The Organised Life Podcast with Rhiannan Morgan

Whether my week flows smoothly or completely falls apart has very little to do with motivation — and almost everything to do with the systems I put in place beforehand.  In this video, I’m sharing the weekly planning systems I use as an ADHD mum of four autistic children to reduce chaos, avoid burnout, and make the week feel calmer and more manageable.  This isn’t about hustle, perfection, or rigid routines — it’s about reducing decision fatigue, supporting an ADHD brain, and setting your future self up for success.   ➡️ Free Organised Weekly Planning System Checklist - https://mummyoffour.com/planweek   ➡️ Free Neuro-Sparkly Community + Resource Library https://mummyoffour.com/join   ➡️ Kitchen Organisation Station – Free Printables & Guide - https://mummyoffour.com/organisationstation   ➡️ Organised Life Binder Setup Guide (A5 Mini Binder) - https://mummyoffour.com/binder 📒 Organised Life Club (OLC) -  https://www.rhiannanmorgan.com/joinolc

If you think your child might be showing signs of autism, it can be hard to know what to do next. In this video, I share the practical steps I would take if I were at the very start of this journey, from understanding the assessment pathway to gathering information and supporting your child before a diagnosis. 📧 FREE 100 Signs Of Autism Guide - https://mummyoffour.com/100asd ♾️ Autism Journey Journal & Workshop For Parents - https://www.rhiannanmorgan.com/offers/BzKJEQvg 🫶 Join the Organised Life Club & get access to the Austin resources, planning workshops, routine resources & more - https://mummyoffour.com/joinolc

If motivation feels like an iPhone battery that runs out fast (especially with ADHD), this episode is for you. I’m sharing the daily systems and routines I’ve put in place as an ADHD mum in a neurodiverse home so I don’t have to rely on motivation to get things done.

Feeling like you can only do life when a random burst of motivation appears? As an ADHD mum in a very neuro-sparkly family, I just cannot rely on motivation any more. In this episode I’m sharing how I set up my environment and habits so that the right things are easy to do and the unhelpful things are harder to fall into. From cleaning supplies in every bathroom, to basket systems, go shoes, walking pad miles, phone limits, screen time boundaries, water bottle habits and uniform stations… these are the real-life systems that support my messy ADHD brain every day. We’re also talking about habit design, future-you thinking, making good habits cute and attractive, and adding tiny bits of friction to the habits you’re trying to break. ⭐ Mentioned in this episode ➡️ Calm Start Routine Guide – http://mummyoffour.com/routine ➡️ Organised Weekly Planning System Checklist – https://mummyoffour.com/PlanWeek ➡️ Mini Binder Setup Guide – https://www.rhiannanmorgan.com/binder ➡️ iPhone Parental Controls Video – https://youtu.be/Smyo1c0_TB4  If you’d love help building systems, routines and habits that actually work for your neurodiverse family, come and join me inside the Organised Life Club - my membership for overwhelmed mums who want a calmer, more organised home and life. ➡️ Join the OLC - https://mummyoffour.com/joinolc Thanks so much for tuning in.

Would you ever tell a friend you think their child might have autism? In this episode I share why my answer is usually no, what happens when you finally learn the signs of autism and start seeing them everywhere, and how the “wheel of acceptance” explains why some parents simply are not ready to hear it yet. If you are torn between staying quiet and speaking up, or you are in the middle of the autism assessment journey yourself, this honest chat will help you feel less alone and give you some practical ideas for what to do instead.  Free resources mentioned Free 100 Signs Of Autism printable – https://mummyoffour.com/100asd Free community and resource library for neuro sparkly families – https://rhiannanmorgan.com/join Watch next – autism signs and assessment Signs Of Autism To Look Out For In Children – https://youtu.be/Mt5Eua3CTCE Autism Signs, Assessment And Support Playlist – https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLP7SPoJ1ortsTOlUwQT_szdkMv3MlEXI6 Our family’s autism journey Honest Conversation With Our Eldest About His Autism Assessment As A Teen – https://youtu.be/x8Eg3_gTDzU

If you’re a mum in a neuro-sparkly family, you’ll know that meltdowns can be incredibly hard — for our children and for us. I’ve talked before about what helps during a meltdown, but in this video I’m sharing how I try to avoid them before they start.While we can’t completely prevent autism meltdowns, there are so many strategies we can put in place to minimise them and help our children feel calmer, more supported, and understood. In this chat, I cover:🧠 Identifying triggers and early warning signs📓 Journalling patterns with the Autism Journey Journal💬 Building strong communication with your child’s school🎯 Using the Emotional Guidance Scale and Zones of Regulation🕒 Creating realistic routines and buffer time🌿 Minimising sensory overload and overscheduling💗 Empowering our kids to notice their own feelings and regulate themselves This isn’t about bubble-wrapping our children — it’s about giving them the tools to recognise how they feel, ask for help, and find their calm. ✨ Helpful links mentioned: 🩵 100 Signs of Autism Free Download: https://mummyoffour.com/100asd  💙 Organised Life Club: https://mummyoffour.com/joinolc
