Yep, it's true!

In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the surprising connection between a cluttered environment and sleep quality. As a new mom, I realized just how crucial sleep is and how clutter made it even harder to get the rest I needed.

0:07.4	podcast. If you found yourself caught up in the hamster wheel of modern day motherhood and want to
0:13.9	rewrite the script, congratulations you're in the right place. I'm here to be your guide and help you
0:20.1	take back your motherhood
0:21.3	and achieve a simpler, more joy-filled life. Cheers to being a maximized minimalist. Enjoy the show.
0:29.7	I don't know about you, but after I became a mom in 2015, sleep became such a important resource,

1:45.1	too many programs running at once, it starts to slow down and become less efficient. So clutter is like
1:51.4	those extra programs. It's constantly running in the background and using up your brain's resources.
