Summary

Do you ever feel like clutter is taking over your home? In this episode, Tara Bremmer, professional organizer is here to dive into the heart of decluttering. We will talk about where to start if your home feels out of control, and how to tackle overwhelming projects in small, manageable steps instead of turning your whole house upside down. You’ll also hear tips for pantry organization, dealing with “rage areas,” and how to maintain chaos resilience by scheduling time to keep things in order. We also cover: 

  • Practical tips for decluttering books, laundry, and pantries
  • The emotional side of clutter and why we hold on to things in stressful times
  • Decluttering with kids: teaching them to let go, manage clothes, and organize their space
  • Tips for closet organization: including deciding what sizes of clothes to hang onto

Hey y'all, welcome back to the Don't Mom Alone podcast.

0:10.7

I'm your host, Heather McFaddean, and this is the place where I get to walk alongside you

0:15.0

and connect you with people and resources so you know that you don't mom alone.

0:20.6

And in this episode number 537, we're jumping

0:24.2

into our fall season and we're welcoming to the show, Tara Bremmer. Something I think about a lot

0:31.2

is that we all have a story and I don't believe that clutter exists in a vacuum and it's not a moral issue.

0:41.3

Clutter isn't like I'm bad or sinful or whatever. It's a problem to be solved and it is

We've got two high schoolers,

1:36.3

1:43.6

while eating Oreos. It doesn't make sense to

1:47.3

declutter when everyone is home and making more messes. So I decided that heading into the

1:54.1

beginning of this year, and I know some of you still have kids at home and some of you homeschool
