It took me about 3 years of intense trial and error to get any of the changes I attempted in my home to actually stick. (I know, that sounds completely insane). To be clear, it didn’t take me 3 years to declutter- but it took me that long to feel like I actually “got it right” and could relax and feel totally connected to the space I had created. I can identify about 4 “phases” that I *tirelessly*...

Let’s talk about the elusive “time” situation that I see come up time-and-time again (pun intended). To be honest, we tend to have a pretty deluded and strained relationship with time, much like money: → there’s never enough of it → there will be so much more “someday” (when all of our responsibilities miraculously go away) → and we unthinkingly blow it on mindless activities and phone apps. 🙃 Me...

So, in this episode, I'm going to shed some light on what these...

I happen to believe that it DOES matter where you start when it comes to getting the clutter out. As with most things, the best transformations happen from the inside out. That's why the greatest impact and momentum for decluttering tends to happen when you begin with the room that you resonate with the most on a personal level. In this episode, I share where you should focus your attention first...

Being in total control of your day can actually be a little intimidating and overwhelming. So, what do most of us do when we're overwhelmed?!...Nothing. Whomp Whomp. It can lead to massive Netflix binging, mindless social media scrolling--> followed by social media debating--> that leads to deep intense rage. Or maybe you go the phone app or video game route and totally forget to move your b...

This episode was really hard for me because I'm talking about some ugly topics. I'm talking about toxic home environments and I don't mean chemicals and toxins, I mean toxic relationships and emotionally toxic homes. Right now, in the middle of a pandemic with quarantines, there's a huge increase in domestic violence and addiction. Not to mention, for many people, negative and toxic home environme...

So, here we are. Things are weird. And while the healthiest approach is to be flexible and release a bit, we still need to feel some semblance of space and control. This should be a time to really benefit from a supportive home space and absolutely not the time to add in another struggle (i.e. an obstacle course of mess and destruction).  In today's episode, I'm sharing the 3 most impactful shifts...

The myth: that decluttering is a purely physical action. Truthfully, action takes place on more than the physical level in anything you do, including decluttering and creating amazing home spaces. If you're only taking action from a physical stand-point you're going to find yourself exhausted and likely unsuccessful. Listen in to hear my holistic approach to decluttering that primes you for maximu...

This is the most powerful, peaceful, non-frantic decis...

I read a study reported by CNBC that states we (Americans, at least) spend an average of 1-3 hours per DAY on housework- cleaning, upkeep, etc. Let's just take an average of that and say that you spend 2 hours per day on cleaning and organizing...that's nd average of 60 hours per month! What could you do with that time? You could literally take a vacation with the amount of time you likely spend c...

We live in a world where addition is the gold standard. This focus leads us to spend more, reach more, and keep our eyes focused outward and moving forward but never slowing and looking inward.
