Confession: My house is VERY cluttered.

I have never been good at letting go of things. “I might need that someday!” “What about the grandkids? They’ll want to read that book!”

I’m always a little anxious and yet inspired when I talk to organizers and decluttering experts, and this conversation with Katy Wells will not disappoint!!

Her story was a huge surprise to me and made her all the more believable. Katy is super passionate about keeping a home that allows you to focus on what truly matters, and I love her sense of balance and reality as well.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• What clutter really is (and why we might not have heard about decluttering 30+ years ago)
• Women’s biggest clutter pain points (see if these rooms in your house have issues!)
• Why fixing the clutter problem is never as easy as “following a checklist”
• The 3 layers of clutter and challenges that come with the deeper layers (and no, that’s not physical layers as in the piles on your desk LOL!)
• How to teach kids to clean up, declutter, and start life with the right mindset about STUFF!
• A sneak preview of Katy’s brand new workshop in the #LifeSkillsNow summer camp, season 3!
• Why we can find beauty in our messes (a tear jerker!)
