147. The Truth About Clutter: Why Busy Moms Don't Need More Storage, You Need Less Stuff


Listen Later

Welcome back to The Slay At Home Podcast, where we take a gentle, empowering approach to homemaking, decluttering, and creating peace in your home. Today’s episode is going to challenge the way you’ve been thinking about storage, clutter, and the emotional load of keeping too much stuff.

If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by clutter and tried to fix it with more storage bins, baskets, and closets, this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into why the solution isn’t more stuff tucked away neatly—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you. Less stuff equals more peace, and I’m here to show you how to start embracing that freedom.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • The emotional cost of keeping things "just in case" and how it contributes to mental clutter and stress.

  • Why organizing isn’t a cure for clutter and how it can often make the problem worse, creating hidden clutter and guilt.

  • The mental toll of “storage thinking” and how excess storage just provides more places to hide your clutter, leading to decision fatigue.

  • A gentle, actionable plan to declutter your space in a way that works with your current season of life—no more trying to fit yourself into someone else’s idea of home organization.

  • How to implement the BEEZ Method to simplify your home and create systems that align with your energy and needs, not someone else's Pinterest board.

  • Real-life tips and simple strategies you can try today to reduce clutter and restore peace to your home.

    This episode isn’t just about tidying up. It’s about creating emotional space, mental clarity, and freedom from the pressure to keep up with the latest organizational trends. By the end of this episode, you’ll feel empowered to let go of what no longer serves you, and you’ll have actionable steps to begin simplifying your home—today.
