102: The Truth About Clutter Shame [Part 1]

You've decluttered before…so why does the mess keep coming back?
You've done the checklists, the bins, the late-night cleanouts—only to find yourself right back where you started. 

It's not your fault. You've just never been taught to declutter in a way that actually works long-term.

The Maximized Minimalist is the go-to podcast for women ready to declutter their homes, lighten their mental load, and finally feel in control of their space—and their life.

With over 5 million listens and a spot in the Top 50 global podcasts, host and holistic decluttering expert Katy Wells shares a fresh take on what it really means to clear the clutter—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Whether you're:
✔️ Drowning in laundry and clutter
✔️ Feeling behind on everything (including your own to-do list)
✔️ Tired of organizing the same space over and over
✔️ Or just craving a calmer, more peaceful home

This show will help you go from overwhelmed to in control—without the pressure to be perfect.

Inside each episode, you'll get:
✔️Practical strategies you can implement in 10 minutes or less
✔️Mindset shifts to help you let go (even of the sentimental stuff)
✔️Encouragement to quiet the guilt, the "what ifs," and the mental load
✔️And simple systems to help you keep the progress going

You might be wondering:
"How do I get my family on board?"
"What if I have emotional attachments to everything?"
"Why do I declutter and it still doesn't feel 'done'?"
"Can I really simplify when life feels so full?"

These are the exact questions Katy answers every week—with honesty, real-life examples, and step-by-step guidance that actually works for busy families.

Whether you're deep in clutter or just craving a little more breathing room—you're in the right place.
