You're listening to the decluttered mom podcast. A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom. I'm your host, Diana Renee. And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home. Okay, not literally,

but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,

I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back. I kind of feel like I hacked the mom system,

and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.

Welcome to another episode of the decluttered mom podcast. I feel like that is a tongue twister.

And the amount of times I have had to start over my intro when I record these episodes,

first week that it actually feels like summer. And it is mid-June. Here in Colorado. It has rained nonstop for literally months,

like two months, maybe even longer than that, which is great because we have high fire risks

in the summer. I don't know where you are listening to this, but in the mountains, in Colorado, and even a couple years ago, we had a fire that went into the out of the mountains, into the foothills, even past the foothills, and into like the suburbs of Boulder, essentially.

If you're from here, you know that that location is not completely

100% accurate. It's not technically a suburb of Boulder. But if you are not from Colorado,

then just to give you the general idea is like the suburbs around Boulder, there was a really

awful fire that spread. the fire hit. Like, I think it was,

don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure it was like over a thousand homes. And it just was
