27 Apr 2020 | How long does it take to declutter a home? | 00:17:03 | |
I feel like it's taking me forever to declutter! And how long does it take to get this done? These are the number one questions/frustration that have been coming up in my DMs and emails (by the way all emails and messages are sent by and are responded to by me personally, I love talking with you!) Here's the thing.. you know how all kids learn how to read on their own timeline? You're going to declutter your home on your own timeline as well. Just like when we teach our kids to read, we intentionally and systematically do things to help them along the way - I do the same for you and decluttering your home. Just like when your kids master reading sight words, and then move onto something more challenging like a simple story, then a beginnger chapter book, then college text books... So do you in your decluttering process. You're going to figure this out in your own individual timeline. You have varying degrees of challenges, roadblocks, time availability, sizes of homes, amounts of stuff, emotional attachments, family on board (or not) - and OF COURSE it is going to take you time. Of course you're going to feel like maybe you're not making the progress you "should". That's NORMAL! You are making progress. You are figuring it out. Give yourself a whole lot of grace and realize what you HAVE done, and what you HAVE learned. That will give you a jumping point to keep going forward. Decluttering is a skill you master, just like reading. Eventually it becomes second nature and easy to do - but just like reading you'll always be able to find new ways to challenge yourself. Like learning to read in another language - or read computer code🤪 Ps - Today's live is going to be ALL about decluttering on your own timeline - and ways to give yourself super simple beginner steps while you learn to master it - just like reading!

14 Feb 2023 | Decluttering Won't Work if You Keep Doing This | 00:15:43 | |

Decluttering and then bringing more stuff into your home as quickly as it leaves is going to drive you bananas.

Pretty much everyone has said, or done the thing where we say we're just going to pack everything up and we'll declutter after we move.

11 May 2020 | Decluttering is not microwaveable! | 00:23:17 | |
Enroll in Decluttering Simplified here Decluttering is not microwaveable! meaning there isn’t a way to make something that should take ten minutes, happen in one. And if you can...It’s not natural 🤣 Decluttering is a long game, and it often goes slower than we like - for a lot of reasons. For example 😅decision making on all the things is hard 👯♀️we have a lot of kids ⏰we have work and school and sports and all the things to do 🏠 we’ve spent years, or maybe even decades accumulating stuff so of course it takes time to get rid of it. I just wanted to let you know that if you think it happens quickly, or overnight - or in a weekend, or even a month... and disappointed that even though you’ve been working your 🍑 off, and feel like you have nothing to show for it, you’re doing it exactly right and nothing is wrong with you. This is why I love before and afters - often times you don’t even realize how much you HAVE done because we’re such immediate beings we can only see what’s left in front of us. So take them, even if they’re just for you 😊 Today’s live at 2pm eastern will be a pep talk on the decluttering long game 🏈 and how to stay sane while you stick it out.

31 Jan 2023 | Decluttering Without Waste | 00:18:32 | |
You want to get things out of your home and into the hands of people who can actually use them, and you want to declutter without feeling guilty about the waste or continuing to contribute to the landfill and radically transform your spending and consumption habits. I get it. This was me years ago. In today's episode, I'm sharing a bit about my decluttering journey, and I break down why waste comes from overconsumption and not decluttering and why decluttering isn't wasteful.

You know I stalk you guys, right?

There is a way to live out those good intentions AND get out from under the stuff so you can live more simply, my friend.

16 Jan 2020 | EP126 - urgency versus what's truly important in your motherhood | 00:30:38 | |
There is a whole lot of urgency in motherhood and often times we confuse it with what's important. We spend most of our time doing all of the urgent things - laundry, dishes, toys, messes and it takes up all of the time for the things that are important like being present with your children, creating a home that makes your kids feel welcome and celebrated, or being able to have a life outside of being a mom. In today's episode we talk about the difference between the two and how to recognize urgent things you can eliminate in order to make room for the important things.

