Podcasts about declutter

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll meditate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  For March we are decluttering our wardrobes. Each Saturday episode will give you a very small area of your wardrobe to help you focus. You'll have all week to declutter that area before moving on to the next focus area. If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288.

Have you ever noticed that the only time your house gets truly clean is right before company arrives? You're not alone. But that frantic, shame-fueled cleaning comes at a cost—and it's not sustainable. In this episode, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register dive deep into the difference between cleaning from shame and cleaning from a place of grace. They explore why those "shame spirals" actually make clutter worse over time and how to interrupt the cycle with practical, doable systems. What Listeners Will Discover How to recognize when you're in a shame spiral versus simply operating at low capacity The concept of a "minimal viable house"—what systems to maintain even on your worst days Three common shame scripts cluttery people tell themselves (and why they're wrong) Practical daily anchors for laundry, dishes, and surface resets How to build grace into your systems so missing a day doesn't derail everything Why kindness to yourself actually builds capacity over time The Minimal Viable House Instead of striving for a picture-perfect home, Kathi introduces the concept of the "minimal viable house"—the basic systems that keep life functional even when energy is low. For Kathi, these include: Laundry: A simple schedule (Sunday and Wednesday) with decluttered drawers so clothes have a place to go Surface resets: Clearing at least one key surface daily (even half the kitchen table counts!) Dishes: Getting dishes handled in whatever way matches your capacity that day Key Takeaways The episode challenges listeners to move beyond all-or-nothing thinking. When you're operating at a "four out of ten," the goal isn't perfection—it's sustainability. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich is better than fast food. Half the kitchen table cleared is better than none. One day behind is manageable; two months behind feels hopeless. As Tenneil beautifully puts it: when you give yourself permission to do less, you develop "room for grace, which means you get to skip a day" without the whole system falling apart.

What if the quickest way to feel calmer isn't another mindset shift… but clearing one small corner of your home? February on Chasing Brighter was all about resetting our nervous systems, resting without guilt, and reconnecting with ourselves. Now as we head into March, we're gently moving forward—starting with the space we live in every single day: our homes. In this episode, Jessica and Kelly welcome back Diana Moll, founder of D's Declutter and host of Organizing With Ease, for a grounded, realistic conversation about how clutter impacts stress, energy, and daily life—and how simple, sustainable systems can help your whole family function with more ease (without chasing Pinterest perfection). In This Episode, We Talk About Why decluttering isn't “having less”—it's making room for calm and clarity How your home can either drain your energy or help restore it The real challenge: not starting… but maintaining your systems How to stop comparing your home to “perfect” online spaces and meet yourself where you are Kid-friendly routines that actually work (and yes… the legendary “black bag” story

Reframe how you think and feel about decluttering your wardrobe—with zero guilt, and a lot more you. In this episode of The Style Stories Podcast, I'm breaking up with the outdated rule: “If you haven't worn it in a year, get rid of it.” That tiny sentence has caused more anxiety, shame, and decision-paralysis than almost anything else in your wardrobe. Instead, I walk you through a fresh, kinder, more intelligent way to edit your clothes so your wardrobe reflects who you are now—not a past version of you. We dive into: Why you're not wearing so many of the clothes you own (and it's not because you're lazy or bad with style) The TWO key questions to ask yourself instead of “Have I worn this in a year?” How to work out whether something still feels like you today How to spot where your wardrobe is unbalanced (workwear, going-out, occasion pieces, everyday “in-between” outfits) Why chasing a perfect 10-piece capsule can actually block your personal style How to start listening to your gut so getting dressed feels easier, lighter, and more you If you're ready to stop feeling guilty every time you open your wardrobe and start making calm, confident decisions about what stays and what goes, this episode is for you. Join the FREE Wardrobe Decluttering Challenge If you want to put this into action, you can join my free decluttering challenge inside my Facebook group. You'll get: Simple daily prompts Support and accountability A chance to share your “keep or let go?” dilemmas And you don't have to do it alone.

