Before You Add to Cart: How to Avoid Holiday Clutter (with ADHD)
Description
In this solo episode, Megs hits record to talk about the messy middle of the holidays—when ADHD brains slide into fight-or-flight, carts fill up fast, and unopened boxes blend into the clutter we’re trying to escape. She reframes gifting season as a chance to make full decisions on what comes into your home: set a compassionate budget, decide who you’re actually buying for, and ask every purchase, “Where will this live—and is it worth the trade-off?” From “hand candy” (fidget toys) to big kitchen gadgets, Megs offers grounded questions that reduce decision fatigue, protect your peace, and align spending with your real goals. It’s not about perfection; it’s about one clear choice at a time—so January you can breathe again.
