Ep 143: Stop the Mom Guilt Cycle with Decluttering and Organizing Your Home with Kori Tomelden
In our time crunched lives as moms, we can get caught up in the cycle of guilt because we have high standards and even higher expectations. 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.
