Summary

Ever feel like your house is one big junk drawer for your job, your hobbies, your dreams, and your daily chaos? Like your kitchen table is now a desk, your closet is holding camera gear, and everywhere you look is just one more to-do staring back at you? In this episode, I open up about the sneaky stowaway that came with working from home: work clutter — physical, emotional, and digital. Whether you're running a business from your basement, balancing a hybrid job, or trying to keep your crafting chaos under control, this episode will help you draw a line (maybe even build a wall!) between your home and your hustle. We unpack why work-from-home clutter is so overwhelming — and what you can actually do about it. I’m sharing real strategies that have helped me survive running a business with a family of five and a house full of bins, binders, bees (yes, bees), and big feelings. Whether you’re a crafter, a creator, or just tired of your job living rent-free in your living room — this episode will leave you feeling inspired, capable, and ready to take back your space. ✨ We talk about: - Why your home feels like it’s bursting at the seams — and what to do first - The truth about hybrid work clutter (and why it’s the worst) - The 90-day rule for work stuff you haven’t used - How to set boundaries when your office is your kitchen - The power of zoning and why clutter needs “walls” - The hidden mental load of hobby clutter (and how to deal with it)   🎧 Want to leave a question or message for Cas?
