Podcasts about moms overcoming overwhelm

New here? Start with our Start Here playlist — five episodes that will change how you think about motherhood. You know you should declutter. You feel better when you do it. And yet the stuff just keeps piling up — on the counters, in the closets, in that one chair. If you've been carrying guilt about the state of your home, this episode is your permission slip. JoAnn sits down with Emily McDermott, decluttering coach and host of the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm podcast, to dig into why letting go feels so hard — and why it has almost nothing to do with laziness. From the guilt of getting rid of gifts to the psychology of why Target and Costco are basically designed to fill your home with things you'll never use, this conversation is equal parts validating and genuinely useful. In this episode: Why we have so much more stuff than previous generations — and why it just keeps coming The real reason decluttering gets put off again and again (hint: it's not that you don't care) How to handle the guilt of getting rid of a gift — especially when the gift-giver asks where it went Why keeping a gift out of guilt doesn't actually honor the relationship The photo trick that lets you release a gift without the weight of it What Costco and Target are actually selling you (it's not the stuff) The "aspirational self" trap — and why buying for who you wish you were is filling up your home What to do if you're catching the pattern after the fact, not in the moment Why holding onto something you feel guilty about buying is costing you more than you think The one thing to remember when you need permission to let something go Whether it's the Costco tent you bought because you thought maybe you'd camp, or the gift from your mom that's been sitting in a closet for three years — this episode will help you release the weight of it. You don't have to keep things out of guilt. And you don't have to earn the right to a home that actually feels good to be in.

How would your loved ones feel if they had to go through your stuff after you're gone? It's tough to think about, but the emotional weight of decluttering is heavy for those we leave behind. No one wants their family grieving while sorting through a lifetime of belongings—wondering what to keep, what to toss, and what any of it truly meant. That's where Swedish death cleaning comes in. More than just decluttering, it's a thoughtful, intentional way to organize your life now so your loved ones aren't overwhelmed later. I was so happy to sit down with Emily McDermott of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm to talk through: • What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly • What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships? • What book do we recommend to help you through the process? Walk away knowing: What is Swedish death cleaning?

We discuss: - how Katy realized she was using clutter as a shield after a car accident rocked her family's world in 2017 - her Holistic Decluttering Method including root awareness, the four types of clutter, and designing our homes for follow-through - how we can find freedom by letting go of identity clutter - arguably the hardest type of clutter for moms Katy Joy Wells is a declutter expert, podcaster, simplifier, hype-woman, and boy mom. Through her best-selling declutter courses and globally recognized podcast, The Maximized Minimalist, Katy inspires a grace-filled, practical and self-affirming sense of "Wow!

When you think of the word “legacy”, what comes to mind? What we leave behind for the ones we love? What if I told you that the legacy we leave our kids is a result of our actions today? In this eye-opening conversation with Julie Redmond on the Mom Made Plans podcast, we discuss the unhealthy coping mechanisms (including scrolling) that I've used to deal with the stresses of motherhood, and how recognizing the legacy I wanted to leave has allowed me to shift my perspective. I also offer some tactical strategies on how to leave a legacy by how we live in the mundane moments of motherhood. Julie, a two-time guest on Moms Overcoming Overwhelm, is a twin mom and host of the  Mom Made Plans podcast.  She is on a mission to make mom-life feel easier by getting out of survival mode and into intentional motherhood. She fully believes no routine or system will work until you know how you work. That means using self awareness filled strategies to become more efficient and impactful in your home.

