This is especially true when it comes to decluttering and organizing our homes. On today’s show I’m chatting with Kori Tomelden, a woman working to minimize and organizing as an ADHD and autistic mom. It’s a new topic that I have not discussed on the show so I was excited to have Kori on and learn from her life and perspective. I have often had listeners ask me about decluttering with ADHD and while I can speak to decluttering and organizing in a very distracting world where we feel like we’re being pulling in a hundred different directions at once, I felt I needed to have an expert in the field come on to talk more about their experiences so I am delighted Kori reached out to me about being a guest. We had a wonderful conversation and I appreciate her being patient with me as we had some technical difficulties while recording. I am hoping you do not notice them, but let me just say she is a very gracious guest. Kori is a late diagnosed autistic/ADHD mom. She is currently located in Albany, NY where she is raising a neurodiverse family with her partner Kyle. Her older daughter is non-speaking autistic (and also has ADHD and Anxiety) and her youngest daughter is HSP/Gifted. A blogger, podcaster, writer, product creator, and coach; Kori shares neurodivergent family life- the highs, lows, messy, and real.
