In this special holiday edition of the ADHD & ... podcast, host Jorie Houlihan welcomes back productivity expert Ronna Belinky to tackle one of the most overwhelming times of year for people with ADHD.

This episode dives deep into the executive functioning challenges that make holidays chaotic—from holiday cards and cookie baking to impulse shopping and emotional dysregulation.

Jorie and Ronna share practical, ADHD-friendly strategies, actionable hacks, and tools (like Ronna's holiday workflow and notebook system) to help you reclaim joy, reduce overwhelm, and actually enjoy the holiday season without burning out.
