186 | Are You Over-Functioning? Here's How to Tell
00:23:32
Hi Guys,
Just because we CAN take care of everything doesn't mean we SHOULD take care of everything. We are capable of doing so much - taking care of the kids, the house, the spouse, the driving, the scheduling, the shopping, the cooking, everything - but when this becomes our life to the degree that we have no time to appreciate the small moments we know it has gotten out of hand. It's time to step back, delegate, declutter and take care of you. Give yourself some space.

Hi Guys!
Welcome to the show! In today’s episode, I’m sharing how syncing your tasks with your natural 28-day cycle can make decluttering (and life) a whole lot easier.
Now, let’s talk about syncing your tasks with your 28-day cycle, based on the book "In the Flow" by Alisa Vitti. Here’s a quick overview of the four phases of your cycle and how to use them to get more done:
1. Follicular Phase: Great time for planning and starting projects. 2. Ovulatory Phase: Ideal for physical tasks, like decluttering. 3. Luteal Phase: Focus on wrapping up and handling details. 4. Menstrual Phase: Perfect for rest, reflection, and journaling.
By aligning your tasks with your natural energy, you’ll reduce stress, feel more productive, and get more done. It’s all about working *with* your body’s rhythms instead of against them.
Check out the book and let me know how you’re syncing your tasks with your cycle in the Facebook group!

Key Takeaways:
Digital Clutter: Unsubscribe from unnecessary emails, delete unused apps, and organize your photos.
Physical Clutter: Clear out your closet, junk drawer, and nightstand for a more peaceful space.
Mental Clutter: Practice brain dumping, set boundaries, and incorporate mindful breathing.

Plan - Create a three column chart with the following titles: Space | Purpose | Item
Post-it - List the items you plan to write under the column "item" on a post it and put it in the corresponding space.
Place-it - Go around your house and place all the items around your house in their designated space (written on the post-it)
This will allow you and your family members to have only ONE location for each item, which creates trust in your organizational system, and encourages family members to actually use the system. Good luck, Friends!

In this episode, I explore how culture, upbringing, and personality shape our need for external validation, which in turn creates both emotional and physical clutter. I share a simple 3-step plan to shift from seeking outside approval to trusting your inner compass.
Key Points:
Cultural Influence: Western culture’s “not enough” messages and capitalist marketing.
Upbringing: Family expectations and early experiences that shape self-worth.
Personality: How being naturally empathic can lead to internal confusion.
3-Step Plan:
Cultivate Awareness: Reflect and journal to uncover the root causes of your validation-seeking behaviors.
Challenge & Reframe: Question societal and familial expectations; redefine your story to reflect your true self.
Affirm Your Inner Compass: Practice self-compassion, engage in grounding rituals, and celebrate your unique strengths.
Tune in to start transforming your inner world and create a home that truly reflects who you are.

101 | The "Amber" Method for Decluttering | How to Declutter Without the Stress

211 | Little Spaces FILLED With Clutter - Here's What to Do!
00:27:48
Hey Guys,
Here is a step by step for what to do if you have a cluttered space - a closet, a desk, an office...you name it.
In this episode, we’re tackling a real-life example from Annette, a member of our Facebook group. Her space—like so many of ours—has become a catch-all for overflow clothes, papers, books, and more. Together, we’ll break down how to approach these cluttered nooks with mindfulness and actionable steps to clear the chaos and create a space you love.
Key Takeaways:
Clutter doesn’t just take up space; it takes up mental energy too. A clear space = a clear mind.
Start small and break the process into manageable steps—30 minutes can make a huge difference!
When letting go, focus on the vision for your space. Does this item support your intention or hold you back?
Progress is about consistency, not perfection. Celebrate every small win!

181 | How and When to Say Goodbye to Sentimental Items When Decluttering | How to Declutter Meaningful Memorabilia
00:16:47
Hi Friends! In this episode I talk about a client who I worked with who let go of a lifetime of memories and did NOT regret it. The biggest take away from this episode is that it is normal to feel sad when letting go of items that were meaningful, but you still won't regret it. It's okay to feel the sadness because it's a loss. But when you open up your space you allow yourself to grow, and that's what we all want - that's what makes us feel good - growth.

