Ever feel like you’re doing dishes, folding laundry, and picking up toys but your house still feels messy? You’re not alone. It’s exhausting to feel like you’re trying so hard and not seeing a difference.

This week on The Gentle Reset, we’re talking about why doing “everything” doesn’t work and how to choose the right home task for your brain and energy instead. Let’s make things simpler, not harder.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt…

• Like you’re constantly behind no matter how much you do

• Overwhelmed by daily home tasks that never seem to end

• Stuck in all-or-nothing mode and don’t know where to start

...this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why chasing a perfectly “done” home leads to burnout

• The myth of keeping up with everything

• How to pick the one task that makes the biggest impact

• A mindset shift that helped a client go from stuck to motivated

If you’ve ever felt like the mess in your home is somehow your fault… like no matter how hard you try, it just doesn’t stay organized… you’re not alone.

This week on The Gentle Reset, we’re talking about the real reason ADHD women often carry shame around clutter and home tasks and why that shame only makes things harder. I’ll walk you through one powerful mindset shift, a practical nightly routine that helps me wake up to less chaos, and a personal story of how I stopped chasing perfection and found systems that actually work when it comes to cleaning up toys.

This one’s for you if you’ve ever felt stuck, discouraged, or like you’re the only one struggling.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt…

• “Why can’t I keep up like everyone else?”

• Like your home is a reflection of your worth

• Stuck in guilt, frustration, or overwhelm when things get messy

...this episode is for you.

In this episode, I talk about…

• Why shame doesn’t lead to progress (and what actually helps instead)

• What ADHD-friendly organizing really looks like

• A simple 15-minute nightly reset that calms the chaos

• The dumping bin effect and how I changed our toy system

• Why less is more when it comes to kids and clutter

In this kickoff episode of The Gentle Reset, I’m sharing how clutter used to completely overwhelm me and what finally helped me break the cycle.

As a former OT and a mom of two, I know what it’s like to feel exhausted by your space. You’ll get a behind the scenes look at how I went from overwhelmed and overstimulated to downsizing our home and building ADHD-friendly systems that actually work.

Small steps really can lead to big change.

🎧 If you’ve ever felt like you’re failing at home management or tired of keeping up with a house that feels too big and too full… this one’s for you.

In this episode, I talk about:

• How ADHD and clutter can lead to decision fatigue and burnout

• Why starting small helped me finally make progress

• The moment I realized we didn’t need all that space

• Our move from 3000 sq ft to 1600 sq ft

• Simple systems that changed everything for my home
