Hey there, friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into a critical question: Are you giving up right before your breakthrough? I share a powerful story about the "Three Feet From Gold" narrative, which perfectly illustrates how close we often are to success when we're tempted to quit. Resistance isn't a stop sign - it's actually a signal that you're on the right path and growth is imminent. Drawing from my personal experiences and work with clients in Simplify, I explore how our mindset plays a crucial role in achieving goals. Many of us interpret challenges as reasons to give up, when in reality, they're opportunities for expansion. I use a relatable TikTok example of a 30-day health challenge to demonstrate how transformation takes time and commitment. The key message? Stay persistent. Your breakthrough might be just around the corner. Whether you're working on a business goal, personal development, or any significant challenge, remember: don't surrender when things get tough. You're likely much closer to your goal than you realize. Want more?

We took Parker and the girls and a few buddies to Dave and Busters a few weeks ago and there was this small thing that happened that has been a huge perspective shift in my life. it's worth a podcast episode.   I was telling Craig on the way there that I've kept all our past Dave and Buster's card organized in the Ziploc baggie in my purse so we have so many cards we have endless game credits we won't have to buy any cards it's literally gonna be the easiest trip to Dave & Buster's ever. So we get there and we're at that scanning machine and one by one each of the 10 cards I had been carrying around in my purse was empty- now they had tickets on them for the stuff in the prize room but zero game credits.   I was laughing so hard I literally couldn't catch my breath as every card we scanned in was a big fat zero and Craig jokingly said… Lindsay you have to stop keeping things.    And it was like the world stopped and I was like - wait a minute - I was sure those cards had value.  What else in my life am I keeping that I won't use or wear or anything. Things that are weighing me down for no reason.      This whole experience threw me into this new way of thinking… where I purge with a feeling of abundance, rather than holding on to things.    My goal in this episode is to help you discover what Dave and Busters cards you've been keeping… that are actually weighing you down.   I've realized more and more that my space needs to be completely organized for my life to feel organized - that's what we're unpacking today!      -The Myth of Value: When We Think Something Still Works Common examples: clothes that no longer fit your lifestyle, kitchen gadgets you “might need someday." -The Weight of Keeping Things "Just In Case" The emotional burden of storing, organizing, and maintaining stuff “just in case.” Letting go frees up not just space, but time, clarity, and energy. -Scarcity vs. Abundance Mindset The evolved mindset says: “I'll be okay without this.” If I really need it, I'll figure it out.  So many things we hold onto are a $10 pickup if we need it again  Purging is not wasteful — it's trusting yourself and your future. -Ask Yourself: What Are Your Dave & Buster's Cards? What am I holding onto that no longer adds value? What items feel more like obligation than joy? -Purge with Purpose — and Peace Tips for letting go: Make it a celebration, not a chore. Donate or re-home items to someone who needs them. Keep only what aligns with your current season of life. -The Clarity of Organized Space = Organized Life Organizing your space creates calm, energy, and creativity. When everything has a place, your brain gets a break. It's less about perfection, and more about flow and freedom. -Don't Carry Dead Weight Back to the Ziploc baggie — “it looked like it held value, but it was just weight.” Look at your physical spaces with fresh eyes. Find the freedom and confidence that comes from letting go.   Why an Organized Home = An Organized Life Mental Clarity & Emotional Lightness – Clutter creates mental overwhelm. When your space is clean, your mind feels clear and focused. Saves Time & Energy – No more wasting time searching for things! You can use that energy for creativity, work, or self-care. Boosts Productivity & Motivation – A structured space helps you feel in control and more motivated to tackle tasks. Reduces Stress & Anxiety – Studies show clutter increases cortisol (stress hormone). A tidy home means a calmer mind. Encourages Healthy Habits – An organized kitchen makes healthy eating easier; a tidy workspace boosts efficiency. Better Sleep & Relaxation – A clean bedroom promotes deeper, more restorative sleep. Unique Summer Cleaning Ideas Declutter by Energy Zones – Organize based on how a space makes you feel. If a room feels “heavy,” reassess what's in it. Reverse Spring Cleaning – Unload drawers as if you're moving, then only put back what you truly love or need. “One-Touch” Rule – When tidying, make sure each item you pick up is immediately put where it belongs. Seasonal Reset Box – Place items you're unsure about in a box. If you don't use them in 3 months, donate them. Declutter with Music & a Timer – Set a 30 minute timer & play loud music and go!  The “Why Do I Own This?” Test – Ask yourself if each item serves a purpose or brings joy. If not, let it go! Detox Your Digital Space – Clean up emails, files, and phone apps to declutter your mind.   I hope this episode inspires you to see organization as a form of self-care rather than a chore.  And helps you focus on what you're carrying around that you think serves you but is actually heavy dead weight.    CHEERS to your organized space & life!! 

