Why We Keep Stuff: ADHD, Clutter & Emotional Mismanagement with Dr. Regina Lark

Is your clutter really about laziness—or something deeper? In this episode of ADHD Eavesdrop, Janine chats with Dr. Regina Lark, author, speaker, and founder of A Clear Path. Together, they explore the profound connection between ADHD, executive function, and clutter.

Dr. Lark unpacks how emotional mismanagement, time blindness, and perception influence our ability to part with things. You’ll hear powerful strategies for reclaiming your space—without shame—and why understanding your brain is the first step toward letting go.

Whether you're drowning in stuff or just curious about why you can’t throw away that old sweater, this episode offers compassion, clarity, and some good laughs.
