149. Tasha’s Story – From Over-Organized Clutter to Clarity & Calm (Listener Spotlight Series 2025)


Listen Later

What if your clutter isn’t chaos… it’s color-coded?

In this powerful Listener Spotlight episode of The Slay At Home Podcast, we highlight Bootcamp Student Tasha—a mom, home-based baker, and self-identified organizing queen—who realized her beautifully labeled bins were hiding something deeper: emotional clutter.

Tasha’s story is for every mom who has the systems, the storage, the matching baskets… and still feels overwhelmed. It’s for the Practical Organizers. The Sentimental Savers. And the women trying to hold on to a life season they’ve outgrown.

Together, we unpack:

📦 Why “organized clutter is still clutter”
💔 How emotional attachments masquerade as practicality
🧠 Why being systemized isn’t always simplifying
✨ How Tasha used Bootcamp tools like the 5/5/5 Method and Story-Saver Strategy
🛑 And the truth bomb that changed it all: “You are not a storage unit.”

If you’ve ever kept the baby clothes “just in case,” bought another bin instead of letting go, or wondered why your organizing efforts still leave you exhausted—this episode will speak straight to your heart.
