🎙️ From Chaos to Calm: How to Create Zones That Actually Work

Welcome back, beautiful Bee! 🐝 If your home feels like a never-ending swirl of clutter, chaos, and half-finished organizing projects, this episode is your gentle turning point.

Today, we’re talking about zone-based organizing—but not the Pinterest-perfect kind. We're diving into a Type B-friendly strategy I call Zero In + Zone It, a peaceful approach to decluttering, home management, and reducing mental overload for moms who want rhythm without rigidity.

If you’ve ever walked into your kitchen and instantly felt overwhelmed by visual clutter…

If your entryway is a drop zone for everything…
If you want your home to feel functional and calm—but don’t know where to start…

This episode is for you.

We’ll explore:

  • How zones reduce cognitive load and decision fatigue

  • Why Type B moms thrive with flexible, purpose-driven spaces

  • Real-life examples of entryway zones, kitchen prep stations, playroom systems, and more

  • How to match your organizing efforts with your energy, not just a schedule

  • The emotional toll of clutter and how to reclaim peace in your home

    You’ll also learn how to:

    • Define what a space is for (and what it’s not for)

    • Create low-effort systems that actually stick

    • Build sensory-friendly areas that soothe instead of stress

    • Start decluttering one zone today—with zero guilt and all grace

      ✨ Whether you're tackling a cluttered coffee station or setting up a toy zone your kids can actually maintain, this episode will help you transform chaos into calm—one gentle zone at a time.

      🧡 Want more support? Inside the Type B to Queen Bee Declutter Bootcamp, you'll get my full Zero In + Zone It Guide, printable templates, and video tutorials that help you build an entire home system designed for how you actually think, live, and mom.

      Because peaceful homes aren’t built overnight—they’re built one doable rhythm at a time.
