Happy New Year Friends,

You know that moment when you walk through your house and think, I can't keep living like this.

You decide the new year will be different. You'll finally deal with the clutter. And then life happens.

This isn't a failure. It's life.

In this episode, we talk about why decluttering hasn't worked in the past.

Clutter isn't a motivation problem.

It's a nervous system problem.

When your nervous system is overloaded, avoidance makes sense. Your body is protecting you from more demand—including your home.

We cover:

• Why short-term decluttering plans fail

• How stress and shame keep people stuck

• Why consistency comes from safety, not pressure

• How regulating your nervous system makes letting go easier

We also do a short guided practice to help you pause, breathe, and take one small action without spiraling.

This isn't about doing more. It's about doing this differently.

If you want support doing this consistently, the year-long program is open. You can find all the details at https://declutteryourchaos.com/

Here's to a calmer, more supported 2026!
