Holiday Overwhelm Hits Different With ADHD — Here’s What to Watch For

The holiday season is supposed to feel joyful … but for ADHD adults, it often feels like someone cranked the overwhelm dial to expert mode. In this episode, we’re breaking down why December hits ADHD brains so hard, the hidden traps that make everything feel more stressful, and the simple shifts that help you protect your time, energy, and sanity.

We’ll cover:

  1. Why holiday overload hits faster and stronger when you have ADHD
  2. The sneaky ADHD “overwhelm triggers” to look out for
  3. Why saying yes feels easier in the moment but harder in the long run
  4. How people-pleasing, time blindness, perfectionism, and emotional load collide this month
  5. A few simple, ADHD-friendly ways to reduce stress (without needing to become a new person)
