    We live in a world that constantly tells us more is better: more products, more content, more choices, more stimulation. For many people, this is background noise. But for those of us who are highly sensitive (HSPs) or neurodivergent, including those with ADHD, autism, anxiety, or sensory processing differences, overconsumption doesn’t just clutter our homes.
