Summary
If I was braver I would show you a picture of my closet floor at this very moment in solidarity with all those slowly being overtaken by the clutter in their homes. But I’m not that brave, so let’s move on. Ha!
Allie Casazza has been on Good Morning America, The Today Show, and a whole lot of other places talking about ways to keep our stuff from stealing our joy. Coming from a place of deep stress and frustration in her own home, she realized that what takes up our space takes up our time. She discovered she was spending all her time maintaining her stuff. Sounds vaguely familiar, right?
Allie shares with us today her best tips for decluttering our houses one room at a time. She encourages us to set the intention for the room and align everything in it with that purpose (note: the intention for my closet is unclear at this time). Even if this all feels overwhelming, you’ll love her tips for small steps that will make a big difference.
Don’t miss our full-service show today on ways to declutter our kids’ stuff, our own stuff, the sentimental stuff, and all the rest that’s tripping us up (quite literally).

| 0:02.0 | This is Cynthia Yannoff and you're listening to Pardon the Mess. |
| 0:16.0 | Each week we have honest discussions about the ups and downs of parenting and the lessons God is teaching us along the way. It's real, it's fun, and it's biblical. Life is messy. Don't walk |
| 0:26.1 | the parenting road alone. Hey friends, I'm glad you're here with us today on part of the mess. |
| 0:34.1 | We have Ali Casazza with us, and she has really gone deep into all things |
| 0:39.4 | decluttering. That's completely what she does. She teaches courses. She writes books about it. |
| 0:44.1 | She is passionate about decluttering. And I got to love a girl that's passionate about that. |
| 0:47.9 | And I will say, I think we fall in a couple of categories when it comes to this whole concept |
| 0:52.3 | of decluttering. And I think one, you're one of those |
| 0:55.2 | people that says, I really need to do it and I'm going to do it. So here we go. That is not me. |
| 1:00.7 | Or I think two, you're one of those people that is like, yeah, I totally need to declutter and I'll |
| 1:06.0 | start maybe tomorrow. And then you don't do it. That is me for sure. Or you're the third. You're like, |
| 1:11.4 | I don't think I really needed to clutter. Things are looking good. And if you're that person, |
| 1:14.6 | then we don't know how to help you. I'm sorry. No, I'm just kidding. But there is something for |
| 1:18.3 | everyone. And I will say it's made me think of something that happened in my life. When we first got got J.B. when he came to our house, when he was in foster care, people were so generous and just |
| 1:27.6 | dropped off everything in creation for us because, you know, we hadn't had a baby in our home in a long |
| 1:31.7 | time. And with that came tons and tons and tons of baby clothes. And it was the weirdest thing, |
| 1:36.7 | like, I'm not easily overwhelmed, but for some reason, there was so much stuff that a couple |
| 1:42.1 | months and maybe like even this like the whole first year I ended up like |
| 1:45.8 | just kind of sticking boxes in the closet and could not go through them for some reason I'm just |
| 1:50.0 | like there's too much stuff and so the child did need clothes because he was growing but I didn't know |
| 1:54.7 | how to approach it and so one of my good friends came over and she's like I'm going to come over |
