Parenthood can feel like a never-ending carpool. But every so often, buried somewhere in the immense haystack of putrid adolescent laundry, you step on a spiritual needle… and experience a satori. Diaries of a Dance Dad is a podcast about raising three daughters, Jeff Krasno's beloved estrogen footprint. These essays are harrowing and hilarious in equal measure. They will make you laugh. They will make you cry. And they will remind you that the mundane is, in fact, miraculous. Each week, Jeff reads directly from his collection stories excavated from the deepest rough, polished into something worth carrying. Fatherhood, marriage, the slow surrender of control, the shock of being loved - all of it lives here. Jeff Krasno is the co-founder of Commune and host of the Commune podcast. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife Schuyler and three daughters who do not listen to him but never fail to imitate him.

When clutter piles up in our homes, it's not just “stuff” for many of us who are Highly Sensitive Persons. We can experience it as visual noise, decision fatigue, emotional stories, sensory input, and shame. So much shame. In this episode, my dear friend and co-author Kathi Lipp and I explore why everyday home management can feel uniquely overwhelming for HSPs … and how we can learn to respond with practical compassion instead of all-or-nothing thinking. You'll learn why tidying up a space can help your nervous system exhale, why systems often collapse when life happens, and how to create a simple “stabilizing day” rather than trying to catch up on everything at once Kathi also shares three small re-entry steps for those moments when home feels overwhelming. This episode is a gentle invitation to stop asking, “Why can't I keep up?” and start asking, “What might help my HSP nervous system take the next small step?” Links to Resources Mentioned: Kathi Lipp's Clutter Free Academy Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/clutterfreeacademy Order Kathi's book Clutter Free: Quick and Easy Steps for Simplifying Your Space https://www.amazon.com/Clutter-Free-Quick-Steps-Simplifying/dp/0736959130/ Check out Kathi's Website: https://kathilipp.com/ https://kathilipp.com/ Take the “Am I a Highly Sensitive Person?” Self-Quiz https://CheriGregory.com/hspquiz/ Learn about the Sensitive & Strong Community Cafe https://sensitiveandstrongbook.com/sensitive-strong-community-cafe/ Chapters (00:00:00) - When clutter piles up in our homes(00:01:17) - Grit and Grace: Highly Sensitive Christian Women(00:03:49) - What is HSP?(00:04:50) - The Special Challenges of Being a Highly Sensitive Person(00:09:25) - Why is clutter more detrimental to HSPs than to the rest(00:11:52) - What to Do When Things Fall Apart in the Household?(00:18:00) - Why Does a Clean House Feel So Peaceful?

Are you part of the sandwich generation —caring for aging parents while managing your own life? You are not alone, and this episode will help.   Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, sits down with Jeannine Bryant, founder of Easy Right Sizing and a Senior Move Manager with over 17 years of experience. Jeannine has helped thousands of older adults and their families navigate the emotional and practical process of downsizing — and she is here to help you too.   In this conversation you will learn:  -How to start the downsizing conversation with a senior loved one without steamrolling or creating resistance. -Why tiptoeing into the process over time is far more effective than waiting for a crisis moment.  -The house cooling party — a beautiful, family-centered way to pass along belongings with intention and joy.  -How to make downsizing feel less like a loss and more like a legacy gift to the people you love.  -The donation box strategy Jeannine uses in her own home to keep clutter from building up over time.  -What to do when a loved one is not ready to let go — and why that is okay.   Taylor's Tip Time: Janet shares five organizing tips she personally used while caring for her own mother — from setting up a file box for paperwork to keeping a medication list, organizing daily essentials, and managing appointments with a simple calendar system. Plus a gentle reminder to breathe.   TossItTuesday: Janet lets go of a broken pump that had been living under her sink for no good reason.   Resource Roundup: Lazy Susans for medication management, plus Janet's two ebooks — Seven Affirmations to Organize Your Life and Prepared and Organized: Seven Areas to Tackle During Tough Times.   Quote of the week: "Caregiving allows us to lean into the love we did not know was possible."   Clear the Clutter.

