Show Notes
What if the calm you felt last Christmas wasn’t a fluke — but a clue?
In this episode, Jane responds to a listener who accidentally lost her Christmas list… and felt calmer than she ever had in December. Not because she stopped caring — but because the mental load finally dropped.
This conversation explains why ADHD mums hit capacity faster at Christmas, why letting go feels terrifying, and why you’re allowed to be done even when the list never ends.

- Why losing the list created instant calm
- The difference between dropping tasks and dropping load
- What allostatic load is — and why ADHD mums carry more of it
