Closets and brains can be similar that way.

Let us not even pretend that the online world we spend so much of our time in is harmless. Or, the endless emails, slack/teams messages, not to mention the calendar invites. They are all chipping away at your sanity one beep at a time. In this episode, I am naming the quiet chaos that is digital clutter: draining your energy, focus, and calm. Are you okay with that? I know I'm not! Let's name the elephant in the room so we can carefully avoid the seductive algorithms, AI overload, and the illusion of being 'always on'. But is it the tech, or something deeper, maybe our own Boundaries? Huh? I share what I have learned, from my own team, other people, and lived-experience. Let me tell you, it is not about perfection, but intention. Take a breath. Reclaim your serenity. Because your wellbeing depends on it.   ** Key Points ** Digital clutter drains energy Boundaries over technology Tips to Declutter your Digital Life   #DigitalClutter #Introverts #FlourishingIntroverts   *** Resources *** Visit https://hub.flourishingintroverts.com/resourcesp for tools and resources mentioned during the podcast.

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?

In this chat, we dive into Sarah Horgan's journey toward intentional living and minimalism, which was sparked by her battle with stage four cancer. She talks about how perfectionism and people-pleasing shaped her life, and how mindfulness and emotional health became key in her transformation. Sarah explains how minimalism became a deeply personal journey, not just about physical stuff, but about self-awareness, emotional healing, and simplifying life for more fulfillment. We also discuss her experience with the challenges of motherhood, highlighting the importance of self-forgiveness, the impact of consumerism, and how minimalism plays a role in parenting.Sarah Horgan of Simple + Intentional is a coach, teacher, wife, and mom to a 6-year-old, passionate about living simply. Her journey to simplicity began in 2014 when she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, which led her to deep self-reflection. Over time, she realized that perfectionism and people-pleasing weren't serving her, sparking a shift toward simplicity. Becoming a mom further pushed her toward minimalism out of necessity, as she navigated the challenges of parenting without family support. By decluttering her home, she found it easier to maintain a calm, organized space, which allowed her to focus on internal growth. Sarah's mission is to help others simplify their lives, let go of unnecessary clutter, and prioritize what truly matters.Guest Links Web: https://www.simpleintentional.com/IG: http://instagram.com/simpleintentional/Chapters00:00 The Journey to Intentional Living08:51 Mindfulness and Emotional Health18:10 The Deeper Meaning of Minimalism23:59 Practical Steps to Declutter and Simplify29:40 Navigating Body Image and Self-Care34:16 The Journey of Self-Forgiveness39:39 Minimalism and Motherhood44:15 Spring Cleaning: A Fresh Start48:29 Rapid Fire Reflections-----------------CONTACT US: sustainthispodcast@gmail.comJOIN OUR PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/SustainThisPodcast SIGNE HANSENYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@UseLess_dkWebsite: https://www.uselesswardrobe.dk/IG: https://www.instagram.com/useless_dk/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@useless_wardrobeCHRISTINA MYCHASYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristinamychasWebsite: https://www.minimalist-ish.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/christina.mychas/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@christina.mychasALYSSA BELTEMPOYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlyssaBeltempoWebsite: https://msbeltempo.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/msbeltempo/TT: https://www.tiktok.com/@msbeltempo If you loved this episode please share it on your stories and tag us!

In this episode, I'm sharing how perfectionism sabotages business growth and personal progress. I'm defining perfectionism as the belief that everything must be flawless, rooted in fear of judgment and failure. Through personal stories and client examples, I'm sharing common perfectionism traps like over-preparing, procrastination, endless content tweaking, and avoiding visibility. I'll also be offering you practical strategies to overcome these barriers, including setting time limits, adopting an 80% rule, practicing "good enough" thinking, and outsourcing tasks.My challenge for you: recognize how perfectionism is preventing you from making meaningful impact.By shifting focus from flawless execution to consistent effort, entrepreneurs can break free from perfectionism's paralyzing grip and move their businesses forward. Free Resources:Sign up for the FREE mini-course - Your Most Productive WeekFollow Amanda on Instagram

In this second half of last week's discussion, Kelly and Lauren open up about the messy, real side of living a minimalist lifestyle. You will continue to be reminded that living a Minimalist lifestyle is about surrounding yourself with what you need and love and letting go of the rest. And since excess will always come and go, this lifestyle requires regular check-ins and mistakes are part of the process. Kelly and Lauren answer the following questions:  What area(s) of your life still feels cluttered? Or, what area of your life feels challenging to maintain at times? What's something you keep more quantities of that you admittedly don't need or love and need to work on letting go of? Can you share a story of how you overpacked on a trip or failed your minimalist ways while travelling? What's one area of clutter are you still working on such as physical clutter, a habit, mindset etc.? What advice would you give to someone who is new to minimalism and is struggling with doing it perfectly?

In this episode, I'm walking you through 5 specific things to declutter now that will make your summer feel easier, more peaceful, and way more manageable. No massive overhaul. No organizing binge. Just small, powerful wins that help you create the margin you're craving. Because here's the truth: You don't need more bins or a color-coded summer calendar.