We have a common tendency to accumulate and retain physical items — such as documents, clothing, silverware, lumber, screws, and nails — under the assumption they may be needed in the future, even when they have gone unused for years. When we address this clutter by removing the tangible objects we have held onto for too long, it can allow us to focus on the mental and emotional clutter we likely have going on in our mind. Key Takeaways Holding on to unnecessary physical objects, relationships, and habits creates mental and emotional clutter that hinders personal growth. Most items unused for several years can be safely discarded, as needed items can typically be reacquired when necessary. Decluttering physical spaces is a practical first step that builds momentum for addressing mental and emotional clutter. Embracing change — such as moving to a new place or ending unproductive relationships — fosters personal development and new experiences. Fear of future need is often an illogical barrier to letting go of things that no longer serve a purpose.

I've wanted to have this conversation for a long time. Clutter is a trauma symptom. And the reason many people feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like they just can't let go, no matter how hard they try, has nothing to do with motivation or willpower.  Grab a spot in my free masterclass, Break the Clutter Cycle!SEE MORE▷ Instagram▷ FREE: Declutter Your First Room Blueprint ▷ FREE: Clutter Roadmap QUIZ▷ The Mind Your Home Podcast on Apple

Have you ever decluttered a room only to watch it fill back up three months later? If so, this episode of the Clutter Free Podcast is for you. Kathi Lipp sits down with Katy Joy Wells, host of the Maximized Minimalist podcast with over 5 million downloads, to explore why traditional decluttering methods often fail—and what actually works for those who struggle with emotional attachment to their stuff. What Listeners Will Discover In this conversation, Kathi and Katy dive deep into the psychology behind clutter, examining why some people can easily let things go while others find themselves paralyzed by a simple organizing decision. The Four Types of Clutter Katy introduces her framework of the four clutter types that keep most homes stuck: Superficial Clutter – The easy stuff with no emotional attachment (only 10-15% of most homes' clutter) Scarcity Clutter – Fear-based items kept "just in case" Sentimental Clutter – Items tied to memories and meaningful moments Identity Clutter – Things connected to who you used to be or aspire to become Understanding Your "Stuff Story" Listeners will learn about the three pillars that shape their relationship with belongings: historical influences from caregivers, personal experiences, and cultural messaging. This awareness creates the foundation for lasting change. How Clutter Affects Your Nervous System The conversation reveals how the average American home contains over 300,000 items—and how this visual chaos triggers stress responses, elevated cortisol, and feelings of overwhelm that have nothing to do with willpower or motivation. Key Takeaways The goal isn't a Pinterest-perfect home—it's a "good enough home" that serves your real life Knowing something is clutter doesn't automatically mean you can let it go Environment shapes behavior: changing your space changes your choices Meeting overwhelming thoughts with curiosity instead of judgment unlocks progress You can be sentimental AND have a simplified home This episode offers hope and practical strategies for anyone who has tried and failed at traditional decluttering methods. It's time to stop blaming yourself and start understanding the real reasons clutter has such a hold on your life.

Sometimes the hardest clutter to let go of is not the thing itself.It is the version of ourselves we hoped it would help us become.The yoga mat for the daily practice we imagined. The craft supplies for the creative afternoons we thought we would have. The kitchen gadget, the unread books, the course, the clothes, the resources, the hobby equipment, all waiting for a future life that may not actually fit who we are today.And that can feel surprisingly emotional.Because aspirational clutter is often tied to hope, good intentions, identity, and the pressure to become a better, calmer, more organized version of ourselves.In this episode, you'll learn:What aspirational clutter is and why it can feel so difficult to declutterWhy we often hold onto items for an imagined future version of ourselvesHow things like craft supplies, fitness equipment, books, kitchen gadgets, courses, and clothes can become identity clutterWhy keeping something does not bring back the money you spent on itHow aspirational clutter can contribute to clutter stress, emotional overwhelm, mental overload, and the feeling that you are constantly falling short The difference between genuinely wanting to do something and liking the idea of being someone who does itTwo simple decluttering questions that can provide instant clarity when you are struggling with decluttering guilt Why motherhood, neurodivergence, self-improvement goals, and changing interests can all create their own unique forms of family clutter and personal clutter How letting go of unused items can allow someone else to benefit from themIf you have shelves, drawers, boxes, or cupboards filled with things for a future version of yourself, this episode is an invitation to look at them with honesty and compassion.Because life changes. Priorities shift. And sometimes the things we once hoped for no longer fit the season of life we are in now.Here's to making space for who you are today,CarolineThanks for listening!

