Description
Productivity and Home Organization for Moms with ADHD Are you tired of feeling like the only Stay-At-Home mom who can‘t get her act together? You know you have time while the kids are gone - and you feel like you are busy - but you drift from one completely unrelated task to another, focus on things that really don‘t matter, and avoid the tasks that need to get done... Then all of the sudden you realize it is time to grab the kids and you feel that you‘ve accomplished nothing. Welcome Home! This is the Joy Loving Home Podcast. I‘m Joy Ridenour, wife, mom of 4, & unorganized professional organizer! I have a heart for ADHD moms and kids. After spending years learning and organizing for other people I realized that there is a real need to turn the concept of being well planned and organized upside down. It shouldn‘t be created by Type A, naturally organized people as a way to ”fix” you and your home! Organizing, planning & productivity should FIT the way your brain thinks. Albert Einstein said ”Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid” Well fish, lets quit trying to climb trees while being given tips by monkeys who cannot understand how our brains think. Join me in the water and learn how to swim with the current of your life! It is time to say YES to unorganized organization and flexible productivity! This podcast is for you if: * You feel trapped by rigid schedules and overwhelming to do lists. * You always feel chaotic and like you are pulled in a million directions. * You feel like you are failing to meet expectations and always letting someone down. Truth Bomb: Nothing is wrong with you! Your ADHD brain works differently than the neurotypical brain. We can learn to use the best parts of our brains to our advantage! Life doesn‘t have to be so hard, we just have to take the path less traveled. Let me be your guide. Let‘s have grace in our struggles and encouragement as we strive to make some changes that align with our family first priorities. We can stay intentionally flexible with our plans and learn to navigate life with ADHD while creating space in our lives and our homes for spontaneous joy! Join me as we work to improve our productivity and simplify our homes in new ways, together!

281: Quit Forcing the Fit: Organize for How Your Brain Actually Works
2026/10/16
Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, encourages listeners to stop trying to force rigid organizing rules onto ADHD or “fish-brain” brains. Instead of copying idealized solutions that don’t fit your life, she urges you to embrace creative, practical fixes that address the real problem—like why toys end up in the living room—and build simple, lasting habits that bring more joy to your home.

279: Are You Willfully Stuck? Break Free from Procrastination
2026/09/18
Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, explores the difference between being stuck and actively avoiding projects—especially during empty nesting—and why we often protect ourselves from failure by not starting.
She shares two practical fixes: commit to one tiny unavoidable step to unlock momentum, and use mutual accountability (like her Tackle It Tuesdays in Fish School) to keep moving.
Stay tuned for her interview with Dana K. White on beating procrastination, and remember to continue to choose joy.

278: 4 Things Keeping You Stuck - Part 4 - Not Knowing Where to Start
2026/09/04
This episode wraps a four-part series about what's keeping you stuck and tackles the common block: "I don't know where to start." Joy explains the fish‑brain vs. monkey‑advice metaphor and why rigid step-by-step plans often fail.
She shares practical strategies: create a non-linear pending list, follow the motion by choosing the most appealing small task, and reduce clutter so upkeep becomes easier. Any motion, even tiny, builds momentum toward bigger tasks.
Joy also invites listeners to try Fish School for accountability and community, offering a free week in her Facebook group to experience how shared motion helps you make real progress.

277: 4 Things Keeping You Stuck - Part 3 - The Comparison Trap
2026/09/03
Part three of a four-part series exploring why we get stuck and can’t take action on our homes. Joy examines the “comparison trap” — how doomscrolling, staged social media, perfectionism, and ADHD-related distraction keep us feeling inadequate and inaction-prone.
She gives practical, encouraging steps: take any imperfect action, make small decluttering moves, celebrate progress, and use accountability like Fish School to build momentum toward a joy-loving home.

276: 4 Things Keeping You Stuck - Part 2 - Your ADHD Brain Needs Stress
2026/09/02
Part two of a four-part series examining why we get stuck focuses on stress level—how distant or artificial deadlines don’t trigger the fish brain to act and why low stress can mean inaction even when capacity exists.
Practical strategies include embracing how your brain works: use handwritten notes, set timers, add accountability through body doubling (in-person, coffee shop, or Zoom), and try quick check-ins via tools like Voxer to create the right amount of pressure to move.
For ongoing support, the episode highlights the Fish School membership and its Tackle It Tuesdays—a judgment-free, low-cost ($10/month) group for live accountability and regular progress.

2026/09/01
In this episode Joy introduces a four-part series on the major reasons we get stuck and how to get unstuck. In part one she teaches how to recognize your daily capacity—whether youre in a low-energy "lazy river" day or a high-energy "current" day—and match tasks to that energy without guilt, using bite-sized actions that build motion and momentum.
She also highlights accountability as a key to steady progress and shares details about Fish School, her brain-friendly membership starting September 8th, designed to provide small-group support, practical strategies, and the encouragement needed to turn inspiration into consistent action.

274: Little Jolt of Joy - Dolly Parton's Lessons of Grit and Gratitude
2026/08/28
In this short Jolt of Joy episode, the host shares a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton and reflects on how her grit, gratitude, and positivity shaped the speaker’s upbringing. The episode pivots to parenting advice: resisting the urge to be a "bulldozer" parent and instead teaching children to face bumps, build resilience, and look for bright spots.
Listen for a simple reminder to choose joy, lean into life’s lessons, and help kids learn to pivot and persevere through hard times.
273: Starting Over - Declutter for the Life You’re Living - Part 2
2026/08/12
Joy, a professional organizer and mom of four, guides listeners to rethink clutter by judging items against the life they want to live now—not past memories or future ‘what ifs.’ Using a wagon analogy, she encourages small, practical steps (start with one space like a mudroom) and asks each item to “pull its own weight” in time, space, and maintenance.
The episode offers a compassionate approach for busy brains, tips for realistic decision-making, and ways to connect with Joy’s community and upcoming Fish School for ongoing support.

Tune in for actionable questions to guide decisions about what to keep, what to buy, and how to set someone up for a calm, functional start.

268: Midyear Reset: One-and-Done Tasks to Conquer the Rest of 2026
2026/07/02
Today is July 2, 2026 — the exact halfway point of the year with 26 weeks left. This episode introduces the "26 for 26" idea: make a list of 26 one-and-done goals you can complete one per week through the end of the year.
Focus on small, achievable tasks that give immediate satisfaction and build momentum (Joy shares scheduling an overdue eye appointment as an example). The approach is ADHD-friendly and emphasizes progress over perfection.
Dust off any lists you already made, add at least one quick win you can do now, and enjoy checking items off as you move toward a joy-loving home.