 1. **Let go of people who drain your energy.**     Even if they're your best clients or close friends, it's important to recognize when a relationship no longer serves you. Letting go of people you don't need anymore can create space for better, more positive connections. Ask yourself: *Who or what is draining me?*2. **Let go of sacrifices that don't serve you.**     Are you in relationships where you feel sucked dry? Are you engaging in activities that no longer bring you joy? Or are you prioritizing your life partner over yourself? Remember, both partners should respect and value each other equally. Find solutions that honor your needs and well-being.3. **Let go of things you no longer enjoy.**     This could be old clothes, a car you don't love, or any clutter in your life. Declutter until you're surrounded only by things you use and love. The same applies to your work and living space. Ask yourself: *Do I truly love where I live? Do I need to renovate, change the colors, or even move?*4. **Let go of events and errands that don't align with you.**     If you're invited to events, meetings, or parties that no longer feel right, remember that it's okay to say no. You have the freedom to skip these without feeling guilty. Trust your instincts and prioritize your peace of mind.5. **Let go of books you no longer need.**     Books can take up a lot of space, and if they no longer serve you, it's time to let them go. I personally sort through my collection every five years to decide what stays and what goes. Otherwise, I'd be living in a library! I prefer using a Kindle because it saves space and keeps things simple. Letting go of unnecessary books can free up your energy and create a more peaceful environment.My Video: 5 Things to Give Up to Raise Your Vibration  INSTANTLY and Feel Happier  https://youtu.be/OHHOX8XayY8My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast4/5Things-to-Give-Up-to-Raise-Your-Vibration-INSTANTLY-and-Feel-Happier.mp3

Hey friend, Let's be honest—we all have that one pile (or several). The laundry basket full of random things. The kitchen counter that's never clear. The closet we hope no one opens. These doom piles—short for “Didn't Organize, Only Moved”—may seem harmless, but they slowly drain our energy, clutter our focus, and keep us in a cycle of stress and procrastination. In this episode, I'm walking you through six realistic, grace-filled steps to help you stop stuffing things away and start creating breathing room in your home and mind. Whether you're in a season of overwhelm or just tired of shifting the same clutter around, this conversation will help you pause, reset, and move forward with intention. We'll cover: Why clutter isn't just about stuff—it's about decisions we're avoiding How to spot the deeper reasons behind your “just put it here for now” moments The hope and wisdom to navigate seasons of overwhelm God has already provided you in His word. Practical steps to help you start small, stay consistent, and invite calm back into your home Scriptures that inspired this episode(KJV):

In this episode, I dive deep into how overwhelm is actually a safety mechanism for our brain. I explore why we default to feeling overwhelmed when facing challenges or stepping outside our comfort zone. The key insights include understanding that overwhelm is our brain's primitive way of protecting us from perceived danger, which can prevent us from taking action. I share strategies to break through overwhelm, such as:Recognizing it as a defense mechanismBreaking tasks into manageable stepsPrioritizing what matters mostSetting boundariesCreating space for rest and recoveryThe episode provides practical advice for business owners on managing multiple roles, avoiding burnout, and reframing overwhelm as a signal of growth. My goal is to help listeners transform overwhelm from a roadblock into an opportunity for personal and professional development.Want more?