020 \\ Two Things to do TODAY for a better life | Decluttering and Minimizing to Get OUT of Survival Mode
00:13:42
Hey,
You may have had many days like the one I describe here...I know I did. With very many of these, you start to feel defeated by everything around you. But if you do these two things, you can reset your day. And if you keep doing them daily you will reset your life. Trust me. Just try it.
In this episode, I also talk about the human condition, and how feeling jealousy and comparison is something we all feel. But we CAN consciously step out of the competition. While comparison and competition is normal, much of it is self-imposed, and we can take steps to have less of it in our lives.
I hope this helps you!

032 | The ONE Thing That is Preventing You from Being Organized | How to Beat Perfectionism and Get Started Organizing
00:15:01
Hey Friend! If you have ever "over" organized only to become deflated because your system only lasted a week? It's because you were being a perfectionist. What's the solution? Keep the categoies broad...no matter what area you are organizing. And for god sakes, DON'T MAKE IT PERFECT! It's too hard to keep up with perfection! You are perfect enough as you are...you don't need a perfect t-shirt drawer too! :)
078 | How to organize your whole house on a budget | Affordable Organizing
00:19:36
Hey guys,
Have you left the Container Store with sticker shock? Home Organization can really add up when you have to buy hundreds of matching bins. Not to mention the hassle of having to return any that you didn’t end up using. Then they just sit in your car past the return date and you’re stuck with them. Been there.
Today, I’m going to tell you how to organize your whole house for under $200. Now, if your house is huge you may need to spend a little more, but most of us will be able to get away with spending less than $200.
Here are your five steps:
Measure
Make Purhases
Create Categories
Find a Home for Everything
Label
That’s it! If you follow this 5- step plan you can clean and organize any room for cheap, and a whole house for under $200.
214 | YOU Are the Boss | How Changing Your Mindset is ALL it Takes to Be a Minimalist
00:13:58
Hey Guys,
The January cohort of my course has started, and these women are ready. They are done being slaves to their clutter. They’ve stepped into their power, said yes to themselves, and are taking back their lives. And that’s exactly what YOU need to do if you want to break free.
You can make excuses, or you can make a change. No one is coming to save you—this is your job. Yes, it’s uncomfortable. Yes, it’s hard. But peace is on the other side of the push.
In this episode, I challenge you to get uncomfortable. To push through your fears, your doubts, and your victim mindset. To stop waiting for the “right time” and start creating the life you want.
It's time to shift your expectations. It's time to challenge yourself, your family, and your environment. Because the only thing standing between you and the life you want is your willingness to push through.

174 | The Steps to Eliminate Items From Your House
00:29:29
Hi Guys!
In this episode I talk about the fourth step in the Amber Method, which is to eliminate the items from your home. This is the actual "decluttering" step. The Amber Method is A for Assess, M for Manifest, B for Breathe, E for Eliminate, and R for Receive. The most important thing to remember during this step is to stay out of your head. You can do this by using strategies that activate your prefrontal cortex: make the project about numbers, a specific space, or focus on a specific category. Similar to Mel Robbins' Five Second Rule, when she says 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and take action.
Imagine that your clutter is little pieces of your stress and anxiety that you are literally removing from your life.
112 | The ONE Thing That is Keeping you from STARTING Your Decluttering Project
00:11:52
"How can I be a perfectionist when my house is so messy!?" Does this sounds familiar? It is extremely common for a perfectionist to be paralysed by perfection; they won't even start because there is no way they can make it look like that picture they saw on Pinterest. Well, guess what...that picture on Pinterest started messy...and so will your project. But nothing will happen if you don't start. Hopefully this episode helps remind you to let go of your perfectionism and just start.
When you are feeling overwhelmed and you don't know where to start, here are five very simple hacks that will help you trick your brain into getting rid of stuf you don't need. Try it!
