Ep. 102: Your Home Should Support You, Not Exhaust You with Organizer, Claire Shoolin

What if your home could actually help conserve your spoons instead of using them up?In this season finale of The SpoonFull Show, I’m joined by Claire, founder of The Uncluttered Soul, for a conversation about chronic illness, clutter, grief, and creating a home that works for the life you’re actually living...not the life you thought you’d have.We talk about what “decluttering for Spoonies” really looks like when energy and mobility are limited, why traditional organizing and productivity advice often falls short, and how small changes can reduce the everyday friction that quietly drains our energy.Claire also introduces us to the idea of “fantasy self clutter”—the things we hold onto because they represent who we used to be, or who we thought we would become. We talk about the grief that can come with changing abilities, letting go of expectations, and giving ourselves permission to create spaces that support who we are now.And, of course, Claire shares practical tips for making your home more accessible and functional without spending a fortune or trying to make everything perfect.This is a conversation about decluttering, but it’s really about so much more: self-compassion, acceptance, conserving your spoons, and making room for the life you have now.Find Claire and The Uncluttered Soul at https://www.theunclutteredsoul.co/or email: [email protected] up for a free discovery call online!Follow SpoonFull of Strength to see podcast clips and release info at:Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/spoonfullofstrength/⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@spoonfull.of.strength⁠⁠Looking for chronic illness apparel?
