If you’ve ever felt like you’re stuck on a hamster wheel of decluttering—clearing one space only to have the mess sneak back in—you’re not alone. The good news? It’s not your fault, and there’s a way out of the cycle.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the #1 game-changing strategy to stop spinning your wheels and finally create a home that works for you (instead of stressing you out). We’ll tackle the emotional, logistical, and practical sides of clutter—because spoiler alert: it’s not just about “stuff.”
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear path forward and the confidence to start making progress that sticks.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
Key Takeaways:
The Approach That Changes Everything:
Holistic Decluttering isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s about understanding the why behind your clutter, taking empowered action with small, intentional steps, and creating sustainable systems that work for you—your home, your values, your story.
Think of it like a recipe. Some people need more “root awareness,” while others thrive with an extra helping of “sustainable systems.” It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress—and creating a home that supports your life, not drains it.
CTA:
