This episode begins with the best and worst days to house hunt or car shop. https://www.weatherads.io/blog/how-weather-affects-consumer-behavior-and-purchase-decisions Clutter can really sneak up on you. First, it's a drawer, then a spare closet, then the extra bedroom gets filled with all sorts of stuff. By then you have a house full of clutter that can be hard to manage. Joining me with some very simple and practical advice is Tracy McCubbin. Tracy is an organizing expert and author of the book Make Space for Happiness (https://amzn.to/3Um3Eny). Listen as she reveals the harm clutter can cause in your life and how to fix it.  Who doesn't like pop culture?

Hear how Tracy McCubbin took her biggest pyschic wound and turned it into her life's work. Tracy helps people destress, save money and. precious time.. If you want to focus on what you can control, buying less stuff is something you can immediately start doing to mprove your life. We aren't saying you shoudn't buy those shoes, or that item that makes you happy (yes, buy the shoes)  but be intentional about the things you buy so you can free up more of you precious time and money for things you will enjoy. That means don't get things you don't need because they are on sale, learn about the common clutter and shopping traps most of use to avoid loneliness, boredom or to seek joy in the wrong places.    Also, on a macro level, when we buy less junk, or things that we don't realy need, we add less garbage to our planet.  Collectively, we can shift how we spend our resources!

We're opening the doors to a world where joy isn't just a feeling but a space we live in. We're talking decluttering with the queen of clean, Tracy McCubbin. Imagine your home, but with breathing room, where every nook cradles peace instead of piled-up papers. That's where Tracy takes us, transforming cluttered caves into serene sanctuaries. So, let's declutter your midlife and make room for you! Tracy's not just any tidying guru; she's a story of transformation. Growing up amidst clutter, she saw first-hand how possessions can overshadow life's true treasures. Her journey from Hollywood's glitzy chaos to the heart of home harmony shows us that change isn't just possible; it's a path to rediscovering ourselves. Diving into the clutter, Tracy reveals it's not about the stuff but what it signifies. It's a mirror to our mental clutter, reflecting deep-seated emotions and unresolved stories. But here's the twist – decluttering isn't just about letting go; it's about uncovering joy, one cleared corner at a time. Tracy's company, dClutterfly, is more than a cleaning service; it's a ticket to freedom. She shares tales of spaces and souls reborn, proving that decluttering goes beyond aesthetics to touch the core of our well-being. Ever thought your clutter could tell your story? Tracy does. She navigates us through the emotional labyrinth of clutter, highlighting the thin line between hoarding and being human. The shame, the guilt – she's seen it all and offers a hand to those ready to step into the light. From the 'seven Clutter Magnets' to the profound 'upstream causes,' Tracy's insights are a roadmap to a clutter-free life. But her actionable tips arm us for the journey, teaching us to hold on to what truly matters while letting the rest go. As we wrap up, Tracy's dual role as a change-maker in homes and hearts through OneKid OneWorld reminds us that decluttering isn't just personal; it's a global gateway to giving back. Join us as we laugh, learn, and let go, making room not just in our homes but in our hearts for that elusive joy. It's an episode that doesn't just declutter; it delights, inspiring us to pursue that spark of simplicity in our midlife adventure.

On today's episode of The CLS Experience, we have a very delightful treat. She's an organizational expert, badass entrepreneur, author, and Co-Executive Director of OneKid OneWorld, a non-profit building strong educational foundations for children in impoverished communities throughout Kenya and Central America. No big deal. She grew up with family members who hoarded, and she knows firsthand that the effects of living amongst an accumulation of possessions go far beyond the home's walls. BIG facts. This personal experience gives her contrast since she has a unique understanding of the mindset of the organizationally challenged. She was working for a major television director in Los Angeles when she discovered she had the ability to see through any mess and clearly envision a clutter-free space, and bring that to fruition for the world. That, in combination with her keen time management, allowed her to reinvent herself as an entrepreneur and organizational MASTER, and dClutterfly was born. She's just a juggernaut in all facets of life, and a terrific human being! Please welcome the delightful, vibrant, and organized, the abundant and charismatic Tracy McCubbin.

Tracy McCubbin has always referred to herself as “obsessive compulsive delightful,” but who knew she could turn that trait into a booming business? Twelve years and thousands of decluttered homes later, Tracy knew it was time to take what she had learned working with her clients and write a book to help others dealing with clutter, which is beyond life-changing. In this episode Tracy bounces around to her childhood, the difference between hoarding and having a clutter problem, the science of shopping, whether we need things or want them, and we dive deep into buying gifts for other people, as well as what we want for gifts. And this episode goes very deep, deeper than we even expected it to go.

In the US, people are exposed to hundreds of product advertisements each day. Advertisers know how to trigger us into buying things we don't need using Maslow's hierarchy of needs model. With many houses already bursting with clutter, how can we get rid of what no longer serves us and curb our buying of things we don't need? To discover how to declutter the nooks and crannies of our lives, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with declutter queen, Tracy McCubbin. Tracy is the founder of dClutterly, a business that helps people find joy in removing all the ‘stuff' that no longer brings them joy.

