Money Mindset Transformed

In this special 100th episode of the Organize With Grace podcast, I'm reflecting on the top lessons I've learned through professional organizing and hosting a show focused on decluttering, downsizing, and navigating life transitions. I'll walk you through seven key truths I've seen again and again, from decision fatigue and the emotions that decluttering evokes to the fear of letting go and the power of starting small. Whether you're in the middle of a move, facing a family crisis, or simply overwhelmed by stuff, these insights will encourage and ground you. I also introduce the Crisis Clarity Session, my virtual organizing service designed to help overwhelmed families during urgent transitions like health changes, caregiving, and estate cleanouts.

In this episode, I sit down with Sheri Valdez, who has many hats: realtor, mom of five, and seasoned guide through the often-emotional journey of buying or selling a home during a life transition. Whether you're considering downsizing, helping a loved one through a move, or preparing for your next chapter, Sheri shares invaluable insights into what really matters when making a home feel right for your current season. Tune in to hear how she supports her clients with care, communication, and clarity throughout the entire process.

Are you tired of decluttering your home only to find it filled with stuff again months later? In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Christine Koh, host of the Edit Your Life Show, we chat about the psychology behind our attachment to possessions and discover practical strategies to break the "re-cluttering" cycle for good. Christine shares her transformative mantra that changed how she approaches consumption and reveals the surprisingly simple Sunday habit that keeps her home clutter-free. Whether you're downsizing, organizing, or simply seeking to live more intentionally, this episode offers refreshing wisdom for creating a space that truly supports your life.   Click here to learn more about Dr. Christine Koh, Phd: www.christinekoh.com  Click here to listen to her show: Edit Your Life

In this episode, I discuss why decluttering and downsizing need self-compassion and grace, not perfectionism.  I also share three simple tips to make downsizing less stressful: celebrate small wins, accept your feelings about letting things go, and define what "enough" progress means for your situation. Are you feeling stuck with your decluttering projects or planning a move? If so, this episode offers practical advice for making progress without the pressure.

Do you find that your messy home feels like a reflection of your heart and self-worth? Join us for a refreshingly honest conversation with Dana K. White, the beloved creator of "A Slob Comes Clean." In this episode, Dana opens up about her personal struggles with clutter and shares how her journey from chaos to clarity began with the creation of an anonymous blog. This blog started as an accountability project and has since transformed into a movement that has helped thousands break free from the cycle of mess and shame. Dana offers practical and achievable strategies for tackling clutter—yes, even that pile you've been avoiding—while sharing a powerful message about God's grace and your true worth beyond the appearance of your home.  Whether you're overwhelmed by clutter or simply looking for freedom from the pressure of having a "perfect" looking house, this conversation will leave you feeling inspired, equipped, and, most importantly, understood.

Hey! If you're beating yourself up about those New Year's resolutions already falling apart, you need to hear this episode. I get super real about my own 4 AM dishwasher adventures (yes, really!) and why January feeling like a total blur is actually totally okay. I share this "as real as it gets" situated about helping a family handle an emergency downsize that really puts things in perspective. Plus, did you know there's actually a thing called "Quitter's Day"? We talk about why ditching those resolutions doesn't make you a quitter, and how to hit that reset button whenever you need it. If you're still in that post-holiday fog or feeling like everyone else has their life together except you - this one's for you. I also break down how we can work together on Zoom to tackle your organizing goals, one totally doable step at a time. This is probably one of my most honest episodes yet, first recorded straight from my couch because sometimes that's just where the real talk happens!

Let's face it: moving is stressful and challenging on many fronts - emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially.  Yet, each year, tens of millions of people in the US relocate from their place of birth or current residence to another location within the same city, county, state, country, or abroad for many reasons. (Read more at: https://www.mymovingreviews.com/move/how-often-and-why-americans-move/) During these moves, we tend to accumulate belongings along the way, and the next thing we know, we have more stuff than we know what to do with. In this episode, I chatted with Deanna Yates about this very topic and how minimalism has played a significant role in her life of relocating 16 times in the past 20 years. She provided listeners with practical decluttering and downsizing advice for those who are ready to let go and who crave more space in their homes and lives. I hope you enjoy and are helped by this conversation with Deanna. Deanna Yates is the busy mama behind the top-ranking podcast, Wannabe Clutter Free, where she helps other busy families learn how to let go of the stuff holding them back so they can enjoy more time together, stop spending their weekends cleaning house, and wake up excited for the day ahead. Deanna is mom to one daughter, wife to a startup entrepreneur, and is living her dream life in San Diego, CA. When she's not helping clients realize their dreams, you can find her on her Peloton, searching for the tastiest breakfast burrito, or balancing her love of a good Target run with living clutter-free in her own home.   Listen to these great episodes of Wannabe Clutter Free Podcast:  Deanna's journey as a minimalist: Ep 200: Reflecting on the Past Decade of Our Decluttering and Minimalism Living Journey Me as her guest: Ep 207: Clearing Clutter, Finding Clarity: Insights for a Tidier Home as We Age Connect with Deanna: Website: https://wannabeclutterfree.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wannabeclutterfree/     

