The ADHD Stuck Cycle: What Keeps You Looping and What Actually Shifts It
Manage episode 523291695 series 3604449
You know that moment when you walk into a room and your whole body reacts before your brain even has time to make sense of it? That’s what today’s episode is really about, how clutter hits the nervous system first, and how that shapes everything from motivation to avoidance to why that one corner has been haunting you for months.
In this episode, I’m sharing the real, lived experience behind regulation, what it is, why it matters, and how it changes the way ADHD women interact with their homes. We walk through each protection pattern (fight, flight, freeze, appease) in a way that helps you see yourself with clarity instead of shame.
You’ll hear more about my own journey with understanding regulation, the resources that shifted everything for me, and why this work matters so much if you’ve spent years thinking, “Why can’t I just do this?”
My mission: to help you rebuild self-trust, one tiny regulated moment at a time.
If this episode resonates, I’d love to hear where clutter shows up in your nervous system. Your stories help other women feel less alone.