I struggled to get pregnant and felt completely overwhelmed - until I discovered decluttering could create the physical and emotional space I needed to become a mom.   Now, two kids later, I've transformed my life and motherhood by developing simple systems around decluttering, capsule wardrobes, kids stuff, cleaning and tidying, meal planning, time management, and more- and I can't wait to share them with you!   If you're ready to reclaim the time and energy you crave, be present with your kids, and finally enjoy the life and motherhood you SO deserve - let's kick overwhelm to the curb, shall we? Grab your lukewarm coffee, your notebook and pen, and clear off some counter space! Let's do this.   *********************************   My show →   Get scholarships and pay for college without student loans!   Are you worried about how to pay for college? Stressed because it's so expensive? Are you having trouble finding scholarships, or all you find don't apply to you? Overwhelmed with all things school and money?   Welcome fam! This podcast will help you find and get scholarships, avoid student loans and maybe even graduate college debt-free!   Hey! I'm Kara, a Christian entrepreneur, amateur snowboarder, and scholarship BEAST! I figured out how to not only finish college debt-free, but I even had $10k left over in the bank after graduation. (& btw, my parents weren't able to help me financially either!)   During school, I was worried about paying for next semester. I couldn't find scholarships that worked specifically for me, and didn't know how to get started while juggling homework and keeping up with ALL.THE.THINGS.   But dude, I learned there was a better way! With God's direction, I tested out of classes, and found the perfect scholarships, grants, internships, and weird budget hacks that helped me go from overwhelmed to debt-free with $10k in the bank–all with God on my side.   ... and I'm here to walk you through this, too.   If you are ready to find scholarships specific to you, learn to manage your money well, and have enough money to kill it at college, this pod is for you!   So grab your cold brew and TI-89, and listen in on the most stress-free and debt-free class you've ever attended: this is Money and Mental Peace.   Topics included in this podcast: money management, manage money, money, broke, waste of money, college, debt-free, overwhelmed, work life balance, Dave Ramsey, budget tips, student, find scholarships, financial peace, financial peace university, FPU, college degree online, minimalism, minimal, declutter, clutter

Emily McDermot hosts the “Moms Overcoming Overwhelm” podcast and coaches people through decluttering their homes and hearts in order to make space for their purpose and calling.  She shares her heart of how she spent almost a decade decluttering which was born out of her struggle with infertility and her hopes of one day having space for a baby.   She relatably shares how we're all responsible for our own stuff, and then we get married and have kids and we feel like we're a full time stuff manager.  Can you relate?   As a wife and a mom, let's organize and declutter not for the sake of being on top of our homes, lets not organize and simplify for the sake of having a pinterest perfect home, but let's do it because we're made for more than being full time stuff managers.  We have to clear the excess so we can live in that calling.    What are 4 things that clutter robs us from? Time - having to tidy & organize or clean around things, the “stuff shuffle”  In a uncluttered home there's 40% less housework Peace - clutter stresses us out, no matter our clutter threshold It actually affects our cortisol levels. Physical Health Clutter impacts your sleep because your brain registers clutter as undone tasks. Energy Declutter fatigue is a real thing and it's causing us to feel stuck.   If we can remove unnecessary decisions we can have more energy to make decisions that matter. Emily McDermott is a wife, mother of two energetic boys, and simplicity seeker.

Did you know that the average American child receives over $6500 worth of toys before they reach their teens (source) but 8 of 10 kids play with 20 toys or fewer (source)? If your home is filled to the brim with toys - most of which your kids never touch - then a toy library may be a solution for you! Lisa Bourven is mom of two and was a stay-at-home-mom for almost nine years after leaving her career in corporate-level retail operations and analytics. She is married to a Frenchman and earned a graduate business degree in France, where she experienced the joy of living in a small space with less. After seeing the need for a “stay and play” solution that would alleviate many problems in her family's life (boredom, toy clutter, waste, budget, and tiny play space), The Toy Nest was born. On today's episode, Lisa and I speak about why she started The Toy Nest, the benefits of borrowing toys and enjoying the community that a toy library offers, and alternative options to borrow toys if you don't live close to a toy library. Do you live in Northern Virginia? Here's a special offer when you visit the Toy Nest and mention the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm podcast - you'll get one month of Flock membership for the price of Fledgling membership!

Hey Friend! I was completely exhausted from constantly feeling tied to my phone. I spent hours and hours on social media every day, posting and scrolling while missing what was happening right in front of me, convinced that social media was the way (the only way!) to grow my business. I felt ruled by this little device and I didn't know how to control it. Our phones are a luxury, to be sure, and they can be used for good, especially when it comes to running a business. But there's a fine line we tend to cross over where our relationship with our phone becomes unhealthy. It's easy to be completely obsessed and dare I say? Addicted! This used to be my story. In today's guest episode, you'll hear my conversation with my friend Emily McDermott on her podcast Moms Overcoming Overwhelm. Listen in as I share a bit of my journey of how I found my way from overwhelm and struggling to finally becoming the good, present wife, mom and business owner I truly wanted to be. Grab a notebook and pen, throw your phone out of reach and write down these tactical tips on how you can begin to develop a healthy relationship with your phone, or at least, a healthier one, take baby steps to reduce dependence and create realistic boundaries. It's time to ask the deeper questions and take back your time so you can be present, serve others and make an impact for God's glory. I pray this blesses you!