In this episode, I explore the concept of leverage in your business, focusing on strategic time management and maximizing efficiency through automation, delegation, and smart decision-making. Using practical examples, I demonstrate how business owners can optimize their time by targeting warm leads, choosing the most effective social media platforms, and prioritizing outreach strategies. The key is asking, "Where will I get the most leverage?" rather than spreading efforts thin across multiple channels. I emphasize that strategic thinking prevents overwhelm and helps entrepreneurs make more impactful choices by focusing on existing networks, identifying high-engagement platforms, and being intentional about time allocation.

How Do We Get The Jeff To Declutter?Corey's in-laws are coming in town on Saturday, and she is desperately trying to get the house in order. She has her areas maintained, but Jeff's stuff is everywhere. He has a million pairs of Nike shoes, his hot rod tires, a tire jack, miscellaneous stuff everywhere, etc. How does she approach the subject without treating him like a child? She doesn't want to feel like his mom.How Much Would You Spend For Peace & Quiet?According to the poll of 2-thousand U.S. adults, the average American would pay $2,521 for just one day of peace and quiet. Sure, that's a huge amount of money, but parents would be willing to shell out even more - $1,147 more, on average.The average person only gets 9.5-hours a month to themselves.The biggest things standing  are work (50%), family commitments (32%), financial constraints (24%), and social obligations (22%).But 13% admit they actually feel guilty when they finally get free time.More than half (53%) say they need more alone time than they're getting now, and it turns out, they're not above being dishonest to get it.More than a third (38%) confess they've lied to friends, family, or even their partner to get some time to themselves.“I'm not feeling well” is the most common lie told (54%), followed by “I have a lot of work to do” (40%), “I have a headache” (33%) and “I have an appointment” (33%).To have just a lazy morning to themselves, parents would pay an average of $325, and people would be willing to spend $339.80 just for one extra hour of sleep.Crazy Wedding Dress MomEveryone knows that only the bride should wear white to a wedding. It seems one mother of the groom didn't mind making this major faux pas when her son tied the knot, but she took it to the next level and showed up in a full bridal gown and veil to match. A now-viral Reddit post from someone claiming it happened at their cousin's wedding."Everything was going smoothly until the groom's mother walked into the hall in a full-length white gown. Lace sleeves. Sparkly belt. Veil," the guest writes. “She looked like she was about to walk down the aisle herself.” As you'd expect, everyone was shocked by her attire, even the bride and groom, and the mom reportedly told people it was “tradition” in their family for the mother of the groom to wear white.“To make things worse, the groom's mom tried to stand next to the bride and groom during the vows, and even held the bride's bouquet at one point,” the post explains. During the reception, the mother was introducing herself to people as “the first woman in his life.” Despite her mother-in-law's fashion choice, the bride managed to remain calm and her new husband reportedly kept telling her, “I'm so sorry” over and over. Let's just hope this mom let the newlyweds go on their honeymoon alone!Second Date Update: Amber calls us about Craig. She says they had a lovely meal together and now he's ghosting. Did she do something to his food?

Ever feel like your home is battling Instagram's "after" photos? I certainly do! My chat with Courtney Florey of Declutter and Dwell tackled this, as she believes these unrealistic standards can hinder progress by fostering comparison and pressure for perfection. We agreed homes are meant to be lived in, not just admired, and it's normal if yours isn't magazine-ready. This pressure can deter us from even starting, fearing too much time, money, or effort, or leading to burnout. Her practical advice includes aligning your home with your life's priorities and starting with small, easy areas to build confidence and momentum.

My guest Ingrid is part of the dynamic duo from The Declutter Hub podcast and she shares how thinking through the emotions and potential pitfalls can be super helpful to prepare you well for the task of the doing when it comes to decluttering.For instance, if you have a quantity problem, it requires more than just decluttering a cupboard... you actually need to do some thinking about why you have a clutter problem, what causes the problem, what feeds the problem, how to tackle the clutter itself, what do you need in order to have success... and once you've done the thinking... then you can be strategic in the doing.Follow The Declutter HubWebsitePodcastYouTubeJoin 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.

