Why Your Home Feels Hard to Manage (and how to fix it)


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.

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...