13 Apr 2021 | When you've decluttered and still aren't happy | 00:36:36 | |
Enroll in Motherhood Simplified This the ACTUAL end result of decluttering, spoiler alert. It isn't just a clean house. It's the ability to actually see your life for what it is, and what is/is not working. It's basically standing there as a naked and exposed version of yourself. I don't lead with this because honestly, it's not the sexy microwaveable answer people want. There is a lot of truth in how your internal world mirrors your external world. Whether its falsely curated, or a total mess or something in between. Ways it does not make you happy 1. It doesn’t erase your past experiences and traumas 2. It doesn’t change your belief systems about yourself and your life 3. It doesn’t nurture relationships Ways Decluttering makes you happy: 1. It gives you relief 2. It makes your days easier 3. It gives you a sense of accomplishment and pride in your home 4. It gives you time and energy for relationships 5. It eliminates a lot of the things that lead us to perpetually judge and shame ourselves 6. It breathes life into us It's stepping into a new normal. One where you have space, energy and clarity. Boundaries. Tolerance for only what serves you It's being able to see the ROOT issues of your life and then address them. After you've decluttered is when the real work begins. Not to say decluttering isn't work, its about establishing boundaries to protect what you do want. The example of me absolutely freaking out over something I had put boundaries up and then fetl like they were being violated and I absolutely was sent into a tail sping because I didn't want to go back to my old way of being. In the same way we freak out when we've decluttered and family/friends go over board with gifts and hand me downs. You will get to a new normal where you aren't freaked out by being derailed any more. So yes, we talk about decluttering and all the work that goes into it but we can't expect it to make us happy. Happiness isn't an end result or something that just comes once we've gotten rid of enough stuff. It happens when we decide to intentionally and always only keep things that align with our happiness. ________ 4:10 - Krista's real life story - from 2 house full of stuff to 1 suitcase per person 5:53 - learning to sit with yourself 6:42 - declutting takes your from bogged down to freedom and brings clarity and space. 7:15 - declutting gives you space in more places than just your physical space. 9:05 - 2 reasons why you still feel dissatisfied after declutter 11:27 - 3 ways that decluttering doesn't make you happy. 13:50 - 6 ways that declutter does make you happy 17:57: - podcast link for clutter shame spiral 23:20 - come join the fb group ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/2010014145929427/ ) 24:58 - you have to put some effort in 25:27 - one week challenge in the motherhood simplified facebook group in May called "Release your clutter like a powerful mother." 26:47 - leave a positive review on iTunes.

03 May 2022 | grief, guilt and decluttering | 00:17:11 | |
Get Decluttering Simplified here There are a lot of different intensities to grief, so here is the definition real quick: a deep sorrow, or less intense; trouble or annoyance. Ways you might not know you are grieving as you declutter:
Acknowledge your grief. The intensity can stop you in your tracks, but that doesn't stop the grief. The season of life is still over, the relationships, you are still moving. Acknowledge it, articulate it (with a friend or therapist, or FB group). Then, find the things you are looking forward to next. This isn't fake it til you make it. This is sitting with the shit and then getting yourself out of it. Because the other choice is to just sit there indefinitely.

24 Jul 2019 | EP66 Decluttering for a peaceful home | 00:33:25 | |
Did you know that one of the side effects of a cluttered home for siblings is increased fighting? Biting, pushing, hitting, yelling all increase within the confines of a cluttered and chaotic environment. The opposite is also true in that you can find relief from these symptoms by decluttering and creating order, predictability and room to breathe within the home. This is NOT a parenting episode teaching you how to change or manage behavior in your kids. It is just my personal experience through teaching in many classrooms all over the country and within my own home and the anecdotal evidence I have collected that proves our environments can literally make or break us. IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT ...real life examples of dramatic changes in behavior I have seen in kids when we decluttered the classrooms ... how it gives you time, energy and space to see what's really going on with your kids ... how your chaos becomes your kids' chaos, and on the other end of it, your calm can become their calm ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO SUPPLEMENT THIS EPISODE Enroll in Decluttering Simplified here Enroll in Clear Your Clutter here (its free!)

When I had my third baby I had discovered a secret to make it all easier - and that was decluttering so that I had the time and energy to pour into my postpartum phase with comfort, ease, love and in a home that was working FOR me, not one that I had to wake up and fight every day.

28 Feb 2023 | how to get to maintenance mode with your decluttering | 00:17:14 | |
Today's episode is knowing the signs of what decluttering in maintenance mode looks like. In Decluttering Simplified you figure out what this looks like for you so you can recognize it and work toward it. How is your time spent differently? How do you feel? Etc. And then we set up measurable milestones But once those start to happen for you, how do you stay there? Maintenance mode for me looks like being able to pick up at the end of the night and not fall behind on things like laundry, dishes and also being able to do the thigs that matter to me - cooking, budgeting, time on myself etc. Once I notice those things slipping I know that it's time to declutter again.

As moms we all get into ruts sometimes and it is not fun. We feel like that Katy Perry song - the one about the plastic bag drifting through the wind. No routines, no direction, feeling totally alone and isolated, stuck in our thoughts and down on ourselves. The thing is that we are not meant to stay that way. We aren't meant to live a life of misery and burden but there isn't anyone who will just magically swoop in and do it for us. We have to learn how to get ourselves out of it. That is what this episode is all about today!

03 Jul 2019 | EP55 Why you should declutter BEFORE you have your baby | 00:26:02 | |
This community is called Motherhood Simplified - so obviously we are in the seasons of having babies. One question I get often is "should I declutter before my maternity leave or during". I wholheartedly believe that BEFORE is the answer, and for so many reasons. In this episode I tell the story of my different postpartum experiences I have had. The good, the bad, the ugly and what I wish I would have known about decluttering BEFORE actually having the baby. Because for me, every time, the hard work comes after you have the baby. Especially if you already have other kids.
