Conquer the
Holidays with ADHD

The Organized Holiday Workshop Series

Why the Most Wonderful Time of the Year can Feel Like the Worst

Does this sound familiar?

The holidays are supposed to be magical. But if you have ADHD, they often feel like running a marathon through molasses while everyone else strolls through a winter wonderland.

You're not failing at the holidays. The holidays are failing you. They demand precisely the executive functions that ADHD makes challenging: planning ahead, managing multiple simultaneous tasks, making decisions under pressure, and regulating emotions during stress.

The Stress Spiral

Overwhelm replaces joy as your brain floods with cortisol instead of dopamine. Simple decisions—which gift to buy, what dish to bring—become impossible choices that drain your already-limited executive function.

The Time Trap

Time blindness whispers "there's still plenty of time" until you blink and it's December 23rd. Late-night wrapping sessions at 2 AM become your tradition, not by choice, but because that's when panic finally creates urgency.

The Boundary Breakdown

You say yes to everything out of guilt or FOMO, overcommitting until your calendar becomes a Tetris game with no room for rest. You're physically present at events but mentally planning the next thing, unable to enjoy the moment.

The Space Struggle

Holiday decorations and gifts compound your existing chaos. Without systems for managing the influx, you spend more time searching for things—tape, gifts you bought last week, party invitations—than actually accomplishing tasks.

The Cleanup

January hits with credit card bills, decorations you're too exhausted to put away, and hollow promises that "next year will be different."

Here's what you need to know: It doesn't have to be this way.

Why This Workshop Series is Your Holiday Game-Changer

Finally, Holiday Strategies That Work WITH Your ADHD Brain

Most holiday guidance is designed for neurotypical brains. Make lists! Plan ahead! Just … stay organized! If that sort of self-talk worked for you, you'd already be doing it. This workshop is different because it's built on how ADHD brains actually function—not how we wish they functioned.

From Overwhelm to Clarity

We break down holiday chaos into manageable chunks your brain can actually process. You'll get clear decision-making frameworks that cut through analysis paralysis, plus something you rarely hear: permission to simplify and focus on what truly matters to YOU. Not your mother-in-law's expectations. Not Pinterest perfection. You.

Body Doubling = Things Actually Getting DONE

Information without implementation is just more mental clutter. That's why each week includes one hour of structured body doubling time. You'll work alongside others, harnessing your brain's social motivation to get things done. This isn't about collecting tips to try "someday." Progress happens during the workshop, in real time, with real results.

Personalized Support

Your ADHD isn't identical to anyone else's, and your holidays shouldn't be either. Live Q&A sessions address your specific challenges. A judgment-free community that actually gets it. And the flexibility to adapt every strategy to your unique brain, life, and situation.

You'll leave each session with completed tasks, not just good intentions.

  • Guided holiday prep strategies that work WITH your ADHD – No more generic advice that leaves you feeling broken. These are practical, tested approaches designed for how your brain actually works.

  • Holiday Preparation Guide with visual checklists and templates – Your external brain for the season. Decision fatigue? Solved. Forgotten tasks? Caught. Overwhelm? Managed. Everything you need in formats that make sense to your ADHD brain.

  • Recordings of all sessions (because we know life happens) – Missed a session? Internet glitched? Need to review something? Every session is recorded so you can access the content when and how you need it. No guilt, no pressure, no falling behind.

What You’ll Get

Each week includes:

  • 60-minute workshop with clear, actionable strategies – No fluff, no overwhelm, no 47-step processes. Just straightforward approaches you can actually use, presented in a way that keeps your ADHD brain engaged.

  • 1-hour body doubling session to implement what you learned – Learn it, then DO it. Same day. With support. This is where the magic happens—turning ideas into actual completed tasks while your motivation is still high.

  • Zero judgment, maximum support – Forgot to do last week's prep? Show up anyway. Need to work on something different than planned? That's fine. This is a shame-free zone where your reality is welcomed, not judged.

How It Works

The result? You'll finish this workshop with your holiday prep actually done, not just planned.
