ADHD messes are something many of us struggle with, but how much of our messes are mired in shame and other people's expectations? As opposed to our own sensibilities, sensitivities, and creative needs?

I can't promise that this episode will solve your messes overnight. In fact, I can promise that it WON'T solve your messes overnight, because we don't do overnight solutions here at The Spiral Lab (hint: they are always false promises and they never work). But we have some thoughts about how you might begin learning more about your messes—why they're there, what purpose they serve, and how you might begin to manage them more effectively, and most importantly, on your own terms.

The Spiral Lab is a collaboration between Marta Rose and Jesse Meadows, two neurodivergent, disabled artists trying to make a living as content creators who support other neurodivergent creatives.
