ADHD can turn organization into an emotional rollercoaster where a single drawer holds forgotten treasures, unresolved emotions, and a whole lot of chaos. In this episode, Megan and Michelle dive deep into the nostalgic mess of their childhood homes and adult habits, spotlighting one infamous relic: the Pit of Despair Drawer.

With laughter and tenderness, the sisters unpack how ADHD shapes their relationship to space, memory, and the constant dance between sentimentality and overwhelm. Their humor adds a delightful twist to the narrative. From museum-style displays of tiny treasures to the magic of FaceTime clean-up sessions, this episode is a heartfelt look at how we manage our internal and external clutter with humor, connection, and a whole lot of curiosity.
