Home Organization for Neurodivergent Individuals with Alyssa's Yellow House

06/25/24 • 46 min

Sara welcomes Alyssa from Alyssa's Yellow House, an expert in neurodivergent home organization. Alyssa shares her personal journey from struggling with traditional home organization methods to creating a personalized approach after discovering her own neurodivergence.

She now helps others with ADHD, Autism, OCD, and more by providing tailored strategies, tools, and routines to manage their homes effectively. Alyssa emphasizes that mainstream advice often fails to consider the unique needs of neurodivergent individuals, and she advocates for creating intuitive, personalized systems. The conversation covers various practical tips, including the importance of routines over habits, understanding children’s organizational needs, and rethinking storage solutions to reduce frustration.

Whether formally diagnosed or exhibiting neurodivergent tendencies, Alyssa’s guidance is aimed at replacing stress and shame with peace and ease for a broader audience.
