🎵 Hi. I’m Angela… Queen of Focus-ish.

Which is ironic, because I once tried to find a power cord and ended up reorganizing the entire kitchen, pantry, and possibly my sense of self.

I’ve spent the last five days decluttering my house. Every cabinet. Every closet. Every expired bottle of optimism labeled “Ashwagandha.”

Turns out, if you ask an ADHD brain to throw away vitamins, it will hesitate. Not because they’re useful. But because you paid for them. During a phase. Possibly at 2 a.m. after watching one too many Instagram reels that promised “clarity and emotional peace” in a capsule.

And now I have a vitamin graveyard.

I should make a memorial shelf. With a candle.

“To all the supplements I never remembered to take… we barely knew ye.”

[Sound: tiny ghost vitamin voice: “Take me with food…”]

Anyway. The closets.

There is nothing more spiritual than cleaning out a linen closet that has not been touched since Obama’s second term.

You find things.

Like mystery cords that don’t connect to anything made in this decade.

And paperwork that feels like a ghost of your most ambitious self.

And swag. SO MUCH SWAG.

Regional burner swag.

Glittery name tags from events I don’t remember attending.

Half-melted lip balm labeled “Radical Self-Care 2018.”

I should start a podcast just for that.

“Swag Spiral: What Is This and Why Did I Keep It?”

Tagline: One trinket. One memory. One emotional crisis at a time.

[inhale]

But you know what happened in all that chaos?

I found clarity.

Because while I was scrubbing, sorting, and whispering apologies to my spice rack, I was dancing to songs I forgot I loved.

Voice-recording book ideas.

Writing blog posts in my head.

Feeling… dare I say… proud?

Because here’s the truth:

I used to think I was a disorganized mess.

Turns out, I’m just… a glitter tornado of intention.

So if you’re standing in front of your office like it’s a cursed temple…

If your vitamin shelf is one wrong breath from collapsing like a Jenga tower of regrets…

If you opened one drawer and ended up emotionally reliving your entire 20s…

You’re not alone.

You’re just part of the Squirrel Squad.

We’re focused.

Ish.

Welcome to your new favorite spiral.

🎵 [Theme music: playful like a glockenspiel playing musical chairs with a jazz trio]

Hi. I’m Angela.

And welcome… to Doom Piles & Distractions.

A comedy of errors, closets, and chaos, hosted by me: The Queen of Focus-ish.

Now listen. I know there are already podcasts out there that promise life hacks, perfect morning routines, capsule wardrobes, minimalist pantries with mason jars that all match…

This isn’t that.

This is the podcast where I try to clean my kitchen drawer and end up emotionally spiraling in a linen closet.

Where I open a cabinet and suddenly remember a dream I had in 2006.

Where I sort through a pile of craft supplies I forgot I owned, while being gently bullied by a squirrel named Snacky.

You’re not here for productivity.

You’re here for permission.

To be a little chaotic.

To be brilliant and distracted.

To laugh at your doom piles while labeling them “Someday-ish.”

💫 What This Podcast Actually Is:

• It’s a love letter to the way ADHD brains organize things emotionally, not alphabetically
  
  
• It’s a confessional booth for craft guilt, expired vitamins, and emotional paperwork
  
  
• It’s an audio journal from the spiral — where instead of getting lost, we find clarity in the mess

And yes, there will be tangents.

There will be loops.

There will be stories that I start and don’t finish until three episodes later.

[Whispering] …Maybe.

There will also be:

• ✨ Surprise insights
  
  
• 🎤 Voice notes from past versions of myself
  
  
• 🐿️ Squirrel side characters who are too real
  
  
• And spontaneous moments of brilliance I catch in a voice memo because I cannot be trusted to remember it later
  
  

🧠 Who Is This For?

If you’ve ever:

• Started organizing a drawer and ended up with three reorganized rooms and one emotional breakthrough
  
  
• Bought vitamins because of a sponsored Instagram reel but never opened the bottle
  
  
• Avoided your office like it’s haunted — but then cried when you found a sticky note that still believes in you…
  
  

You are so in the right place.

You are one of us.

The Squirrel Squad.

The label-loving, chaos-taming, glitter-cursed humans trying to make sense of the mess without erasing the magic.

🎉 What to Expect:

Every episode will be short-ish.

Sometimes funny.

Sometimes emotional.

Always real.

And probably recorded right after I cleaned something and had a realization in the shower.

We’re gonna talk:

• Paperwork piles
  
  
• Burn swag boxes
  
  
• Craft guilt drawers
  
  
• Vision boards
  
  
• Labeling rituals
  
  
• Closet portals
  
  
• And why sometimes, the best way to clear your head… is to clean a junk drawer
  
  

We’re not fixing ourselves here.

We’re witnessing ourselves.

And if you forget to listen for six weeks?

It’s fine.

We’ll still be here. Covered in glitter. Probably reorganizing the bathroom.

🎵 Subscribe to Doom Piles & Distractions.

Because focus isn’t a straight line.

It’s a loop. A detour. A doom pile with a label on it.

And in that pile?

Is the story you were meant to tell.

"The Master in the Art of Living makes little distinction between their work and their play, their labor and their leisure, their mind and their body, their education and their recreation, their love and their religion. They hardly know which is which. They simply pursue their vision of excellence in whatever they do, leaving others to decide whether they are working or playing. To them, they are always doing both."

Where in your life, are you able to be more of a master? Are their areas of your life that feel disconnected? Can they somehow work together to give you a better mastery of living?