In this week's podcast episode, I'm exploring the concept of "talking back to your brain," revealing how our minds naturally default to negative thoughts as a survival mechanism. I'm diving into how by consciously challenging and reframing unhelpful thought patterns, individuals can reduce stress and overcome self-doubt.The episode delves into understanding automatic negative thoughts and how they influence emotions and actions. I offer practical techniques for interrupting negative thought cycles, including pausing to question the validity of negative thoughts, using thought challenges to examine limiting beliefs, and practicing visualization and thought journaling. I also emphasize that reframing negative thoughts into actionable, positive ones is a skill that can be developed over time. I'm sharing how talking back to your brain is a mental exercise, and I encourage you to start small and gradually increase your capacity to manage thoughts effectively.My key message this week: be conscious of your thoughts and not be afraid to challenge them. Empower yourself to take control of your own mental narrative.Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

Stressed, overwhelmed, or stuck in that overthinking loop? Lira kicks things off by revealing the transformative power of self-reflection – your personal anchor in the chaos. She shares how this simple practice has been her comfort, her grounding force, and a vital tool when life gets heavy. And if you're struggling to navigate those tough emotions solo? She reminds you that reaching out for support is a superpower, not a weakness.This isn't just theory; it's a toolkit for your well-being.

No notifications, no music, no scrolling. Discover what your mind and body tell you in stillness.Revisit your happy place: Dive back into that old song, show, or memory that made you feel safe and seen. Let nostalgia heal and remind you how far you've come.Curb the screen time overload: Give your brain a much-needed break from constant input and discover the freedom that comes with less scrolling and more living.Affirm your worth: Speak positive affirmations out loud. Hear your own voice remind you that you are not broken, just navigating.Practice radical self-forgiveness: Release the shame and blame for how you've coped. Embrace compassion and remind yourself that growth takes time.Tidy your sanctuary: How cleaning your physical space can literally shift your mindset and invite the emotions you desire into your life.Embrace the tears: Why crying isn't weakness, but a powerful release that sets you free from trapped emotions.Do one thing just for joy: Break free from the need for productivity and indulge in an activity that simply feels good, no reason required.Lira underscores that healing isn't a tedious chore; it's a gentle, playful, lifelong journey found in the small, everyday acts of self-love. Your mental health isn't just important; it's relying on you to be human, to set boundaries, to detach from the external noise, and to embrace freedom.Don't miss this essential guide to prioritizing the most important person in your life: YOU.

Send us a textDecluttering isn't just about tidying up—it's about creating space for peace in a chaotic world. Hitting 1 million downloads calls for celebrating with a powerful guest, and Connie Graf delivers with compassion and wisdom that will transform how you approach your environment.Connie, founder of "From Chaos to Peace," reveals why most of us struggle to implement organizational systems despite knowing what to do. "The information is not necessarily the problem," she explains. "The problem is why aren't we doing what we often know we need to do?" This question unlocks a fascinating exploration of procrastination, fear, and the hidden barriers to creating supportive environments.Drawing from her Swiss background and years helping entrepreneurs, Connie shares her framework of four personality types—fire, earth, air, and water—each with unique organizational challenges. Fire types start enthusiastically but struggle to follow through. Earth types get trapped in endless planning. Air types overthink everything. Water types become emotionally overwhelmed by their possessions. Understanding your type provides targeted strategies that actually work.The conversation takes a vulnerable turn when discussing why change feels so threatening. "I think I will not recognize myself if I change and I'm afraid of that," one client confessed. This fear keeps many stuck in chaos despite craving peace. Connie's gentle advice? "A few minutes a day keeps the chaos away." Small, consistent actions build momentum without triggering resistance.We also explore the cultural pressures on women to "do it all" without seeking help, and how setting boundaries—though initially uncomfortable—creates the foundation for genuine peace. As Connie wisely notes, "We can only create more peace in the world if we have peace within us and within our families."Ready to transform your environment from chaotic to peaceful?
