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.

Hello and welcome to another episode of the decluttered mom podcast. Today I am going off script a bit and focusing a little bit more on something that's been very helpful for me lately. And when I was first thinking about this topic idea, I was thinking, well, like, I don't know if this kind of fits really under the umbrella of all of the things I talk about on here.

But the more I thought about it, I was like, you know what?

This is probably something that every single person listening to this episode right now could use at least some of it. And so

we're just going to roll with it. Okay. So I am without going into too much detail, I am going

through a health thing right now. And keeping my heart rate and blood pressure down is important for this.

And so one of the things that I've been really trying to work on is just kind of managing my nervous system, which honestly, you guys, like 2025, I could have used this anyways, even if I didn't have this whole thing going on, because I just

feel like my nervous system is frazzled a lot because I take in like countless information that's

negative and scary and divisive and all of the things every day. It feels like, you know,

I mean, honestly, like not even every day. It's like every five seconds because if you're on

TikTok or Instagram or really any social media and you're scrolling through and we have very,

you know, short attention spans.

We're getting hit with potentially like 60 bad news bits in like a two minute time period.

So it's just it's a lot.

I don't think anyone living in 2025 will say like, oh, no, I'm good.

Like, I'm totally zen.

Maybe.

Maybe you're out there.

Like, what are you talking about?
