In this episode, Alissa is joined by her client and friend, Elena Willitts, a home organizing coach who helps women, especially Type B and Type C personalities to ditch the shame, create simple systems, and feel confident in their space. They talk about why traditional organizing advice doesn’t work for everyone, how clutter impacts your mental well-being (especially for highly sensitive people), and the deeper self-worth work behind creating a home you love. Elena’s unique approach blends mindset shifts with practical, low-pressure strategies so you can stop feeling overwhelmed and start partnering with your home in a way that feels good.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to separate your self-worth from the state of your home.
• Why decluttering first makes organizing so much easier.
• How “home validation” pep talks can shift your mindset about daily tasks.
• Simple, sustainable systems for people who aren’t naturally Type A.

About Elena:

Elena Willitts is a home organizing coach, mom of three, and founder of Kind Organizing. She specializes in helping women who have struggled with organization, many of whom are Type B or C, live with ADHD, or just don’t resonate with rigid, perfectionistic systems, find practical, shame-free ways to care for their homes. Her signature approach combines decluttering, realistic systems, and mindset shifts so clients can feel lighter, more confident, and more connected to their space.
