Summary
Thanksgiving can feel like a sensory marathon for ADHD women, even when we love parts of it. In this episode, Jess and Jeannine break down why the day can be both comforting and overwhelming logistics, invisible labor, family dynamics, and the pressure to “hold it all together.” They explore different ADHD holiday styles, from cooking marathons to minimal-effort gatherings, and offer grounded ways to simplify the day without losing what matters. If you’ve ever wished the holiday came with fewer expectations and more breathing room, this conversation will feel like relief. This is a calm, honest look at creating a version of Thanksgiving that works for your brain not the one the world assumes you should manage.
