008: What Our Physical Clutter Tell Us About Our Mental Clutter with Kenzie Harkey

48 minutes

In today’s episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast, I’m chatting with Kenzie Harkey, a professional home organizer and the Founder & CEO of Simply Dare. Through Simply Dare, Kenzie helps busy and overwhelmed homeowners take control of the physical clutter in their life and build systems that keep their homes functional and beautiful. I was so curious about how home organization can affect mental health AND what our physical clutter might tell us about our mental clutter. If you struggle to get your clutter under control, this is the episode for you!

Some of Kenzie’s amazing tips and takeaways are:

When organizing a space, visualize what you want your space to look like. Write down three words that you want to describe how you want the space to look and feel when you’re done re-organizing it to help guide the design and organizational systems.

Pay attention to the items in your space that you’re holding onto because of other people’s expectations, or the expectations you’ve placed on yourself. Letting go of the expectations helps you unload those unwanted items - and those unwanted thoughts!

Make sure everything coming into your home has a purpose, and that you’re practicing being a more conscious consumer. Remember: bins and other organizational items that don’t have a purpose are just clutter, too!

Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that.