You don't have to organize your whole house or start a garden to have a meaningful summer. I'll help you pick one thing—and release the rest with zero guilt. 5️⃣ Breaking Free from the Pressure to “Do Summer Right” This one goes deep. I'm sharing what shifted for me when I gave up being the Pinterest-perfect fun mom and chose presence over performance.

Did you hear about the mortgage broker who always ate lunch alone? Yep—it turns out he was a loaner.Okay, a bit of levity to start the program today, but you know what's serious business? Buying or selling a home. Are spring and summer still prime seasons to jump into the market? Dale Vermillion joins us for insight on today's real estate and mortgage trends. Dale Vermillion is the author of Navigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home. This book covers everything you need to know about securing a mortgage—all from a biblical perspective.Is Spring Still a Seller's Market?While spring and summer are still active seasons, seasonality in real estate isn't what it used to be. The rise of online listings means people shop for homes year-round. However, warmer weather, the end of the school year, and a desire for fresh starts still push many families to buy and sell during this time.There's a lot of activity right now. Listings are up over 700,000—33% more homes than last year. And new home sales? Up to 76,000 in just the last 30 days.With more homes on the market and fewer buyers competing, this may be the best opportunity to buy a home since 2021.Selling a Home? Stand Out With These TipsIf you're on the selling side, you'll need more than a “For Sale” sign. Here are a few key steps to rise above the noise:Price your home right from day one. Use recent comps, a professional appraisal, and work with a local agent who knows your area. Stage your home well. With more buyers relying on online home tours and 360° walkthroughs, curb appeal and clean, well-lit interiors matter more than ever. Declutter and simplify. Remove excess items and ensure the space feels open and welcoming—both inside and out.Buying a Home? Here's How to Prepare WiselyFor starters, you need to understand that pre-approval is not the same as pre-qualification. Pre-qualification is often based on unverified info. You want a full pre-approval, where your application, income, credit, and down payment are all verified.This not only makes your offer more attractive to sellers but also helps you understand what you can realistically afford. And that's the other key point—know your budget. Don't rely solely on what a lender says you qualify for.Create a detailed budget based on your actual income and expenses.Consider your long-term financial goals, not just your current desires.Most importantly, pray about your decision. Ask God for wisdom and peace before making such a significant commitment.What About Mortgage Rates in 2025?Many are still waiting for interest rates to drop—but experts say don't hold your breath.The Fed rate may drop a few times this year, but that mostly affects short-term debt like credit cards and auto loans. Mortgage rates, on the other hand, are driven by the 10-year Treasury note.As inflation eases, mortgage rates may follow, but they're expected to remain relatively stable for now.If you're a buyer, now could be the right time to act, with high inventory and lower competition. But as always, make sure your decision is rooted in financial wisdom and prayerful dependence on God. Only buy what you can afford, and trust the Lord through the process.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I just retired and received a $20,000 check. I'm not sure what I should do with this money. I have a Roth, some savings, an annuity, and a 401(k), but I haven't talked to a financial planner about my current financial status. What should I do with this $20,000?I write one check every Sunday to tithe to my church. If everything goes electronic, I don't know how to track it.As I get closer to having my home paid off, I would like to know if it's better to keep an outstanding balance on my mortgage to maintain the mortgage credit and homestead credit for property taxes, or just pay off the home and deal with increased taxes.Years ago, when we were leading classes with Howard Dayton, our group discussed how collecting offerings at church feels very personal. When the offering basket is passed and a deacon holds it, we almost see it as Jesus' hand holding out the basket. It becomes a very personal act of giving, almost like giving directly to Jesus himself. I'm curious how many people over 65 still write a lot of checks.Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Bankrate.comChristian Community Credit Union (CCCU)An Uncommon Guide to Retirement: Finding God's Purpose for the Next Season of Life by Jeff HaanenNavigating the Mortgage Maze: The Simple Truth About Financing Your Home by Dale VermillionWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on Money (Pre-Order)Look At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Be inspired to embrace minimalism as an ongoing, perfectly imperfect practice! In this first part of a two-part discussion, Kelly and Lauren open up about the messy, real side of living a minimalist lifestyle. You will be reminded that living a minimalist lifestyle is about surrounding yourself with what you need and love and letting go of the rest, whatever form that clutter takes. And since excess will always come and go, this lifestyle requires regular check-ins, and yes, mistakes happen! Kelly and Lauren each answer the following questions:  Can you share something that you decluttered that you later regretted? Can you share a recent story of an impulse purchase that you regretted and what you learned? What's one minimalist principle you admittedly haven't perfectly followed? Has a minimalist lifestyle ever felt unattainable to you? Can you share a moment where you felt like Minimalism didn't fix everything?

Jill plays a pivotal role in shaping the platform's mission and driving its vision of healthy, microplastic-free living while helping households detox their spaces and make non-toxic, sustainable choices.

