In this episode of Grandma Has ADHD, we dive into ADHD challenges and move management, exploring how both intersect to make moving, decluttering, and organizing feel overwhelming. However, with the right support, these challenges can absolutely be managed.

Jami’s Personal ADHD Experience

Host Jami Shapiro shares her personal experience living with ADHD. As a result, she explains how challenges like executive dysfunction, decision fatigue, time blindness, and emotional overwhelm can complicate even simple daily tasks. Naturally, these difficulties become even more intense during a major life event like moving.

Fortunately, there is help. Jami describes how move management services provide practical solutions for adults, seniors, busy professionals, and families. By breaking big projects into smaller, actionable steps, these services reduce stress and create sustainable organization.
