How parenting a PDA child taught me a better way to declutter, organize my home, and let go of perfectionism, with guest Casey Ehrlich #157

Discover how parenting a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) led me to a new, more realistic approach to decluttering, organizing my home, and letting go of perfectionism — lessons every overwhelmed parent can use.
Have you ever felt like you're failing because your home doesn’t look like a magazine?
Wondered why traditional organizing advice just doesn’t seem to work for your real life?
Me too.
Especially when autism, burnout, and daily survival were the reality — not pretty color-coded baskets.
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Casey from At Peace Parents — a brilliant coach and mentor for families parenting PDA and neurodivergent kids.
Together, we talk about how raising a neurodivergent child completely changes your relationship with tidying, decluttering, and home organization. It forced both of us to rethink everything we thought we knew — even my beloved KonMari practices.
It made us ask: What really matters when you’re building a home? Matching cushions... or emotional safety?
During Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to have this real, important conversation.
Because whether you're parenting a child with autism, raising a kid with PDA, or just juggling the mental load of motherhood, you’ll find yourself somewhere in this story.
You’ll walk away with a fresh, intentional perspective on organizing your home — one that prioritizes calm over perfection, connection over control, and sanity over spotless surfaces.
If you’ve ever battled clutter, perfectionism, or the invisible pressure to "keep up," you need this episode.
This is your permission to choose what actually works for your family — not what looks good on Instagram.
Ready to let go and create a home that truly supports you?
Let’s dive in.
