In this Thanksgiving-week episode of Organizing an ADHD Brain, I’m inviting you into a very real season of my life — the messy middle of moving across the country with my husband, and everything that stirred up inside me.

If you’re someone who feels every life transition deep in your nervous system — the overwhelm, the freeze, the “this is too much and also I’m glad I’m doing it” duality — this episode is for you.
 You’re going to hear stories, yes… but also practical grounding, gentle reframes, and reminders that you’re not behind. You’re just human. And your ADHD brain is allowed to have a tender response to big change.

We explore:
 🌱 how growth often feels chaotic before it feels good
 🌗 the power of holding two truths at once
💛 the hidden emotional labor of transitions
🧠 ADHD responses that show up during change
🙏 gratitude that doesn’t ignore the hard
🌬️ and simple ways to regulate when life gets loud

Megs Getting out of debt journey: The Messy Middle of Getting out of Debt

01:30 — Introduction + Thanksgiving Greetings
A warm, grounding check-in… and a reminder you’re not expected to hold it all together during the holidays.

01:36 — The Journey Across the Country
How a cross-country move cracked me open, stretched my capacity, and exposed all my ADHD “under stress” patterns.

03:08 — Insights from the Journey
What big change teaches us about identity, self-trust, and nervous-system safety.

03:34 — Organizing and Personal Growth
Why your home often mirrors your emotional landscape — and how change shakes both up.

04:31 — Embracing Dual Emotions
Holding joy + grief, excitement + overwhelm at the same time. (ADHD brains feel all the things, sometimes all at once.)

05:28 — The Move to Nashville
The messy middle, the tears in the car, and why transitions don’t follow a clean timeline.

09:49 — Adventures in Georgia
Finding grounding in small moments, even when everything else feels like a lot.

10:44 — Facing Challenges + Building Resilience
How to navigate hard seasons with compassion, not pressure. And what to do when your ADHD brain freezes.

15:40 — Regulation + Self-Trust
Tiny nervous-system resets you can use when your environment (or emotions) feel too big.

23:44 — The Importance of Gratitude
Not the forced kind — the gentle, “I’m finding one small good thing today” kind.

27:37 — Final Thoughts + Coaching Invitation
A soft invitation into support if you’re craving co-regulation, momentum, and systems that don’t collapse in three days.
