You Thought You Were Just Organizing—But This Is What’s Really Happening

Have you ever started organizing your house, your office, your email inbox—thinking, “This time I’m going to be SO focused”… and suddenly, you’re crying?

Or maybe you just zone out. Two hours pass. Nothing’s done. You’re overwhelmed, discouraged, and the clutter’s still staring back at you.

That doesn’t mean you’re lazy. It doesn’t mean you’re disorganized. It means you’re coming up against the real work of organizing—and it has way more to do with your identity than your stuff.

In this episode of The Organized Coach Podcast, I dive into what organizing is really about. Yes, it’s about decluttering and structure.

But more than that? It’s about who you’re becoming in the process.

Key points:

  • Why organizing often triggers emotion, avoidance, or grief

  • What your clutter is actually trying to tell you

  • How identity stories like “I’ve always been messy” sabotage your progress

  • Why letting go of old items is also about letting go of old versions of you

  • How Organized Life Academy helps you rewrite those stories and become the calm, confident version of yourself

    If you’ve ever felt like organization “should” be simple but it never feels that way, this episode will help you feel seen—and supported.

    Doors to Organized Life Academy are open now for the rest of 2025!

    Join at half price, get June FREE, and finally become the version of you who feels organized every day.
