    Delegation is hard, y’all—especially when you have ADHD. In this episode, I’m diving into why asking for help feels so impossible.

I’ll also share the strategies I’ve learned to make delegation actually work, from building trust to creating ADHD-friendly systems that free up your time and energy. If you’re tired of doing it all on your own (or just need some encouragement), this episode is for you. Let’s move from overwhelm to empowerment together!

    Episode 9: Room to Breathe – Creating ADHD-Friendly Spaces

    This week, I’m tackling a topic that’s all too familiar—our spaces. If your desk is a disaster, your kitchen feels like chaos, or your bedroom floor looks more like a closet, you’re not alone. I get it because I’ve been there too. In this episode, I’m sharing my own messy journey and how I’ve learned to stop fighting against my ADHD tendencies. Instead, I’ve found ways to work with them. We’ll talk about practical tips for creating spaces that actually support you—from simple systems to cut down clutter to ADHD-friendly zones that make life feel a little easier. This isn’t about perfection or impressing anyone else. It’s about giving yourself grace, finding what works for you, and creating a home that feels like a breath of fresh air. Let’s get real, get creative, and figure out how to make your space work for your unique brain.

I’ll share what I’m learning about setting boundaries, saying “no,” and choosing myself so I can show up better for everyone else. Join me as we unpack how working smarter (not harder!) means letting go of perfection, embracing the messy bits, and leaning on the people who want to help.
