She emphasises that what is often labeled as laziness is actually a result of various factors such as executive dysfunction, overwhelm, and burnout. Heather encourages listeners to reframe their understanding of laziness as a signal that something needs to change rather than a personal flaw and how that can help with finding solutions in your home. She offers practical strategies for managing energy levels and decluttering effectively, advocating for self-kindness and understanding in the process.
