150. Marissa’s Story – From Procrastination Paralysis to Peaceful Progress (Listener Spotlight Series 2025)
What if your clutter isn’t about laziness—but fear, fatigue, and emotional overload?
In this powerful Listener Spotlight episode of The Slay At Home Podcast, we walk through Marissa’s journey—a mom of two littles stuck in the paralyzing loop of procrastination, decision fatigue, and guilt. Her Clutter Keeper combo? Procrastinator + Reluctant Let-Go-er. If that sounds like you, sweet bee, this episode will meet you where you are and gently guide you forward.
Together, we unpack:
🌀 Why task avoidance is more about nervous system overload than “being lazy”
💛 How fear of regret can block decluttering decisions
🧠 What executive dysfunction looks like in real-life homemaking
🧺 The compassionate Bootcamp tools that helped Marissa finally make progress:
• The 15-Minute Tidy Flash Cards
• “Maybe Baby” Bin Strategy
• Routine stacking and visual prompts
✨ And the mindset shift that changed everything:
“Mess isn’t failure—it’s just momentum that hasn’t started yet.”
Featured Clutter Keeper Types:
🕓 The Procrastinator – waits for the perfect time to start, which never arrives
🧷 The Reluctant Let-Go-er – avoids letting go out of fear and emotional weight