In this show we discuss how to approach the process of decluttering personal belongings with sensitivity and intention, especially in the context of end-of-life planning. We emphasize the emotional and practical importance of sorting through possessions ahead of time to reduce stress for loved ones and ensure meaningful items are passed on thoughtfully. The conversation highlights the therapeutic aspects of letting go, the challenges families face when no plans are in place, and the value of starting early to make the process less overwhelming and more purposeful.

In this refreshing and practical episode of Cropped, Wendy lightens the tone of the season by talking personal style - specifically, how to build a wardrobe that reflects who you truly are. Inspired by her recent international move and the limitations of packing light, Wendy shares insights on simplifying your closet, identifying your go-to pieces, and why dressing for yourself is the ultimate expression of confidence. From timeless staples to thoughtful accessories, this episode is all about curating a wardrobe that works for your life right now - without the pressure of trends or clutter.

I've never considered myself a person who cares about fashion or "style" so when I first stumbled across Julie Allen on Instagram, I didn't expect to stick around. But something about the way she talked about clothes felt different. It was kind, approachable, and freeing. Julie teaches women how to embrace style tools instead of style rules, and as I listened to her, I realized how much that philosophy overlaps with how I think about motherhood. There's no one right way to be a mom—or to get dressed. It's about finding what fits you and building a life you love from there. Julie is a mom of six and a style educator who's passionate about helping women reconnect with themselves through the way they show up each day. In this episode, she shares three style principles that double as beautiful life lessons for moms—and they might just shift the way you think about both your wardrobe and your parenting. We'll talk about: ✨ How to use style (and motherhood) tools instead of rigid rules ✨ Why you're allowed to express different parts of yourself—on any given day ✨ The importance of building your motherhood on a foundation of your core values Whether or not you've ever cared much about fashion, this episode will help you feel more confident in showing up as you.

This episode is all about The Vacation Reset.  How to come home, take a fresh look at your routine, and use everything you felt and experienced on your trip to make your everyday more fulfilling. So rather than having post-vacation blues you have this fresh perspective on everything - what you're eating, what you're spending your free time doing, and what makes you feel the most alive.  It a post-vacation breakthrough podcast.     1. Why Vacation Is Such a Powerful Reset You break your routines naturally — new places, new foods, new experiences. You slow down and experience joy more intentionally. You're more present and tuned into how you actually feel. Mini Thought: → When you remove the autopilot of daily life, you notice what truly lights you up.   2. Coming Home: The Moment of Clarity You can feel what routines were serving you and which ones felt heavy. You're often able to clearly see what you missed (the good stuff!) — and what you didn't. Your nervous system resets — you realize where you were operating from stress without realizing it. Mini Thought: → Vacation gives you the contrast you need to upgrade your life.   3. How to Create Your Personal Vacation Reset Reflect: Ask yourself: What made me happiest on this trip? What did I not miss about home? Audit your life: What parts of your daily/weekly routines could feel lighter, freer, more intentional? Add in Micro-Experiences: Can you add mini "vacation moments" into your normal weeks (like trying new foods, spontaneous adventures, walks without your phone)? Declutter Your Calendar: Remove one thing that drains you. Commit to one thing that fills you up. Mini Thought: → Tiny changes = huge shifts in how your days feel.       4. Use Momentum Instead of Falling Into the Post-Vacation Slump Most people fall into the "Maui Blues" — they mourn that vacation life is over. Shift the story: Vacation isn't the escape — it's a preview of what more joyful living could look like. Plan small things you can look forward to each week (adventures, date nights, slow mornings). Keep something “vacation-inspired” going (sunsets, meals outside, afternoon walks). Mini Thought: → Build your real life to include the things you love about vacation life.     5. Fresh Eyes on Your Big Goals Being away from your normal environment clears your mental windshield. Look at your big goals again — are they still aligned? Or is it time to pivot? Use the renewed sense of energy and perspective to make bold moves or corrections. Mini Thought: → Fresh energy = a fresh roadmap toward what really matters.       Action items!!    -Make a list of what lit you up!  -Notice what you didn't miss about being away and what you dreaded coming back to then audit your calendar.  -Make a playlist that reminds you of your trip to keep that vibe going.  -Add something into your routine that you loved from your trip.  Like reading 10 pages or a long walk after dinner.  -Declutter one part of your space.  -Try a food at home that you loved on vacation.  -Think of tiny daily things that you loved there. Walking barefoot, eating more fruit, etc.      Vacation isn't just a break — it's a gift of perspective. And the best thing you can do is bring that joy, that presence, and that clarity back into your daily life. Instead of mourning the end of vacation, use it as a launchpad for better habits, better experiences, and a more intentional, vibrant life. Every day can have a little bit of that vacation magic — if you design it that way. Thanks for listening, and here's to your most awesome Vacation Reset yet!     Here is a link to Lindsay's 2.0 Calendar System if you want to tie this all together!  https://howtobeawesomeateverything.com/pages/2-0weeklyhabitsandplanningsystem