Instead of a tangled, overwhelming hot mess of scattered analog and digital photos that leave you stressed, imagine having your most precious memories neatly organized and displayed. You'd be able to enjoy those visual keepsakes while crafting the “best of the best” visual legacy that you and your children can easily access for years to come. If this resonates with you, this episode could be the solution you needed yesterday. I had the pleasure of chatting with Haleh Shoa, Founder and CEO of Picturli: a photo organization, curation, archiving, and design studio that helps families, individuals, and businesses transform their chaotic mess of photos into one clear and cohesive digital library. Haleh and her team meticulously organize their clients' photo collections into a searchable, secure, and easily sharable photo archive. Haleh believes that family histories and personal memories are some of the most valuable treasures that exist and that preserving and sharing them is crucial for future generations. She shared many great tips about photo organization from first steps to regularly cleaning up your camera roll for better-looking photos. If you like taking notes while listening, here are the 7 steps to organize and archive your photos: 1. Decide on a goal 2. Gather your photos & other memories 3. Gather your tools 4. Sorting and Categorizing 5. Scan your photos 6. Proper storage solutions 7. Digital back-up    Want more help from Haleh? 1.

Discover practical strategies to navigate the shopping frenzy, avoid unnecessary purchases, and still revel in the joy of finding meaningful gifts for your loved ones. Learn about thoughtful gifting and mindful consumption, ensuring a fulfilling holiday season without the clutter. There seems to be little literature and research about "mindful consumption" and I wish I could bring you more information about it. For now, we will keep it basic and describe it as a practice of "being deliberate and thoughtful in our buying habits, understanding the impact of our purchases on both ourselves and the world."  Share this episode with a friend.

Today's special guest is Professional Organizer Holly Perez, owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions. Join us as we talk about how getting organized is a form of self-care. Holly also shares actionable tips and her own journey with getting organized.  The term "self-care" has been a marketing buzzword lately, and it evokes mixed feelings for many, including myself. An article I found on Yahoo states that the term "self-care" has "become so big and amorphous that it can be difficult to suss out what it really is at its core and why it matters." While we didn't take the time to dig into the history of self-care and how it became so popular, we considered getting organized as a way for us to take better care of ourselves. If you're like me, I feel at peace when I know that my environment is in order. I feel like I can breathe easier when I know I can find things quickly and easily. But if these feelings continue to elude you as they did me for many years,  know that there is always hope and help. And the bonus? You get to take care of your overall well-being by getting organized. Are you ready to go from chaos to calm? Pop on those earbuds, friend, and join the conversation.   About Holly Perez: Holly is the owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions.  H.A.P. stands for multiple things: Happy and Productive, Home and Paper,  Harmonious and Peaceful, and my initials, Holly A. Perez.  As a full-time work-from-home mom, I know the feeling of overwhelm while dealing with the everyday paper that piles up everywhere in the home office, kitchen, car, closet, and more. I offer group workshops and one-on-one sessions to help solve the problem for good. My goal is to assist you in being happy and productive, while reducing the stress and overwhelm so that you can focus on what matters most.

Avalance. Tsunami. Mountains. Oceans. Would these words accurately describe the amount of paper that we process throughout our lifetime? Let me share a statistic used by the book I am about to introduce to you: "The average American household processes a paper stack as high as a two-story house every year." Imagine that! So maybe it's not outlandish to describe our paper as an avalanche, tsunami, etc. Even with massive technological advances and a push for a paperless (or at least less paper) society, paper is here to stay, and it only continues to overwhelm us and our homes. What's the solution? I am glad you asked. Listen in as I talk with you more about paper organization and THE book that could solve our paper problems, written by Lisa Woodruff called Paper Solution: What To Shred, What To Save, and How To Stop It from Taking Over Your Life. Also, check out Episode 68 where I talked with my friend Emily Lowry about how to get your paper organized. She is certified to teach Lisa's Sunday Basket system (mentioned in the book).  

