0:00.0	You're listening to the Decluttered Mom podcast.
0:09.9	A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom.
0:14.3	I'm your host, Diana Renee.
0:15.9	And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home. Okay, not literally,
0:23.5	but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me. Over the next 10 months,
0:30.5	I got rid of approximately 70% of our household belongings and I have never looked back.
0:39.6	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.

1:53.4	that you are dealing with, or if you're just interested about something, I'm able to kind of go
1:59.4	through and answer those. So it's just a fun thing. But another nice aspect about it is that it gives me ideas for the podcast.
2:06.9	Because if I start to see like trends in questions and I'm like, hey, that is something that I should just expand on in the podcast.
2:15.2	And so today's episode kind of was born from and ask me anything.
