth. And for ADHD moms, it’s also about survival.

In Part 2 of our ADHD Energy Series, Stacey dives into the unseen cost of the piles, the mess, and the chaos—not just on our homes, but on our nervous systems. This isn’t a five-step how-to. It’s an honest, deeply relatable look at why decluttering feels so impossible for ADHD women—and how clearing your space might actually be clearing your subconscious.

💥 We cover:

  • Why ADHD brains are extra sensitive to “energy clutter”
  • The emotional weight of unfinished business (hello, five laundry baskets)
  • The “worthiness wound” behind our mess
  • The ADHD dopamine-cleaning spiral—and what comes after
  • How Stacey’s closet became a portal to her future self

This one is personal. It's not about organizing for the aesthetic—it's about coming home to yourself.

✨ Ready to shift your energy? Start with the sock pile. Or the alarm list on your phone. Your clutter is not just a mess. It’s a mirror.