Are you tired of being everything to everyone — and running on empty doing it? This episode is for you. Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, sits down with Rashidat Odeyemi, lifestyle coach and dream strategist, who helps high-achieving women create success without the hustle culture lifestyle. After burning out trying to be a good daughter, friend, and business owner all at once, Rashidat figured out how to build the soft life she now lives — one rooted in rest, ease, and joy. In this conversation you will learn: -Why so many women stay stuck even when they are doing all the things — and what is really getting in the way. -The three questions Rashidat asks every client to help them get unstuck and moving forward again. -The difference between being busy and actually making progress — and why treading water feels like movement but gets you nowhere. -How to put yourself on the list — not just at the top of everyone else's. -Why systemizing your life and rest is just as important as systemizing your work. -The Freedom Fridays check-in Rashidat uses with her community to make rest and self-care non-negotiable. Taylor's Tip Time: Janet shares five things every woman needs to toss right now — starting with the uncomfortable bras, holey socks, and worn-out nightgowns that are not serving you. Your body deserves better. TossItTuesday: Time to let go of those old nightgowns. Yes, the ones you have been wearing for decades. You deserve to feel good even while you sleep.

Feeling overwhelmed by clutter, unfinished projects, or the constant mental load of home management? In this devotional episode, we're exploring a deeper question: Can we truly trust in the Lord with all our heart if we're still carrying burdens He never asked us to carry? Using Proverbs 3, Isaiah 58, Matthew 11, and other KJV scriptures, we'll look at the difference between real burdens and perceived burdens, why clutter often reveals something deeper beneath the surface, and how surrendering the right things can create more peace, clarity, and capacity for what God is actually calling us to do. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, spiritually dry, or weighed down by clutter and responsibility, this episode will encourage you to examine what's truly burdening your heart—and where God may be inviting you to trust Him more fully. Scripture Referenced: Proverbs 3:5-6 | Revelation 3:16 | Isaiah 58:11 | Matthew 11:28-30 If you're interested in accountability support or organizing coaching, email me at info@organizewithkristina.com with “MORE” in the subject line, and I'll send over details for scheduling a 20-minute consultation call to see what kind of support may be the best fit for this season.

Stephanie Denson, founder of Spirit and Space, is one of those people.We work in similar ways. While I help clients create homes that feel aligned and supported, Stephanie helps them clear the space both literally and energetically so their lives can expand. And honestly, clutter impacts how you feel in a space just as much as Feng Shui does.In this episode, we talk about the emotional side of downsizing, why "what if syndrome" keeps us stuck, and how small decisions about your belongings can actually be transformative. Stephanie shares stories of real clients like Sue, who was ready to move to senior living but felt paralyzed by her possessions and what changed when she finally let herself let go.We also dive into:Why downsizing doesn't have to mean getting rid of things you loveHow to find the right home for items that still have valueThe difference between holding on because you need it and holding on because you're afraidWhy starting small creates momentumWhat happens when you leave clutter clearing until the last minute (spoiler: it's exhausting)If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed by your stuff, or thinking about downsizing, this episode is for you.

