Decluttering is NOT about the stuff.

In this episode, I’m talking with professional organizer and Declutter Hub cofounder Lesley Spellman about what’s really happening underneath our clutter. We explore the emotions that can make letting go difficult, including guilt, aspiration, and the stories we attach to our belongings.

Lesley shares three key ingredients for decluttering success: kindness toward yourself, having a meaningful goal for your home, and being realistic about your space, energy, and season of life. We also...

What’s keeping you from getting organized?

You may think you need more time, better systems, or more motivation. But often, there are two gaps between where you are now and where you want to be: a skill gap and a mindset gap.

In this episode, I break down both and show you how the SPACE Method helps you practice the skills of organizing, wh...

Have you ever thought, “I KNOW what to do. Why am I not doing it?”

Maybe you know you need to organize your office, clean up your files, work on your business, or take better care of yourself. But knowing and doing are two very different things.

What if the biggest difference between you and an organized woman isn’t how much stuff she owns or how naturally organized she is?

What if she simply believes being organized is possible for her?

In this episode, I’m sharing the secret I think organized women know about decluttering and why that belief changes everything about the way you approach your stuff.

What if decluttering didn’t start with deciding what to get rid of?

What if, instead, you could simply experience your home with less stuff and THEN decide what deserves to come back?

Have you ever wondered if ADHD could explain more than you think? Maybe you've always considered yourself disorganized, overwhelmed, or someone who just couldn't seem to "get it together." What if there was more to the story?

In this episode, I'm joined by ADHD coach Andrea Morton for an eye-opening conversation about what ADHD really looks like in women. Andrea wasn't diagnosed until she was 48, while one of her children was going through the diagnostic process. That one discovery completely changed how...

Words matter.

Have you ever felt like you "blew it" because you missed a few days of your routine?

Maybe your house got messy again. You stopped exercising. Your planner hasn't been opened in weeks. Your business routines slipped, or your quiet time in the morning has been inconsistent.

What if you didn't need to restart?

What if you simply needed to resume?

In this episode, Tracy shares a mindset shift that can completely...

Have you ever looked around your home and wondered, "How did we end up with so much stuff?" Or maybe you've organized the same drawer, closet, or office over and over, only to feel overwhelmed again a few weeks later.

If you've ever thought minimalism wasn't for you because you pictured empty white rooms, getting rid of everything you own, or living with only 33 items in your closet, this episode might completely change your perspective.

How many times have you told yourself, "I just need to be more consistent"?

Whether it's working out, organizing your business, sending emails, meal planning, or finally sticking to that morning routine, most of us believe consistency means never missing a day. But what if that's the very belief that's keeping you stuck?

In this episode, I'm challenging the way we think about consistency. Because the truth is, consistent people aren't perfect. They don't never miss. They simply restart faster.<...

What if the reason you feel stuck isn't that you're lazy, unmotivated, or doing something wrong? What if you're simply out of flow?

This episode feels especially meaningful to me because Laurie Smith was last on the podcast back in Episode 105, when she was in the middle of writing the book we're talking about today. We worked together while she was writing, organizing her ideas, and creating space for this project to come to life. And now? She's back with her finished...

Is your office helping you get work done... or making everything harder?

When someone recently asked me if I had an episode specifically about organizing an office, I realized I had talked about pieces of it over the years, but never dedicated an entire episode to the topic. So I invited professional organizer Lisa Griffith to join me for a conversation about what actually matters when it comes to creating an organized workspace.
