Podcasts about Clutter

Clutter insinuates itself into every part of our lives: our space, our time, our emotions, our relationships. From boxes moldering in the Attic to the Zester lurking in a kitchen drawer, we must examine our lives to discard the stuff we no longer need, love, or use. In episode #274 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, we set ourselves another alphabet challenge: to identify and discuss an organizing concept, issue, or tip for every letter from A to Z.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw274The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love. We meet Tuesdays at noon (U.S. Central Time) to answer your decluttering questions and to share organizing tools and techniques, success stories and “ah-hah!” moments, seasonal suggestions, and timeless tips.To participate live in our weekly webcast, join our Meetup group, follow us on Facebook, or subscribe to our mailing list.

Lawsuit Dismissed. Morons in the News. A French Hoochie Koochie.   We Should All Be Pickier. Everyone Needs a Laugh. Left Handed Folks.   Talkback Callers. 50 Miles in 50 Days. Can You Believe This?   From the Vault.

Are you drowning in “stuffication”? It's that suffocating feeling when your home is so overrun with clutter that it steals your focus, your joy, and even your financial security. In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with professional organizer Mary Beth MacKinnon to uncover why clutter is never just about stuff—it's about emotions, money, and the stories we attach to our belongings. Mary Beth explains why pantries become money pits, how subscription boxes and impulse buys fuel the clutter cycle, and why storage units are really just “renting a house for your crap.” We dive deep into the psychology of guilt, nostalgia, and overconsumption—and talk about practical systems and mindset shifts that can help you stop overspending and start living lighter. You'll hear: Why “stuffication” happens and how to know when clutter has crossed the line into overwhelm The hidden financial costs of clutter (from subscription traps to storage units) Why emotions like guilt and shame keep us stuck with things we don't even use Smart strategies for breaking the buy-more-organize-more cycle How decluttering your home can also declutter your finances and free up money for what really matters If you've ever stood in front of an overflowing closet or pantry and felt paralyzed, this episode will help you understand what's really going on—and give you tools to clear the clutter for good.

Whether you're an adventure junkie or totally risk-averse, this episode is a fun and motivating listen because it highlights how living with fewer possessions can help you live a more fulfilling life. I chat with Shannon and Gerry Arner of the popular podcast and blog, Arner Adventures, about how their decision to pare down what they own opened the door to more adventure—both in everyday life and beyond. We cover: • How adventure affects our relationships • What happens when a leap of faith goes wrong • The amazing adventures we'd never do again — but are still grateful we said yes to, just once. Tune in for a heartfelt and inspiring conversation about finding joy, connection, and adventure when you clear out the clutter—inside and out.

SHOW NOTES: Welcome back to The Money Pit! Today, we have an action-packed show designed to help you tackle those crucial fall projects, regain control over clutter, and navigate the shifting landscape of housing. Join us as we discuss topics and caller questions that include: - Transforming Outdoor Spaces with Hardscaping: We'll share projects perfect for this time of year, including how products like Ladera and RumbleStone from Pavestone can transform forgotten yards with gorgeous patios, fire pits, and useful garden walls, adding curb appeal that lasts. - Understanding Home Organization and Clutter: A new national survey reveals that women are far more likely to take charge of tidiness and feel better when their homes are organized. We'll discuss what motivates Americans to get things under control, the tools they prefer, and the biggest challenges to staying organized. - The Evolving Townhome Market: Townhomes used to be the go-to for affordable home ownership, but we are looking at how rising construction costs, stricter regulations, and tougher master insurance rules are making this dream harder to build. - Essential Fall Floor Protection: As the weather cools, we spend more time indoors – bringing mud and other grime inside, too. We're sharing easy ways to care for your floors, including using doormats, switching to microfiber mops, and deep cleaning high-traffic areas.   Q & A: - Courtney in Pennsylvania calls about adding air conditioning to her Cape Cod house and asks whether she should remove her existing baseboard heating system for an all-in-one unit. We strongly advise against removing that wonderful, clean baseboard heat, suggesting Courtney seek a second opinion on ductwork. - David in Kansas City had foundation repairs done and was told by the contractors to seal the entire foundation and close off all the crawl space vents. We give David basic steps to reduce moisture, including installing a thick plastic vapor barrier on his dirt floor, ensuring his downspouts are clean and extended, and checking the soil grading. - Carrie is deciding where to put a second bathroom in her 1912 house, choosing between a vacant basement area or a partially finished attic space. We recommend the second-floor (attic) location, since adding a bathroom upstairs is more attractive for future buyers and improves the overall resale value of the home. - Greg in Ohio wonders if he can apply stone veneer over his old exterior glazed block building to improve curb appeal. We advise him that this project is possible, especially with a thin veneer, provided that he researches the proper strong veneer adhesive and ensures the underlying glazed stone is in good shape. - John in Bedford, New York, emailed us because his circuit breaker keeps tripping immediately every time he resets it, even though everything is unplugged. We stress that this means there is a short, and he needs to call a professional electrician who can quickly and safely resolve the issue.   ASK A QUESTION: Need help with your own home improvement or décor question?