I have had my fair share of personal struggles with feeling inadequate in the face of unrealistic cleaning standards and the never-ending list of household chores. And while I know that a clean and organized environment impacts our well-being I also know that it doesn't have to be perfect. This episode includes my personal tips for living "cleanish," which is a more realistic approach to cleaning that can make things easier for all of us. I'll explain how to create a personal cleaning manifesto to help you define your cleaning priorities, plus, thought-provoking questions to assist in this process. I've also created a "Cleanish Game Plan" to help you take essential cleaning tasks and simplify, break down, and systemize them. As always, I encourage flexibility and that it's okay if things don't always go as planned. I hope my honest take on cleaning and homemaking helps you discover practical ways to love where you live.

I speak to Tracy McCubbin, an expert in decluttering, organising, and overcoming the emotional attachment to our belongings. With years of hands-on experience and a deep understanding of clutter, Tracy helps people reclaim their spaces. Tracy shares invaluable insights into the psychology behind stuff and the challenges that arise when inherited items become emotional burdens. She challenges the notion that objects hold inherent meaning and encourages listeners to question the attachment they have to their possessions. Tracy also provides practical advice on how to approach decluttering and organising. She dispels the myth of overnight transformations often portrayed on social media, reminding us that real progress takes time and effort. She shares anecdotes, including the story of the infamous painting of dogs playing poker and its unexpected journey to a new home.

Discover the root of your clutter problems, avoid overbuying, and let go. This conversation is a short clip from one of the Millennial Minimalists' most popular episodes to date, episode 158, where Kelly speaks with best-selling author and decluttering expert, Tracy McCubbin, to realize the underlying reasons for the clutter in your life. In Tracy's first book, Making Space, Clutter Free: The Last Book on Decluttering You'll Ever Need, she shares how clutter stems from Emotional Clutter Blocks, which she defines as the mind traps that we can get stuck in when we find it difficult to let go of our things. And, in her latest writing, Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want, Tracy goes a layer deeper by observing our Emotional Clutter Magnets, which she describes as when we buy things in an attempt to fill our emotional needs. You will be challenged to think about the emotional clutter blocks or magnets in your life so that you can start making space for more happiness.

Does your stuff own you? Does your house actually function well for you? Or do you ignore some cluttered rooms or spaces because they fill you with a sense of overwhelm? If any of this resonates, check out my conversation with @tracy_mccubbin on how to become more intentional with the things we own. Tracy has been in the decluttering biz for over 15 years and has amazing tips and insights for us.

Unfortunately, perfectly curated Pinterest boards don't always translate to perfectly organized homes. And while you can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow bookshelf, or a pantry full of labeled clear jars, those things may not actually serve you. And if in this pursuit of picture-perfect organization you've labeled yourself a bad housekeeper, or too lazy, you likely feel so off track that you don't even know where to begin again. Professional organizer and author Tracy McCubbin has spent thousands of hours helping her clients and now she is sharing the most insightful things she has learned along the way. And while she does have practical tips, including five questions to ask yourself about your organization right now, she also addresses the emotional component of clutter. Tune in to this episode to learn how to declutter by starting small, and in ways that are meaningful to you and your space.  Finding Me Academy My FREE DSL Training My FREE habits class Full Show Notes Sticky Habit Method Learn more about your ad choices.

We all want to declutter and organize our lives, but we can't do that without first talking about our buying and acquiring habits. Why do we shop and overbuy? What are clutter magnets? Where do we start when it comes to getting rid of things? Our expert guest, Tracy McCubbin, answers all of these questions and more. Absolutely loved chatting with Tracy and especially enjoyed doing '4 Things Gratitude' with her! The 4 things she's thankful for are so good (i.e. she impromptu shared some dating tips after revealing that she just got married for the first time in her 50s to a man she met on Bumble!!)    ABOUT TRACY: Tracy McCubbin is an entrepreneur, CEO, and the author of Making Space, Clutter Free: The Last Book On Decluttering You'll Ever Need (June 4th, 2019) and the newly launched book, Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want (Sourcebooks, October 4th, 2022). She has always referred to herself as "Obsessive Compulsive Delightful," but who knew she could turn that trait into a booming business? While working for a prominent television director in Los Angeles, Tracy discovered she could see through any mess and clearly envision a clutter-free space. Coupled with keen time-management and organizational skills, Tracy soon found more and more people were asking her for help. Before she knew it, dClutterfly was born. Over fifteen years and thousands of clients later, dClutterfly is currently Los Angeles' premier organizing and decluttering company. Tracy has been interviewed for several decluttering segments, including Fox 5 Washington DC and ABC7 Los Angeles, KTLA Morning News, KCAL9 CBS Los Angeles, and Good Day Sacramento. She and her company have also been featured in top-tier publications, including Real Simple, House Beautiful, Goop, Refinery 29 and Woman's Day.   When not decluttering, she is the proud Co-Executive Director of OneKid OneWorld, a non-profit building strong educational foundations for children in impoverished communities throughout Kenya and Central America. www.onekidoneworld.org  Tracy lives in Los Angeles and knows where her keys are.     Website: www.dclutterfly.com IG: @tracy_mccubbin FB: Tracy McCubbin TikTok: tracymccubbin YouTube: Tracy McCubbin   Best places to find more about Amy: RadioAmy.com + @RadioAmySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We will learn: The marketing tricks that leave us feeling like we always need more. Why our intentions to donate often fail. The 7 emotional clutter magnets and how to work through them. Have you ever noticed how clutter affects your mental health? It doesn't affect everyone the same way, but for the most part, it increases our stress levels, it makes it difficult to focus, increases the chance that we procrastinate, and can negatively impact our relationships.
