Diagnosed at five with ADHD and raising three neurodivergent kids, Amy brings both lived experience and practical strategies for building rhythms that actually work for the ADHD brain.

Together we talk about:

If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD brain is working against you, this episode will help you see that it’s not broken - it just needs the right strategies and support to thrive.

Do you struggle to let go of things because you see a potential use for them?

While our desire not to be wasteful is often rooted in positive values such as resourcefulness, frugality, and environmental responsibility, there are three cognitive biases that skew these values to cause us to hold onto what is no longer serving us.

In today’s episode, we’ll dive into them and teach you how to reframe your thoughts so you can make decluttering easier.

If you are a mom with ADHD who constantly feels like she’s failing when it comes to managing your home, this episode is for you.

In Episode 199 I’m chatting with Stacey Hutson and Stephanie Sprenger, two ADHD moms of four girls ages 4-18 are the hosts of the Mother Plus podcast, a podcast for moms with ADHD--for "too much" moms who feel like they are failing at motherhood and don't want to fail anymore.

We talk about how ADHD brains experience clutter differently, how to work with your brain when it’s wired for interest rather than importance, and the critical foundation you NEED to have in place before you start decluttering.

Have you ever wanted to style your home and you went to HomeGoods or Target without a plan, only to buy a bunch of stuff that ends up becoming clutter?

It is possible to elevate your home’s look WITHOUT trips to the store or wasting money on things that don’t align with your true style and home aesthetic.

Today I’m talking to return guest Dani Watson - wife, boy mom and former first grade teacher turned home decorator and host of the fig + farm at home podcast. Dani is on a mission to teach REAL moms with REAL budgets how to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap in order to create homes that they delight in...all on a budget.

We talk about the importance of understanding the foundation of your style and color palette BEFORE you ever use your credit card and why this is so critical to creating a home you love.

She also takes us step-by-step through the process of styling a bookshelf, something I never knew I needed!