Do you find yourself constantly asking, "Why can't I keep up with my house?" or beating yourself up for being "undisciplined"? What if the problem isn't that you're lazy—but that you're depleted? In this eye-opening episode of Clutter-Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register dive deep into the difference between discipline and capacity—and why understanding this distinction could change everything about how you approach your home and yourself. What You'll Discover in This Episode Inspired by a viral video from Dr. Raquel Martin, Kathi and Tenneil explore why so many cluttery people are incredibly hard on themselves, using destructive language like "I just need to work harder" or "I wish I wasn't such a slob." But what if there's another explanation? The truth is: Discipline needs structure to work, but capacity needs restoration to expand. When your capacity is depleted, no amount of willpower or elaborate systems will help you keep up. Practical Strategies Shared Simple routines that stick: Learn how doing the same things on the same days can transform your week One-minute habits: Discover micro-moves like wiping down the bathroom counter after makeup that build muscle memory Low-decision systems: Create automatic habits that require almost no mental energy Capacity builders: Explore how sleep, movement, nutrition, and right-sized commitments can expand what you're able to accomplish Key Takeaways Instead of asking "What's wrong with me?" start asking "What's wrong with my current capacity?" This shift from self-criticism to curiosity opens the door to real, lasting change. Whether you're struggling with a cluttered kitchen, an overwhelming to-do list, or just feeling perpetually behind, this episode offers compassionate wisdom and practical tools to help you move forward—one small step at a time. Stay tuned for part three, where Kathi and Tenneil will tackle how clutter accidentally creates shame and what we can do to get rid of it.

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast!

Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More!  If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288.

Have you ever wondered why your decluttering systems only seem to work for a week before falling apart? Why you can't seem to stick with routines that work perfectly for everyone else? The answer might surprise you—and it has nothing to do with your willpower. It's Not a Discipline Problem—It's a Capacity Problem In this eye-opening episode, Kathi Lipp and Tenneil Register explore the crucial difference between discipline and capacity—and why confusing the two leads to shame spirals that make clutter worse, not better. Inspired by a powerful video from Dr. Raquel Martin, this conversation will change how you think about your decluttering struggles. What You'll Learn in This Episode The fundamental difference between discipline (habits, consistency, systems) and capacity (energy, margin, health, emotional bandwidth) Why you can't shame or discipline yourself into success when your capacity is depleted How to assess the real "size of your plate" before loading it up with expectations What discipline needs to work: simple routines, clear space, and repetition What capacity needs to be restored: sleep, stillness, fewer commitments, nutrition, and grace Why grief—including grieving lost capacity—plays a bigger role than you might think The Question That Changes Everything If you're constantly asking yourself "Why can't I keep up with my house?" or "Why do I always feel behind?"—stop. The real question isn't "What's wrong with me?" It's "What is my current capacity?" As Tenneil shares from her own experience recovering from an accident and loss, sometimes God's answer is simply: rest. Sleep. Stillness. Fewer commitments. And that's not giving up—that's giving yourself what you actually need to move forward. Key Takeaways Your goals aren't bad—your systems might just be built for a capacity you don't currently have When capacity shrinks, you need more support, curated priorities, and restored energy—not more willpower Exhaustion isn't a character flaw; it's information about your current circumstances Stop trying to put 10 pounds of potatoes into a five-pound bag This is part one of an important series on capacity, shame, and practical tools for maintaining your energy. Don't miss next week's continuation of this life-changing conversation.

Robyn asks: “My kids' clothes need downsized. I can't seem to get all the clothes clean so I can go through it all and get rid of a bunch.

What if getting organized didn't mean becoming a completely different person? What if it meant working with your brain instead of against it? In this episode of Chasing Brighter, we're kicking off our March theme — Organized, Not Perfect — and having an honest conversation about why traditional organization advice often leaves women feeling behind, overwhelmed, or like they're “doing it wrong.” Because here's what we believe: You don't need a prettier planner. You don't need to wake up at 5 a.m. You don't need a Pinterest pantry. You need simple systems that support your actual life. The one with kids in sports. The one with late nights and early mornings. The one that's beautifully full — and sometimes chaotic. We're exploring: Why perfection-based organization increases stress The difference between supportive systems and rigid expectations How to reduce friction in your daily life Why the goal isn't aesthetic — it's ease And how to build structure that feels like freedom Chapters 00:00 Navigating Connection and Disconnection 08:42 Shifting Perspectives in Relationships Connect With Us:

✨ Declutter to Receive: Clear Space, Get Positioned ✨Sometimes the reason you can't receive more is because you haven't released what no longer fits.This episode is a real conversation about decluttering — not just your home, but your mind, your habits, your schedule, and even your identity. I had to ask myself a hard question: Why am I holding onto things I'm not even using? And once I started letting go, everything felt lighter. More room. More air. More clarity.

