In this Thanksgiving-week episode of Organizing an ADHD Brain, I’m inviting you into a very real season of my life — the messy middle of moving across the country with my husband, and everything that stirred up inside me.If you’re someone who feels every life transition deep in your nervous system — the overwhelm, the freeze, the “this is too much and also I’m glad I’m doing it” duality — this episode is for you.
