May 2025 - Bathrooms, Toiletries & Cleaners, Oh My!

Simplifying is foundational in everything I do, from business coaching, to leadership mentoring… even in energy work. So this isn’t just some side hustle or random tangent for me. The Simplified Year is the result of almost a decade of learning, implementing, and simplifying my stuff, my calendar, my business, and more. Simplifying my life actually saved my life when I was so depressed I was ready to give up. So it’s serious. I take it seriously. It matters so, so much.I went from something so seemingly simple as the bathroom breaking my mornings, and subsequently me……to: my bathroom counters are always clear, under my sink and in my cupboards is organized and easy to maintain, and my bathroom is tidy, clean, and not SO bad smelling usually. All of this consistently, without me having to overwork or exhaust myself to keep it that way, even after downsizing to a smaller home when I left my husband a few years ago, even as a single mom with three kids and pets, even while being CEO of a solopreneur style business online, and even as a multi-passionate, highly distractible ADHD woman.So I hope, if you are in that cycle of overwhelming clutter in any way shape or form, at any level, that what I share here in the Simplified Year helps you to break free.This month, in May, we are focused on bathrooms, toiletries, and cleaning supplies. We’re decluttering to simplify our bathroom experiences, to begin using the products we love, to make our mornings smoother, our homes happier and cleaner, and to align with the natural rhythm of a joyful life, faster.May Rhythm Posts:You can start wherever you need to, or follow these in order.
