For those that are new around here, I release bonus episodes that serve a niche part of my audience, I have listeners of all faith backgrounds that listen to the podcast. This episode is coming from a christian perspective so if that’s something that doesn’t fit what you’re looking for, check out the other episode that dropped this week or join me back here next Tuesday for a conversation that you don’t want to miss!
How can embracing your unique brain and letting go of misconceptions about cleanliness lead to a more fulfilling spiritual life? Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, and now the new book, Jesus Doesn't Care About Your Mess, shares how her personal struggles with clutter inspired a career dedicated to helping others simplify their homes. In this episode, she emphasizes that a clean home is not a measure of spirituality and that organization can be achieved without chaos. Dana also delves into her faith journey, addressing myths about cleanliness and spirituality, and explores how gratitude has helped to shape her perspective.
Dana is is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind. Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and videos at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com.
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!
