079 - Fall Cleaning vs. Spring Cleaning: What Your Home Really Needs This Season


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re exploring why fall cleaning might be just as, if not more, important than spring cleaning. 

We often think of spring cleaning as the big reset, the time to throw open the windows, shake out the rugs, and start fresh. But fall cleaning has its own purpose: preparing your home for coziness, connection, and the season ahead. This is when we move inward, and our homes hold us most deeply.

This episode is for you if you’ve ever:

  • Wondered what the difference really is between spring and fall cleaning

  • Felt the weight of clutter hanging over you as routines pick up again

  • Wanted to create a calmer, cozier home before the holiday season

  • Needed encouragement that slow progress is still progress

We’ll explore:

  • Why fall cleaning is about preparing your home and energy for the months ahead

  • The key areas of your home that benefit most from a seasonal reset (mudroom, pantry, closets, winter accessories, and living spaces)

  • How decluttering and organizing are about more than aesthetics, they’re about energy and flow

  • Simple ways to celebrate your progress, even if it feels small

  • How to set yourself up for a smoother, more nourishing season at home

Fall is the perfect time to reset. Let’s use this season’s energy to clear what’s been hanging over us, prepare for what’s ahead, and create a home that feels calm, supportive, and ready to hold us well.