Decluttering, home organization, and clutter psychology—organizing expert (and MY HERO!) Peter Walsh (Clean Sweep, Space Invaders) joins me to talk about why clutter isn't about the stuff and how overconsumption keeps our homes overwhelmed. If you're stuck in perfectionism, struggling with the mental load, or feeling guilt about waste and donations, this episode will help you declutter with clarity and confidence. AND I tried to only fan girl a little bit!Peter shares what he's learned after 20+ years of helping people and opening over 10,000 boxes of clutter on Space Invaders, including why real change comes from addressing the story behind the stuff—not buying better organizing products.We discuss: The link between clutter and consumption/coveting Why decluttering isn't an event—it's a mindset and process The key question: What do I want from my life, and what do I want from this room? Practical starting points (5 items a day, trash bag tango, reverse coat hanger trick) Storage solutions vs the reality of space limits How to avoid rushing people through change (intention vs impact) You can find more Clutterbug content here: Main YouTube Channel: @Clutterbug Website: http://www.clutterbug.me TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@clutterbug_me Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clutterbug_me/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Clutterbug.Me/ Peter's Website: https://peterwalshdesign.com/ #Clutterbug #PeterWalsh #Decluttering #HomeOrganization #OrganizingTips #ClutterFree #DeclutterYourHome #ClutterPsychology #Minimalism #Overconsumption #NoBuy #LowBuy #ShoppingAddiction #MentalLoad #Overwhelmed #Perfectionism #CleaningMotivation #SpaceInvaders #CleanSweep #OrganizedHome #SimpleLiving #MindsetShift #HomeDeclutter #ReduceStress #StopBuying #Consumerism #FamilyOrganization #ADHDOrganization #StorageSolutions #HoardingHelp Learn more about your ad choices.

What if your clutter isn't really about your stuff… but about your identity? In this powerful episode of Authentic Talks, Shanta sits down with brand strategist, life coach, and author Don Suttajit to talk about his new book, Tidy Less, Live More: An Identity-Based Approach to Decluttering and Organizing Your Home and Life.After spending 15 years helping corporations find their voice, Don realized something deeper: many of us lose ourselves — and our homes begin reflecting that inner confusion. Through his “I AM” system and his Live Freely Project,Don shares why traditional organizing methods often fail and how lasting change starts from the inside out. Why organizing systems don't stickThe connection between inner clutter and physical clutterScarcity mindset and how it shows up in our homesIdentity-based motivation and behavior changeHow to declutter with purposeWhy “new year, new me” resolutions failWhat it truly means to live freelyIf you've ever cleaned a space only to see it fall apart again…If you've struggled to let go of things you paid for…If you've felt overwhelmed, stuck, or divided internally… This conversation will meet you right where you are.

Do you long to invite people into your life but feel like your house just isn't ready? Maybe you're mid-project, mid-clutter, or mid-life chaos, and the thought of having someone over feels overwhelming. If that's you, this episode offers the permission and practical strategies you need to start practicing hospitality right where you are. What You'll Discover in This Episode Sue Donaldson, author of Never Alone: Stories of Invitation and Connection, joins Kathi Lipp to share how she maintained a life of hospitality even during a 13-year home remodel—complete with Tyvek paper windows and mice running down the hall. Her stories will make you laugh, tear up, and most importantly, feel empowered to open your door. The Difference Between Hospitality and Entertaining There's a crucial distinction that changes everything: entertaining focuses on impressing people, while hospitality focuses on meeting their needs. When we understand that hospitality is about the guest—not our perfectly styled home—we're free to invite people in regardless of our circumstances. Why Planning Creates Freedom Sue Donaldson shares how simple preparation (like keeping frozen cookie dough logs ready) allows her to focus on guests rather than frantically preparing. When the food and basics are planned, you have the mental space to truly connect with the people at your table. The 15-Minute Company-Ready Plan What can you realistically accomplish when a friend texts that they're stopping by? Sue Donaldson and Kathi Lipp break down the essentials: clean bathrooms and kitchen counters, folded afghans, fluffed pillows, and coffee brewing. That's it. Your guests truly don't notice the 15 things you wish you'd gotten to. Hospitality Beyond Your Home When your house simply isn't in a hosting space, there are beautiful alternatives: porch hospitality, third-place connections, offering to sit together at church, dropping soup on a friend's porch, or simply texting "I can pray right now." Connection doesn't require a dining room table. Key Takeaways Hospitality is a commandment—and God provides the strength when we obey The more you practice hospitality, the more at ease you become Your 15-minute prep is more about making YOU comfortable than impressing guests Chocolate helps make a friend (keep frozen cookie dough ready!) Create the invitation that matches who you are right now Whether you're in a season of renovation, health challenges, or just everyday chaos, you can still live a life of invitation.

