Summary
Feeling overwhelmed by clutter, whether it’s in your home or your mind? You’re not alone! In this episode of "Mindset Reset," I’m sharing a super simple but powerful framework to help you bust through those negative thought patterns that keep you stuck.
I've been where you are—staring at a pile of stuff, thinking, "Why even bother?" But here's the thing: clearing out the mental clutter is just as important as tackling those physical piles. That’s where the four N's come in—Notice, Normalize, Neutralize, and Next Best Thought. Trust me, these steps can transform how you think about challenges.
Here’s what we’ll chat about:
- The real reasons mindset matters (hint: it's the key to using all those strategies you’ve learned!)
- My own "aha" moment when I realized my clutter wasn't just physical
- A step-by-step guide to using the Four N’s framework to flip your mindset
- How this framework helped me write my first book (even when self-doubt crept in!)
Plus, I'm spilling the details on my free "Ready Set Simplify" newsletter, packed with tips and inspiration to keep you motivated on your decluttering journey. And don't miss out on a free masterclass from my friend Brie Sedano on mastering your finances—because a clutter-free life and wallet go hand in hand!

| 1:30.4 | strategies I teach you. And I am no different. It doesn't matter what goal we're talking about here. |
| 1:36.2 | I was actually talking with a client last week. She's in my inner circle. And she was sharing like, |
| 1:41.0 | I know the how tos. That all makes sense to me. But I can't even like access and use |