Do you find yourself distracted even after you've scheduled a time to declutter a particular area in your home? Something that you deem more important comes up. You receive a phone call or text message that "needs" your attention. Someone needs something from you. Mind you, this happens within the short 15 minutes that you try to declutter, even just a bedside table. My friend, you are definitely not alone on this. No one is immune to distractions (not even a professional organizer), especially in this day and age where everything and everyone are vying for our attention.  Take a listen to this episode as we explore an important question we need to ask ourselves when distractions come DURING our decluttering time.   ***Grab your DECLUTTER GUIDE by clicking HERE and you will receive helpful tips and strategies to get started TODAY.***   Click HERE to read the blog post I referred to about defeating distraction written by Erin Pavlicek. As I mentioned, it's spiritual in nature. Don't feel like you have to share the beliefs of the writer (or mine) for the content to be useful for you.       

Just imagine looking inside your closet, smiling, and loving everything you had in it. Getting dressed for work or for an event is a breeze because you can find what you need and you no longer run late. Sounds amazing, right? Unfortunately, this is not (yet) the case for many of us. According to a survey from OnePoll, 47% of women struggle with deciding on which work outfit they should wear. The struggle is real!  Help is on the way, my friend. My guest, Holly Moran, a Professional Organizer, will help us get started on the right foot and guide us toward a closet space we can feel good about. Connect with Holly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heyhollyhomemaker/   Schedule your 15-minute assessment with me HERE so we can chat about how we can work together virtually to complete that organizing project that you've been wanting to complete.

Receipts. Legal documents. Paper bills. Magazines. Work papers. Random notes you wrote on Post-Its. Grocery lists. To-do lists. All. The. Paper. With these ongoing incoming papers, it can really become frustrating when they pile up and you hardly know what to do with them. We then stash them away while we hope they would disappear on their own, except, they don't and they leave us frustrated and overwhelmed. Can you relate? I've been there too! Join me and my guest, friend, and fellow professional organizer, Emily Lowry, as she walks us through how to tackle these papers so that you no longer have to feel stressed out, especially when you can't find that one piece of paper that you need right away.

It was an honor and privilege to have a conversation with celebrity Decluttering Expert Tracy McCubbin! We've had great guests so far! Tracy and I talked about, as the title of this episode states, "why filling our homes with stuff leaves us feeling empty, and tips for bringing more happiness to our homes." You do not want to miss this timely and eye-opening chat! Tracy is the acclaimed founder of dClutterfly, and author of the new book Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want, (To be released on October 4, 2022). In Make Space for Happiness, Tracy expands on her debut, widely acclaimed book, Making Space, Clutter Free, to revisit the seven Clutter Blocks - mind traps that make us unable to let go of possessions that we don't want, use, or love in order to make real change - to now helping her thousands of clients examine the deep root of how their excess possessions got there in the first place.  Connect with Tracy: Go to her website:  https://dclutterfly.com/  Follow her on IG: https://www.instagram.com/tracy_mccubbin/  Connect with me: On IG: https://www.instagram.com/organizewithgrace/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/organizewithgracefb  Or Email me at: grace@organizewithgrace.com

Decluttering and organizing can positively impact our overall mental health and here are 3 of my takeaways from the recent episodes where we focused on our mental well-being. As the month of May came to a close, I hope that, in honor of Mental Health Awareness month, you took the time to do some self-care and released some of that mental load through tidying up.  ON FACEBOOK?  Join the private FACEBOOK group by clicking below! https://www.facebook.com/groups/392147542767604  Message me on the socials!

Good grief, Grace!!! (Emoji head in hand) As if the topics needed to get any heavier this month for Mental Health Awareness, I add another tough one: grief. But I promise you that this is a much-needed conversation even if you are not currently experiencing grief, it will be eye-opening and will help you navigate a life transition, no matter how small. My new friend and fellow professional organizer, Jenn Dickel graciously accepted my invitation to come to the podcast to talk about grief organizing. Say what? Well, listen to the episode and find out what this is all about. More about Jenn: Jenn is a professional organizer and founder of Seasonal Navigation Organizing. Her mission is to help women adapt, enjoy, and be able to find what helps them live their best life in their current seasons of life, navigating the transitions to new seasons and leaving old seasons behind.

Here are 3 simple actions I am taking to care for my mental health and how you can too. When we think about medical concerns, I feel that mental health is like an afterthought and I hope to be an advocate to help bring more attention to it as much as physical health.
