If December already feels like you’re sprinting through wet concrete, this episode is your deep breath. Christmas asks ADHD mums to hold the magic and the mess — late-night wrapping, invisible labour, the Boxing Day guilt hangover — and still somehow feel like we’re not doing enough.

This is the story of the year Jane finally said: good enough is enough. And maybe this is the year you get to say it too.

💡 What We Cover

  • Why ADHD brains don’t recognise ‘done’
  • The difference between maximising vs satisficing (and why one burns you out)
  • The ADHD tax of “perfect Christmas” expectations
  • How our reward loop drives over-performing and overwhelm
  • How to recognise your internal ding — when good enough is actually safe

💬 For You If

  • You’re carrying the emotional load + logistics + all the extras no one sees
  • You keep adding “just one more thing” to your already impossible list
  • You feel guilty resting, stopping, or being less “magical”
  • You need permission to drop the bar, not raise it

🎄 Resources & Mentions

Festive F*ck It Plan — your calm, realistic December planner

📘 The Paradox of Choice — Barry Schwartz on maximisers vs satisficers

🆓 Free Resource: The Energy Accounting PDF
