Clutter: some of us thrive in it, some drown in it, and for many neurodivergent folks, it’s a constant battle. In this episode, Russ joins me as the curious co-host to explore the complicated relationship between clutter, executive function, and neurodivergence.

We talk about why traditional organizing methods don’t always work for ADHD and autistic brains, how clutter impacts our mental health, and the emotional weight of "stuff." I also share some personal experiences with clutter, what’s helped me manage it (or at least make peace with it), and why a perfectly organized space isn’t always the goal.

If you’ve ever struggled with clutter, felt overwhelmed by your environment, or wondered why "just clean it up" isn’t that simple, this episode is for you.