Is your home office working for you — or against you? In this solo episode, Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, walks you through seven practical steps to take back control of your workspace,clear the clutter, and create an office environment that actually supports howyou work and live. Whether you work from home full-time, manage household paperwork, or just need a space that helps you think clearly — this episode is for you. In this episode Janet covers: Step 1: Create a retention schedule — talk to your tax professional, attorney, or financial advisor to know exactly what you need to keep and what you can finally let go. Step 2: Start with the outer areas — the corners, floor space, bookshelves, and ledges you haven't touched in months. Step 3: Clear off your desk — everything comes off, then only the daily essentials go back. Step 4: Clear the bookcase — are those books and periodicals still relevant to your life today? Step 5: Purge the filing cabinet — it should be functional, not a paper graveyard. Step 6: Find a shredding event or schedule time to shred — protect your personal information and free up space. Step 7: Repeat seasonally or quarterly — maintenance is so much easier than starting from scratch. Janet also shares this week's Organizing with Janet story — a virtual client session that started with three-and-a-half inch floppy disks and outdated binders, and ended with a fully functional, efficient workspace. Taylor's Tip Time: Set a 15-minute timer and tackle just one area of your home office this week. That is all it takes to get started. TossItTuesday: Janet is letting go of greeting cards she no longer feels attached to — some going back more than 30 years. Quote of the week: "A clear desk is not just about organization. It is a declaration that you are in control of your space, your time, and your focus."   Clear the Clutter. Claim Your Power. It starts with your desk.   Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with someone whose desk needs a little love.   Connect with Janet M.

Most people think clutter comes from being too busy or not organized enough. But what if the real reason your space keeps filling back up is that you're holding onto things that are tied to a version of you God is asking you to release? In this episode, Emily breaks down why clutter keeps coming back and why it has nothing to do with discipline. She unpacks the seven types of clutter that are quietly revealing what you're still carrying, and helps you see how your space is often mirroring the version of you that no longer fits the season you're stepping into.  Beyond that, she walks you through a simple, faith-led framework to help you shift not just your space but your spirit. This isn't just about having a perfect home. It's about a woman who lives in alignment. Because the truth is, what you keep is shaping who you remain, but what you release determines what God can do next. What You'll Learn: Why your clutter keeps coming back (and why it's not a willpower problem) The 7 types of clutter and what they reveal about your past and identity The hidden emotional and spiritual weight behind the items you struggle to let go of How to break free from scarcity, shame, and “old versions” of yourself The CROWN Method to create a lasting order that you can actually sustain Timestamps: (01:23) - Why Your Clutter Is Not About Your House (06:27) - Nesting, Identity, and God Preparing You for More (10:38) - The 7 Types of Clutter That Are Secretly Running Your Life (12:30) - Why “I Might Need This One Day” Is a Scarcity Mindset (16:15) - Aspirational Clutter and The Woman You Think You Should Be (18:58) - The Hidden Cost of Cheap Buys and “Just in Case” Thinking (21:44) - Buyer's Remorse, Shame, and Letting Go (26:39) - Why Your Clutter Keeps Coming Back (The 4 Tendencies) (36:08) - The CROWN Method That Changes Everything (45:25) - Faithfulness in Small Things (47:43) - Decluttering as a Lifelong Practice Books Mentioned in This Episode The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin | https://a.co/d/0avQPbva  The Four Tendencies by Gretchen Rubin | https://a.co/d/02IUtgwQ  Outer Order, Inner Calm by Gretchen Rubin | https://a.co/d/0hpCG5W3  More from Emily & FORDIVINE: Website |  https://meetemilyford.com   Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/itsemily         Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/itsemilymethod    YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/c/ITSEMILYFORD  Called & Crowned Podcast | https://www.instagram.com/calledandcrowned/  FORDIVINE | https://www.fordivine.com/

In this fascinating conversation, The First Lady of Nutrition sits down with Reagan Phillips, professional organizer and founder of Cure The Chaos Organizing, to explore the powerful connection between clutter, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life. Reagan explains how disorganization can quietly contribute to overwhelm, anxiety, mental fatigue, and what she calls C.H.A.O.S. — “Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome”. Listeners will discover Reagan's proven “C.U.R.E.” method for clearing clutter, reducing stress, and creating lasting organization that can transform not only the home, but life itself. From the benefits of minimalist living to practical strategies for helping busy households reclaim peace of mind, this episode is packed with real-world advice and encouragement for anyone ready to simplify, de-stress, and finally cure the chaos.

