Hey Reader, If your house feels like too much right now, you’re not alone.The truth is: most people try to start with the hardest things first—sentimental items, keepsakes, gifts. But when you're overwhelmed, the smartest way to start is with the easiest space. 📍 A drawer.📍 A single shelf.📍 One small corner you can finish today. Not everything. Just something. 🎥 I made a quick video to walk you through it: ✨ Ready for more support? Join the free 5-Day Reset: From Cluttered to Clear. Short,...

Hey Reader, Last week, a client shared something all too familiar: she can’t stand working in her home office. Every day, she moves her laptop to the couch or the dining room table—not exactly ideal or ergonomic. When I asked why she avoids her office, I already knew the answer. It’s the family dumping ground. Every drawer is packed with paper. Finding anything important feels like a chore. She even had to reorder her son’s birth certificate—because it vanished into the mess. If paperwork is...

Hey Reader, I had the honor of joining Shannon Leyko on her top-rated show, The Paring Down Podcast—and I’m so excited to share it with you. We had a real, honest conversation about how comparison (the sneaky kind) often drives clutter, overspending, and overwhelm without us even realizing it. We talked about: how advertising shapes what we think we “need” how social media fuels the “not enough” feeling and how to come back to what really matters—to you This was such a joy to record, and I...

Hey Reader, If you're like me, the fall is a brand new year. The weather changes. Kids are back in school and returning to college. And normal schedules are a welcome change from the "no structure summer" months. My coaching clients enjoyed time off this summer, but they also kept their homes running well. And now, they have big plans and projects for decluttering and organizing more spaces in their home. So if you're trying to get back to normal but are still fighting clutter piles and a...

Hey Reader, Let's talk about your next decluttering project. I really believe there is a right way and a wrong way to approach this work. So many people tell me they struggle to get started. And when they finally do, they dive in, make a big mess…and then run out of time and energy. What’s left behind? Unsorted piles of trash, donations, and keep items all jumbled together—with no clear path to finishing. I do NOT want this to happen to you. So, before you start any project—big or...

Hey Reader, I'm not going to lie. It's been a rough few weeks. My father-in-law passed away in August. One of my clients sent me this... Someone said grief is like glitter. It clings to everything. Hides in corners. Slips into your socks. Appears on your fingertips when you’re reaching for a glass of water, or brushing your hair before bed. It settles in places no one else can see. And sometimes, it sparkles. Sometimes, it doesn’t. There’s no proper timeline for learning how to live with what...

Hello Reader, Writing this week's email is hard. Normally, writing is a healthy process for me. I can get deep into my work and sit at the computer for hours. I write about empty nesting, decluttering, and even travel, but I’m also smack in the middle of the joy of watching my son become an amazing young man—and the heartache of watching my parents age faster than I’d like. Last week, after months in hospice care, my father-in-law passed away. I wrote a tribute to him here if you'd like to...

Hey Reader, One of the things I remind my clients often is this: When you bring down the volume in a space, it has a way of organizing itself. What’s left is the stuff you want, need, and use. That’s when creating systems gets easy—because you’re not organizing clutter. You’re creating clarity and sanity. And the habits you create from there? That’s what makes it stick. I just shared a new video all about this idea and how you can start making it work in your own home. You can watch it here:...
