From Perfect to Possible: Rethinking Perfectionism, Shame, & Home Care
Description
For many adults with ADHD, home organization and management are deeply tied to self-worth, identity, and internal narratives. Perfectionism often fuels the belief that if something cannot be done "right," it should not be done at all—leading to overwhelm, avoidance, and shame spirals. When a home feels out of control, negative self-talk follows, reinforcing a cycle of frustration and self-criticism.
This session reframes the relationship between ADHD, perfectionism, and home management, shifting the focus from impossible standards to realistic, flexible systems that build confidence. By combining cutting-edge research on ADHD, executive function, and self-compassion with real-life, ADHD-friendly strategies, attendees will learn how to release shame and create a home that feels manageable, functional, and uniquely theirs.
Attendees will leave with:
• A new perspective on ADHD, perfectionism, and home organization.
• Science-backed strategies to replace the all-or-nothing perspective with progress-based approaches.
• Practical, ADHD-friendly home systems that prioritize ease and sustainability over perfection.
By shifting expectations from perfect to possible, home life—and all aspects of life—can become more peaceful, more functional, and far less overwhelming.
