Ep #170: Why Laundry Piles Are Never Just Laundry Piles


Listen Later

Laundry piles aren’t just about laundry. For many working moms, especially those who are neurodivergent or have ADHD, unfinished to-dos carry emotional weight, guilt, and harsh self-talk that quietly drain your energy. In this episode, we explore why undone tasks feel so heavy and how everyday clutter often becomes a symbol for overwhelm, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.

This conversation isn’t about fixing your house or getting everything done. It’s about understanding the emotional charge behind unfinished to-dos and learning how to release the judgment that makes even small tasks feel exhausting. 

What you’ll learn:

  • Why laundry piles and undone to-dos often trigger shame and self-criticism
  • How ADHD and neurodivergent brains experience clutter differently
  • Why unfinished tasks can feel emotionally overwhelming, not just inconvenient
  • How guilt and unrealistic standards make it harder to get things done
  • A more compassionate way to think about to-dos without tying them to your worth

If you feel weighed down by clutter, undone tasks, or the constant feeling that you’re behind, this episode offers relief, perspective, and permission to be gentler with yourself. Because laundry is just laundry and you are not defined by what’s left on your to-do list.