In Episode 135 of High Performance Parenting, Greg and Jacquie Francis break down why most homes don't suddenly become chaotic overnight.

When we hear the word clutter, we think about closets and countertops. But what about the clutter in our schedules, our thoughts, our commitments, and the expectations we place on ourselves? This episode goes deeper.  Janet Taylor, your Life Organizer, welcomes back Karen Taylor Bass — returning guest, award-winning media strategist, bestselling author, certified advanced yoga instructor, and daily host of Soulful Sunrise on WURD Radio 900 AM. Karen's message is simple and powerful: you are the list. Everything else is two, three, four, five.  In this conversation you will learn: What clutter really looks like in the body, the mind, and our relationships — and why stillness is the first step to clearing it.  Why you do not need to work your way up to the top of the list. You belong there now.  The five-minute morning practice Karen uses before she ever touches her phone — and why it changes everything.  How to fast from social media and the noise that keeps you stuck living someone else's life.  The journaling practice Karen uses to flood her thoughts onto the page, leave them alone, and return with fresh eyes.  Why moving your body — even just walking to the mailbox — is non-negotiable for clearing mental and emotional clutter.  How to give yourself grace, get still, and ask the one question that will show you exactly what you need.  Organizing with Janet: A client had her passwords scattered across multiple sheets of paper — overlapping, outdated, and causing stress every time she needed to log in. One session created one clear system. That simple act of clarity gave her confidence not just in her accounts but in her entire home and life.  Taylor's Tip Time: Stop looking at all the piles. Just do one thing — one drawer, one countertop, fold and put the clothes away. Small actions create momentum and momentum reduces overwhelm.  TossItTuesday: Janet cleared out expired spices from the kitchen cabinet. When did you last check yours? If they are not adding flavor to your meals, they are not adding anything to your life.  Quote of the week: "Clarity creates confidence." Clear the Clutter. Claim Your Power. It starts with being still.  Connect with Karen Taylor Bass:Website: karentaylorbass.com Instagram: @KarenTaylorBass Radio: Soulful Sunrise — WURD Radio 900 AM / 96.1 FM, Monday through Friday 6 to 7 AM Book: From Bitter to Better — available at Barnes and Noble and independent bookstores (IngramSpark) Event: International Soulful Yoga Day — June 21, Philadelphia and South Jersey area  Connect with Janet M.

Most leaders know what sunk costs means. Far fewer have actually stopped factoring them into their decisions. In this episode of DarrenDaily On-Demand, Darren Hardy walks through the mental trap that warps judgment at every level of business and life: the tendency to let past investment drive future decisions, even when the math no longer adds up. The two-question framework Darren uses to cut through this is straightforward enough to apply before the end of the day. One decision, re-examined through this lens, can free up resources, clarity, and momentum that have been quietly locked away. Get more personal mentoring from Darren each day.

In this week's episode, I'm joined by Tracy Hoth — life coach, professional organizer, systems expert, and host of The Organized Coach Podcast. Tracy's work goes far beyond organizing physical spaces. She helps people understand the emotional patterns, mindset shifts, and habits that often sit underneath clutter and overwhelm. In our conversation, we talk about the connection between clutter, money, scarcity, and self-worth — and how decluttering can actually become a healing process. Tracy also shares practical strategies to simplify your home and life without falling into perfectionism.

