0:00.0	You're listening to the decluttered mom podcast.
0:10.0	A podcast built specifically for busy moms by a busy mom.
0:14.3	I'm your host, Diana Renee.
0:16.0	And in 2017, I had my second daughter and it felt like I was literally drowning in my home.
0:22.7	Okay, not literally, but I felt like I couldn't breathe with all of the stuff surrounding me.
0:29.0	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
0:40.2	and I'm here to share all the tips, tricks, and encouragement. Let's listen to today's show.
0:49.9	Hello and welcome to another episode of the decluttered mom podcast. I'm actually recording this the day before it comes out. And so it is September 1st when I'm recording this. And I feel like for whatever reason, this feels like a big day to me in the scope of the year. It almost feels like a January 1st redo in my eyes.
1:15.2	And it's funny because it's not the beginning of the fourth quarter where it would feel like,

1:59.9	the year. And it's just kind of a reminder of like,
2:03.3	what did I start this year out wanting to do? Who did I want to be? Who did I? What things did I want to
2:11.4	accomplish? What did I want to optimize in all parts of my life? But for this podcast, specifically like within the home, what did I want to
2:20.9	do? Have I done that? And if not, then September 1st is nice because it's not like December 1st,
2:29.8	where you only have one month and you have a major holiday to figure out in the meantime, right?
2:36.0	With September 1st, you have September, you have October, you have November, and you have
