Could your home use a little more breathing room?


Hey Reader,

I love the beauty and simplicity of an empty space.

The rooms in my home have margin—on purpose. That breathing room helps them stay clutter-free and organized.

When I coach clients, we talk a lot about creating margin. Not just in our schedules, but in our homes.

I use a simple three-step method to help clients declutter any space:

Remove.
Reduce.
Return.

Can you think of a space in your home that needs more margin?
One that would be easier to use (and easier to organize) with a little buffer room?

Start small. Pick a space you can finish in under an hour—a drawer, a shelf, a corner of your kitchen counter.

Then:

  1. Remove everything from the space.
  2. Reduce what you keep. (Don’t refill the space. Keep only what you use and love.)
  3. Return the useful, necessary items.

The organizing will take care of itself.

Want to give it a try? Hit reply and tell me:
What space will you tackle today?

Until next week,
Amy

P.S. It’s a short week for me. We’re heading to the most beautiful wedding and staying in a peaceful AirBnB.

Have you ever come home from vacation wishing your house felt like that rental? Calm, simple, restful?

Sometimes those trips highlight just how much stuff we have, and don’t need.

If that’s you, maybe it’s time to make a change. Don’t wait another year to feel at peace in your own home.
Let’s talk. I can help.

Hey Reader, It was a work-hard/play-hard week at the beach for me. My coaching clients and I have been diving into everything from using up inventory to organizing foyers and closets to letting go of sentimental items and even calendar organization. I’m so grateful for everyone I get to serve as their coach. Those conversations stay with me and allow me to help more people every day. Congrats to my dad ⛳️ My dad shot a hole-in-one on 4th of July. I'm so happy for him. And I had to share it...

Hey Reader, Did you catch the podcast episode last week? Deanna is such a thoughtful interviewer. I loved our conversation. Several people told me it gave them the clarity and motivation they needed to begin decluttering. 🙌🏻 That’s why I’m reaching out with a small favor. Would you forward this email to someone who might need that same boost? Maybe they’re overwhelmed and don’t know where to start. Or they feel frustrated because no one else in the house seems bothered by the clutter. 😡...

Hey Reader, I just started working with an amazing client, and we’re tackling a mountain of paper together. But here’s what’s so exciting—she found me through a podcast and told me she learned so much just from that one episode! So I thought… maybe you’d like to hear it too. 🤔 Because let’s be honest: the best part of decluttering isn’t just the tidy drawer or the cleared shelf. It’s that feeling when things finally start to leave your house and you breathe a little easier. You create margin....