Guys, You know that moment when you think, "I should just deal with this," and instead you shut down and walk away? And then you spiral into "I can't get anything done" mode? That's what we're solving in today's episode. The number one thing you need to do to get rid of clutter isn't organizing. It's changing the way you think about it. Because thoughts create feelings. Feelings create behavior. And behavior is what keeps clutter in place—or allows it to shift.

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast. It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.  In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It's only about 20 minutes and you'll mediate on the whole life of Jesus. February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.  If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin: 316. Your 2026 Life Overhaul Plan: Faith, Clutter, Debt, Diet and More! If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer. 288. Summer Declutter Series Just getting started on your decluttering journey? Give this episode a listen from a few weeks ago. 322. Guidelines To Decluttering ***Are you so overwhelmed with clutter that you find yourself unable to make any decisions? Do you plan on decluttering only to find yourself standing in a room confused about where to start? Are you hoping motivation will strike and you'll get it all done in one weekend? If this sounds like you, let's work together. Book a one hour virtual coaching session via Zoom. Together we craft a decluttering plan and I walk you through the process.

Hey Guys, At the end of this episode I share a five minute decluttering meditation.  By the end of this episode, you'll have a simple three-step process to take back your space — without shame, without force, and without waiting for your house to be perfect first. Most people believe: "When my home is organized, THEN I'll feel calm." "When everything is in place, THEN I'll be happy." "When I finally get ahead, THEN my life will flow. Clutter is not the cause. It's the mirror. Your life runs on this loop: Thoughts → Feelings → Behavior When you change the way you think about your clutter, you change the way you feel about it — and that changes how you act. "What is this here to teach me?" "What do I get to learn?" "What do I get to choose next?" That shift moves you out of victimhood and into authority.

Do you ever wake up to a sink full of dishes, no plan for dinner, and a morning that feels like it's already behind before it's begun? You're not alone. For those of us who struggle with clutter and chaos, mornings can feel like an uphill battle—but what if a simple 15-minute routine the night before could change everything? In this episode, Kathi and Roger Lipp dive into the concept of the "closing shift"—a short, intentional nighttime routine designed to set you up for success the next day. This isn't about deep cleaning or overhauling your entire home. It's about crisis prevention: doing a few small things tonight so tomorrow doesn't spiral into chaos. What You'll Learn in This Episode What the closing shift is and why it matters for cluttery people Five simple tasks that take just minutes but make a huge impact Why "out of sight, out of mind" works against us—and what to do about it Dopamine-friendly tweaks to make boring routines actually enjoyable How to use habit stacking and room mapping to save energy Tech tips like alarms and shared checklists to keep you on track Why systems that only work at 100% energy aren't really systems at all The Five Closing Shift Tasks Kathi shares five go-to tasks for an effective closing shift. You don't need to do all five—just pick three that fit your life: Load or unload the dishwasher – An empty dishwasher in the morning is like winning the lottery Prep food for tomorrow – Pull meat from the freezer, check ingredients, or prep a salad Do a 10-item put-away sprint – Clear items that have been "hanging out" too long Start a load of laundry – Towels, sheets, and basics can wash overnight Set up breakfast or coffee – There's nothing better than waking up to coffee that's ready to go Making It Fun: Dopamine-Friendly Tweaks Let's be honest—there's no natural dopamine hit in the closing shift. Nobody claps when you wipe down counters at 9 PM. But Kathi and Roger share creative ways to make it more rewarding: Reward yourself afterward (Roger's reward? Mario Kart!) Play energizing music during your routine Use a sticker chart—yes, even as an adult Make it a game: Can you unload the dishwasher before your oatmeal timer goes off? Key Takeaways This is not cleaning—this is crisis prevention. The closing shift isn't about having a perfect home. It's about being kind to your future self, saving money (no drive-through coffee!), and starting tomorrow from a place of calm instead of chaos. Remember: If your system only works when you're at 100%, it's not a system—it's a fantasy. Build routines that work even on your tired days, and give yourself grace when you need to restart.

