Summary

The holidays come with expectations and for ADHD women, those expectations often collide with real-life capacity. In this episode of Angry on the Inside, Jess and Jeannine talk about why holiday pressure, perfectionism, and “shoulds” hit ADHD brains so hard, and how the stress we think we’re hiding is often felt by everyone around us. A grounded, validating conversation about letting go of unrealistic expectations and redefining what a good enough holiday actually looks like.