In this episode, Amber explores the connection between boundaries, mindfulness, self-abandonment, and clutter. Through personal reflections on marriage, divorce, and blurred emotional boundaries, she unpacks how many women unconsciously override their own needs, capacity, and nervous systems over time. Amber discusses the difference between connection and access, how clutter can become an invasion of space and peace, and why mindfulness helps interrupt automatic behaviors like people pleasing, emotional overwhelm, avoidance, and self-abandonment. This episode is about awareness, boundaries, and beginning to reclaim space — emotionally, mentally, and physically. ➡️  For The 8-Hour Decluttering Plan, click HERE. ➡️ If you would like more information about my guided decluttering program email me at amber@declutteryourchaos.com or click HERE. ➡️  Download my free decluttering planner here: https://declutteryourchaos.com/decluttering-planner Let's connect:

Does your basement, garage, attic, or storage room feel completely overwhelming right now? Maybe it's filled with holiday bins, off-season clothes, old toys, paperwork, storage totes, sentimental items, or things you've been meaning to go through for years… and every time you walk into the space, you immediately feel stuck. In today's episode, I'm answering a question from a woman inside our community who shared that her basement clutter had gotten so overwhelming that she no longer knew where to start decluttering. This is one of the most common struggles I hear from women. Storage spaces often become the holding place for delayed decisions, busy seasons of life, sentimental clutter, unfinished projects, and the overflow of very full homes. So today we are briefly touching on: how to start decluttering a basement without getting overwhelmed simple organizing tips for storage spaces how to handle “what if I need this someday?” clutter why sentimental items can feel difficult to let go of realistic decluttering strategies for busy moms how to create momentum when you feel stuck practical ways to organize storage bins, holiday décor, toys, and miscellaneous household items how overwhelm, grief, and life transitions can affect clutter in the home This episode is not about perfection or becoming a minimalist overnight. It's about learning how to take the next right step, simplify your home little by little, and create spaces that feel lighter, calmer, and easier to function in. If you've been wondering where to start decluttering your basement, garage, or storage room, I hope this episode gives you practical encouragement and clarity to begin.

Do you ever feel bombarded by noise, screens, or crowds? It can be impossible to go anywhere without “clutter” running in the background and building up in our souls. Sadly, living in a constant state of stimulation damages our mental health and makes us feel disconnected from God's loving presence.  Join us for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi break down how to recenter your soul in God. You'll learn a simple practice to help you overcome distraction and stay connected with Jesus during every moment of life — whether spending time in solitude, running errands, sorting through emails, or ministering to others.   Resources for this Episode: Attend a Soul Shepherding Retreat Breath Prayer Guides Donate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

Live and Learn with Katie, Learn Something New!Clutter is not a character flaw. Sometimes, it just means the system you're using does not match the way your brain actually works

Sometimes we lose interest in things we used to appreciate—or we no longer have the time, energy, or physical capacity to pursue and enjoy them. After the thrill is gone, what was once essential gear can become nagging, guilt-ridden clutter. In episode #303 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, explores how to assess changes in our interests, evaluate the debris thereof, and let go of the old to make room for new passions.Show notes: https://cfhou.com/tcfw303The 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.

Want to be mentally stronger today? Buy The Mental Strength Playbook. Take a quick look around your home. How many piles of mail are sitting on the counter? How many clothes are in your closet that you haven't worn in two years? How much stuff is shoved in the garage, the spare room, or the storage unit you're still paying $200 a month for? Most of us are drowning in stuff, and it's costing us more than we realize. The research is clear that clutter drains your energy, fragments your attention, and quietly raises your stress levels every single day. But it doesn't stop there. Clutter eats up your weekends, strains your relationships, and keeps you tethered to a version of yourself you've already outgrown. And the worst part is that buying more bins or spending another Saturday cleaning rarely fixes it. My guest today is Faith Roberson, an organizing expert and author of What Stays and What Goes. She believes clutter isn't actually a discipline problem at all. It's an emotional one. And once you understand what's really keeping you stuck, letting go gets a whole lot easier. Some of the things we discuss are: Why clutter is almost never about laziness or discipline (and what it actually is) The "emotional tagging" exercise that reveals what your stuff is really doing to you How holding on to old belongings keeps you stuck in an identity you've outgrown Why "does it spark joy?" isn't enough, and the better question to ask The myth that selling your stuff is worth the time it takes How to handle sentimental items without feeling like you're betraying someone you love The three types of boundaries that determine whether your home actually feels like home Why your stuff is probably worth a lot less than you think (and why that's good news) The simple question to ask before keeping anything: can I actually care for this?
