The Power of Living Intentionally

from Overcoming Overwhelm: A Podcast About Conquering The Overwhelm of Life and Stuff · host Jill Shepherd

Every organizing project eventually takes an unexpected 90-degree turn. What starts as “let’s deal with the stuff” almost always becomes something bigger. Life changes, hard realizations, boundary setting, and the uncomfortable clarity that sometimes comes when clutter is finally out of the way.In this episode, Jill breaks down why the opposite of disorder isn’t organization, its intentionality. She walks us through the four cornerstones of intentional living: making purposeful decisions, understanding the real cost of your stuff, defining your values (instead of assuming you live by them), and relearning how to notice your space, your habits, and yourself.Plus: a practical, no-nonsense take on using AI while organizing. Sometimes it’s helpful, sometimes it’s wildly wrong, and you definitely shouldn’t let a bot tell you whether your pez dispenser collection is funding your retirement.Messy and hopeful, this one is about much more than your stuff.  Learn more about Jill and her work at obdorganizing.com.