Today we're talking about seeing the vertical walls in our home with fresh eyes. Oftentimes the art/ pictures/ decor on our walls becomes invisible to us as we've become so used to it our brains don't even register it anymore. Take a slow walk through your home, noticing everything on your walls, doors and front of your fridge, without touching anything, just noticing. You might like to change up some of your photos/ art around the house, or you may be inspired to clear spaces and enjoy them blank for a while. Maybe you're creative and you want to create some art for yourself, or be on the look for ways to decorate your walls in a fresh way.Join our community Leave a Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupLeave a review on Apple PodcastThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio.

Clearing clutter is really two jobs: reducing the backlog of accumulated stuff and cultivating habits to keep the mess from getting worse. The more effectively you handle ongoing maintenance, the more energy you'll have to devote to the backlog project. In episode #273 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, suggests a dozen five-minute maintenance tasks as the foundation for a clutter-prevention workflow.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw273The Clutter Fairy Weekly is a live webcast and podcast designed to help you clear your clutter and make space in your home and your life for more of what you love.

Here is your link for this weekend's workshop: https://declutteryourchaos.com/workshop Hey Friends, In today's workshop episode, we go deep into what minimalism actually means and how it can transform not just your home, but your entire life. This is not about a Pinterest-perfect house or counting your belongings — it's about creating space for what actually matters. Here's what we cover: ✨ Minimalism Defined: Why it's a mindset and a lifestyle, and how it helps you focus on what truly matters. ✨ Core Philosophy: Removing physical clutter, mental noise, unnecessary obligations, and even limiting beliefs — so you have more space, time, and energy. ✨ Practical Minimalism: Decluttering your possessions, your calendar, your digital life, and even your relationships. ✨ Benefits You'll Feel: More clarity, freedom, presence, and alignment between your outer world and your inner values. ✨ Giving and Receiving: Why so many women struggle to receive, and why receiving is essential before you can truly give. ✨ Your Home as a Guide: How clutter is not your enemy but your teacher, showing you where you are overwhelmed and what needs attention. ✨ Boundaries & Self-Love: How to take accountability for your side of the street with compassion — not self-criticism — and why filling your own cup is not selfish. ✨ Overwhelm & Putting Yourself Last: Why putting yourself first changes everything, and how it shifts the energy of your home and relationships. ✨ The Power of Possibility: Why changing your environment creates possibility — the antidote to depression — and why this work is worth the courage it takes. This is a heart-centered episode about loving yourself enough to create an environment that reflects who you are and who you are becoming. I hope it helps you!  And I hope to see you tomorrow!

This week on Minimalish, I'm joined by Olivia, also known as The Marketplace Mom, for a fun yet practical conversation about one of my favorite topics—decluttering—and how selling on Facebook Marketplace can actually make the process easier (and even rewarding). Olivia shares her own story of starting to sell online, especially kids' clothes and other family items, and how it's helped her simplify her home while also connecting with others. She gives us tons of tips for creating effective listings, navigating interactions with buyers, staying safe during porch pickups, and keeping a healthy mindset about the process. We also talk about the joy of secondhand shopping, why it's worth giving it a try, and how social media has created a supportive community around buying and selling pre-loved items. If you've been looking for a little motivation to tackle the clutter and maybe make some extra money in the process, then this episode is definitely for you!

Today, we'll be in 2 Kings 22:13 looking at the danger of a faith that is merely routine.“…Inquire about the words written in this scroll that has been found.

Why can't you get it together? Why can't you just get the clutter out? Why is this so hard? If you want to know what needs work in your heart, pray the Seven Sorrows Rosary everyday for one month and begin to hear the voice of God. Our Blessed Mother gives 7 promises to those that pray this rosary on a regular basis.  1. I will grant peace to their families. 2. They will be enlightened about the divine mysteries. 3. I will console them in their pains, and I will accompany them in their work. 4. I will give them as much as they ask for as long as it does not oppose the adorable will of my Divine Son. 5. I will defend them in their spiritual battles with the infernal enemy, and I will protect them at every instant of their lives. 6. I will visibly help them at the moment of their death; they will see the face of their Mother. 7. I have obtained from my Divine Son that those who propagate this devotion to my tears and dolors will be taken directly from this earthly life to eternal happiness, since all their sins will be forgiven and my son and I will be their eternal consolation and joy.
