As the kids head back to school and routines reset, there's no better time to declutter! Not just your space, but your mind. In this episode, we are bringing back a conversation with professional organizer, Anne Steppe. She helps usher in a clean-slate mindset by showing how simplified surroundings lead to more peace, productivity, and presence at home. Anne shares practical tips you can apply today, plus her personal journey of downsizing from a 4,000-square-foot house to a 2-bedroom apartment.

Whether you're clearing the clutter after a chaotic summer or looking to reset your space for fall, this replay will inspire you to let go of what no longer serves you and create room for what truly matters.

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:

• You might think your clutter isn't affecting you, but your nervous system says otherwise. Anne walks us through what the research actually shows: more stuff = more stress, whether we're aware of it or not.

• Turns out "one in, one out" doesn't cut it anymore. With the sheer amount of stuff most of us accumulate, Anne recommends a new rule: for every item you bring into your home, remove three. It's bold - but it works.

• Your clutter has a legacy. It's not just your daily peace at stake. Eventually, someone else will be left to sort through what you leave behind. Be intentional about the story you want your stuff to tell.
