Declutter to Destress with Allie Casazza

Do you feel so overwhelmed and stressed out you don’t know where to go or what to do? What if I told you that you could have a life that is aligned with your priorities and space for all the things you want to do? Well, friends, today is an episode just for you!  My friend and friend of the show, the brilliant Allie Casazza is here to talk about minimalism and tips on how to declutter to destress our lives, families, and home. We talk about hot mess mom culture, how to make minimalism work for you, and tips for managing the kids’ toys (and the dog toys, too!)  Allie Casazza wants to eradicate the "hot mess mom" stereotype by empowering other women. She has built a massive audience and a multimillion-dollar online business based on her proven, family-oriented approach to minimalism. She is also the host of The Purpose Show, a chart-topping podcast, and the creator of multiple online programs and courses that garner tens of thousands of registrations each time they run. Her platforms continue to grow every day as more women discover her life-changing approach to creating an abundant life.  Tune in to hear more about:  Allie’s journey on how she become the go-to “minimalist mom”  How to take ownership of your life by taking ownership of your space The ways being a mother impact your sense of identity The importance of setting the intent for each room in your home.  Favorite quotes: 1. If you can take ownership over your space, you can take ownership over your life. 2. You being a mom is not your identity. It is a piece of what you’re here to do, just a piece. A really beautiful important piece of it.  3. There’s always going to be some level of mess even if you declutter. So what can you do to stop taking on all the pressure on yourself to maintain the house and clean it up? Put your kids in charge of their own stuff, set boundaries, do chore charts, do consequences. Whatever it is that fits in your parenting style. Set it up in some way so you're not the only one doing everything.  4. It’s about connecting with who you are in each room and setting up your space to support you. When we do that, we have an intention for the space and that helps us make decisions about the stuff.  5. If clutter is always unmade decisions, then declutter is to make decisions.  In this episode I answer this question: I’m setting up my business, what are the most important systems I need to build right now?
