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,

even though it's really not.

Like if you are really struggling with something and you just

like are constantly telling yourself that everything's okay and everything's perfect, I don't

think that really helps anyone. But I do think that there are times that we can use tools to be

able to just shift our perspective a little bit because sometimes that's all it

is. Sometimes our perspective is just a little bit off and we need to like fly up and look at

the situation from a 30,000, you know, like bird's eye, like airplane view versus being in it and not being able to see anything except for the hard

thing not sleeping all night because the baby is up crying or the toddler is coming into your bed
