A year ago I sold everything, organized my whole life into a 5x8 trailer, and moved across the country. There's no after picture to show you — and that's exactly the point.
In this Season 3 finale, Megs looks back on a year of navigating the messy middle: rebuilding a life in Massachusetts, decluttering an entire home in fight-or-flight mode, learning to interrupt hyperfocus before it turns into burnout, and letting go of the Pinterest-perfect kitchen for pink countertops that are exactly enough. If you've ever made a beautiful plan, watched it fall apart, and decided that meant something was wrong with you — this one's for you.
In this episode:
• Why the "before and after" picture is a lie, and what growth with ADHD actually looks like
• How to catch yourself in fight-or-flight (even mid-oven-scrub) and come back to the present
• The "shallow holes" problem: what happens when dopamine picks all your projects — and the treasure you find when you keep digging one
• Why half-assing it beats no-assing it, every time
Plans change — that's not failure, it's data. If you want to build a flexible fall plan that works with your ADHD brain, join me for the Plan Your Fall Before It Plans You workshop on August 30th: Sign up here
