25: Releasing Shame When Decluttering with ADHD with Elena Willitts

from Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living · host Cloud10

Our brains don't all work the same way, so we won't have the same experience decluttering and managing our homes! Elena Willits, host of the Kind Organizing Podcast, shares her own experience with ADHD and how it has shown up in her journey to create a peaceful living space. With vulnerability and practicality, Elena talks us through feelings of shame many of us experience when we can't seem to stay on top of our homes, along with how she's developed practices and routines that allow her to enjoy a home that is well lived-in, but not overwhelming.
