A father of three with a stressful job, Tyler Moore felt his life resembled an overstuffed closet: disorganized and overly busy behind the tidy, closed doors. When it all became too much—for their 750-square-foot apartment and his nerves—he set out to unpack the physical and emotional mess around him. In today's conversation, we explore the broader concept of tidiness beyond physical decluttering, touching on mental health, personal values, and routines. The conversation also delves into balancing career, creative pursuits, and family life, highlighting the importance of grounding one's lifestyle in core values.
Tyler Moore is the creator of the hugely popular “Tidy Dad” Instagram, TikTok, and website. A public school teacher in New York City, husband, and father of three young daughters, he has been featured on Good Morning America and in The Washington Post, The New York Times, New York Post, Better Homes & Gardens Secrets of Getting Organized magazine, Apartment Therapy, and many podcasts including HGTV and Minimalist Moms. During the school year, he lives with his wife, Emily, a pediatric occupational therapist, and daughters in Queens, New York. In the summer, they spend as much time as possible in their small but tidy cottage in the Poconos.

The Minimalist Moms Podcast would not be possible without the support of weekly sponsors. Choosing brands that I believe in is important to me. I only want to recommend brands that I believe may help you in your daily life. As always, never feel pressured into buying anything. Remember: if you don't need it, it's not a good deal!
