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.

All right, so I am excited for today's episode because we have Elisa, who is someone that I met on Instagram, which feels like every guest I bring on here is a friend that I've met through Instagram.

And she is all about cleaning and how to keep a clean home.

And her account is one that I really value because there are so many things that I don't

know. I'm like, I don't know how to clean this. And so I will scroll through her videos and check

them out. And I always get great ideas. So I wanted to welcome you, Elisa, to the podcast.

Thank you. Can you just share a little bit about yourself and how you got in,

you know, like you have quite a big Instagram account about cleaning. Like how did this,

how did this whole thing happen? Yeah. We, I started on Instagram as like we were DIYers,

me and my husband. And we bought this house and we call it our money pit. We bought it from

an older couple that had lived here a really long time. So they had really big dogs and a cat and

their adult daughter was living upstairs with her adult kids. Okay. And they actually hadn't been upstairs in like five years because they were in wheelchairs.

Okay.

So, I mean, you had the pet smell and you had the older person smell.

And when we first saw the house, we didn't even talk about it.
