Anne Steppe is on a mission to simplify spaces so that her clients can live well with less: less clutter, less chaos, and less stress. We could not be more on board with this mission! In this episode, she shares with us the biggest things that make an impact on the amount of clutter in your home and how you can implement those things today. Plus, she shares her own experience of downsizing from a 4,000 square foot home to a 2-bedroom apartment and getting rid of sentimental clutter to do so. If you're on a decluttering journey yourself, this episode is for you!

As the Owner of Step by Steppe Professional Organizing for over 15 years, Anne has worked with clients in and around the Charlotte area to help them systematize their spaces to enhance their lives and wellbeing. She empowers her clients to live into the vision they have for their homes, lives, and businesses by organizing in ways that create efficiency, fuel productivity and spark creativity.

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

• Even if the clutter in your home "doesn't bother you," studies show it actually does. Anne dives into studies showing clutter's immediate impact on your heart rate, breathing, and energy levels.

• You might've heard the "one in, one out rule" for keeping clutter under control, but Anne's experience shows we have way more stuff than we realize. She actually suggests for every one item you bring into the home, you should get rid of three items to make a dent in your home's clutter. Deep breaths!

• Clutter does not just impact your family in the here and now. When we eventually pass on, all of our stuff gets left behind for our kids and grandkids to deal with. Be intentional about the legacy you want to leave behind.
