  • Résumé

  • Ready to stop the overwhelm and start enjoying your life more? This podcast will help you declutter the piles of stuff, organize the things you want to keep, and learn to let go of the rest with positive mindsets and encouragement. As a busy mom who's been there, done that, I share stories of the crazy - like selling 80% of what we owned to travel with our toddler to the mundane - like having to run a home now that our kiddo's in school. Living with less is not about deprivation - just the opposite! Decluttering can open you up for a life of freedom you never knew was possible. And you won’t hear it just from me - there are amazing guests too! It’s practical, doable, and simple for those of us that wannabe clutter free.

Clutter isn’t just about the stuff in our homes—it affects our stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being. Research from UCLA’s Center on Everyday Lives and Families shows that excess belongings can lead to increased cortisol levels, especially in women, making it harder to relax and feel at peace. I’ll also share personal insights on how our deep emotional ties to "things" can keep us stuck, along with practical steps to break free from the overwhelm. Plus, I’ve got a simple decluttering challenge for you to take action right away! If you’re ready to clear the clutter and create space for more happiness, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Clutter contributes to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Studies show a direct link between clutter and higher cortisol levels, especially in women. Emotional attachments to belongings can make it difficult to let go. Clutter impacts relationships and can create tension at home. The hidden costs of clutter extend beyond space—it affects productivity, decision-making, and mental clarity. Decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming; small, intentional steps can lead to lasting change. A simple decluttering challenge can help you take the first step toward a clutter-free and happier life. 00:00 Welcome to the Show 01:10 The Mental Load of Stuff 02:41 The Science of Clutter 07:56 Clutter and Relationships 10:26 Emotional Connection to Stuff 19:01 The Hidden Costs of Clutter 25:04 Take Action: Declutter Your Space 26:26 Join the Community and Stay Connected **************** Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com **************** Subscribe & Review Don't forget to subscribe to the show so you don't miss any tips for organizing, decluttering, and simplifying your home and life.