Hey Guys, Living with someone who won't declutter can feel exhausting, lonely, and impossible to solve. In this episode, we talk honestly about why common advice fails, why pushing and angry cleaning actually make things worse, and why strategy alone cannot fix a problem that lives in the nervous system. Using real-life examples, family dynamics, and polyvagal theory, this episode explains why clutter becomes a battleground, how resentment builds, and what actually creates lasting change — without forcing, threatening, or trying to control other people.

Hi Friends, Many of us can push ourselves to get things done: decluttering, cleaning, organizing, even life admin.  And we often feel proud afterward. But then we don't come back to it!  The motivation disappears, avoidance creeps in, and clutter slowly returns. In this episode, we unpack why that happens from a nervous system and psychological perspective, why pride isn't the same as sustainability, and how self-worth, self-criticism, and threat perception shape our ability to follow through. This conversation reframes productivity, motivation, and decluttering through the lens of safety, conservation, and regulation, not willpower.

Do you walk in the door exhausted, drop your keys somewhere random, and then spend the next morning frantically searching for them? You're not alone. The daily scavenger hunt for keys, wallets, and important mail is one of the most common—and fixable—sources of stress for anyone battling clutter. In this episode, Kathi Lipp and Roger Lipp get refreshingly honest about what's working in their home and what still needs improvement. They explore why those of us who struggle with clutter often resist boring systems in favor of exciting quick fixes—and why that approach keeps us stuck in crisis mode. What Listeners Will Discover Why "boring systems" are actually the secret to lasting clutter freedom How dopamine-seeking behavior sabotages our best organizing intentions The three components of an effective landing pad system Real examples of what's working (and what's not) in the Lipp household How to pair unpleasant tasks with rewards to build lasting habits A simple script for walking in the door that takes seconds but saves hours The Landing Pad System A landing pad is simply a designated spot near your entry where everything that comes in and goes out of your home has a place. Kathi Lipp and Roger Lipp share their wins—like the hook system inside a cabinet for keys and the staging chair for outgoing items—plus their ongoing struggle with mail management. The key insight? Systems don't have to be perfect to be helpful. They share their real-time brainstorming session for solving their mail problem, complete with choosing a location, setting a weekly processing time, and—critically—pairing the task with a treat. Key Takeaways Boring systems prevent daily emergencies - Like flossing prevents expensive dental bills, a landing pad prevents the morning panic of lost keys Reduce resistance - Put your organizational systems in the natural flow of movement through your home Pair hard tasks with rewards - The "Monday Munchies" approach ties an unpleasant task to something enjoyable Out of sight is out of mind - For clutter-prone people, avoid containers with lids for items that need regular attention Create a script - A simple routine (hang keys, sort mail, done) removes decision fatigue Whether you're starting from scratch or fine-tuning an existing system, this episode provides practical, doable steps to create a landing pad that actually works for real life—not just for Instagram.

Hey Clutterbugs! Today, Sabrina Soto and I are chatting decluttering, interior design tips, and intentional living hacks to create a home you're proud of, without perfectionism, overwhelm, or a massive budget.Let's make your home feel like a sanctuary, boost your self-esteem, and design a life that actually supports your nervous system. Sabrina's origin story is WILD (yes, it starts with a burrito and ends with her finding an HGTV job on Craigslist at 4am), and it turns into the best reminder: you don't have to be ready or perfect—you just have to start.We get into the real connection between your home and your life: how clutter drags your energy down, why “a clean home” isn't vanity (it's self-worth), and how small changes, like creating simple “vignettes,” setting up visual cue zones (smoothie bar, coffee bar, cleaning caddy, workout corner), and refreshing a space with a pillow or lamp—can change how you feel every single day. If you've ever felt embarrassed to have people over, overwhelmed by your kitchen, or like your bedroom is anything but a sanctuary, this one is for you.
