300: 300 Episodes Later The 3 Biggest Lessons on Living Simply and Intentionally


Listen Later

Can you believe it? 300 episodes! What started as a simple mission to help women declutter has grown into a movement—one filled with transformation, growth, and more "aha" moments than I ever imagined.

To celebrate this milestone, I'm sharing the three biggest lessons I've learned after all these conversations and coaching sessions. If you've ever wondered what it really means to simplify, this one's for you.

In this episode:

  • Lesson 1: Clutter Is a Symptom Decluttering is rarely about the stuff—it's about what the stuff represents. Guilt, fear, or a past identity? I share a powerful story from a listener who let go of more than just boxes of craft supplies.
    • Try this: Ask yourself: What does this item represent, and is it helping me move forward?
  • Lesson 2: Change Starts With Compassion You can't bully yourself into being more organized. Real growth begins with kindness and curiosity. Ditch the self-criticism and make space for grace.
    • Try this: When you feel overwhelmed, ask: How can I meet this moment with kindness instead of criticism?
  • Lesson 3: Simplify Your Time First Decluttering your calendar matters just as much as decluttering your closet. Learn how I started protecting my time—and how it brought more peace than any organizing bin ever could.
    • Try this: Ask: What's one thing I can say no to this week to create more space for what matters?

✨ Your challenge: Take one small step. Whether it's clearing a drawer or reclaiming 15 minutes of quiet, small shifts = big results.

Thanks for being part of this amazing journey. Here's to the next 300!
