Guest expert: Navigating Adult ADHD with Xena Jones.
Xena is a New Zealand based ADHD and Life Coach. We have been swimming around in the same circles, and both featured in the TVNZ Documentary ‘Not Just Hyper”. Xena invited me on the podcast for a chat about home organisation, and ADHD. My special interest!
Below is a brief episode description from Xena.
In this episode, I'm joined by Carrie Lagerstedt, Professional Home Organiser, Declutter Coach, and fellow ADHDer, to talk about why home organisation is especially challenging for ADHD brains — and how we can make it easier.
We dive into:
• Why ADHDers struggle with clutter & organisation (hello, "out of sight, out of mind")
• How clutter = a giant visual to-do list that overwhelms our brains
• Why laziness has nothing to do with it
• ADHD-friendly organising strategies you can start using right away
• How to get unstuck when you don't even know where to begin
Carrie also shares her personal ADHD story, why she calls herself an "organised person but not a tidy person," and how she helps busy families, overworked mums, and neurodivergent folks create calm, functional spaces they actually want to be in.
