Ep. 238: It's Not the Clutter…But Here’s What it is

Send us Fan MailBefore we dive in, I need to ask you something.Is there a pile somewhere in your house that you walk past every single day?Maybe it's the kitchen counter. The mail that's been sitting there since Tuesday. The closet you shove things into and pray the door stays shut. The garage you haven't been able to park in for two years.You walk past it. You see it. And instantly…before you've even had your second cup of coffee there it is.That tightness in your chest.That low-grade hum of anxiety that follows you into your day.And the thought that comes in fast, almost like a reflex: Why can't I get it together?And then, because you're you, and you are a woman who holds it all together, or at least tries to, you push it down. You keep moving. You tell yourself you'll deal with it later. You've been telling yourself that for six months.Here's what I want to say to you right now, before we go any further:This is not about the clutter.I'm going to say that again, because I really need it to land.This is not about the clutter.This is about the cycle you're stuck in. And today, we're going to talk about what that cycle actually is, why all the decluttering advice you've tried hasn't worked, and…this is the part I'm most excited to teach you, how understanding your clutter language changes everything.Because here's what I know about you: You're not failing at decluttering.You've just never been taught how to understand what's actually going on underneath it.Stay with me. This is going to be good.Resources mentioned in this episode:midlifeclutterhelp.comGet some powerful mantras to inspire, encourage, and life you up when you need as little something intentional to focus on. We have a beautiful pdf download of the 6 Mantras For Intentional Moms you can keep or print.
