Ever feel like the clutter and endless to-dos are winning? You’re not alone, and today I’m diving into the why behind those struggles—and how to overcome them—with Dr. Ann Louise Lockhart. We’re talking about ADHD, executive function, and what makes seemingly simple tasks like laundry or decluttering feel overwhelming for so many of us.

Dr. Lockhart shares why tasks like “clean your room” or “just get started” are harder than they seem, especially if ADHD or executive functioning challenges are in play. She gives us practical, no-fluff strategies for reducing overwhelm and building systems that actually work—whether it’s for you or your kids. If you’ve ever thought, Why is this so hard for me when it seems easy for everyone else? this episode is for you.

Here’s What We Cover:
  • What ADHD really looks like in adults (hint: it’s not just about focus).
  • Why executive functioning is the hidden key to organizing and decision-making.
  • Strategies to break big tasks down so they feel less overwhelming.
  • How to support kids—and yourself—through collaboration and curiosity instead of shame.
  • Simple resets, body doubling, and externalizing tasks to stay on top of it all.

Dr. Lockhart also shares why shame and overwhelm can keep us stuck, how to combat those emotions, and actionable steps to build habits that stick.
