Hey Friends,

Decluttering isn't a motivation problem. It's a nervous system problem.

In today's episode, we talk about why clutter often shows up as a coping strategy during seasons of overwhelm—and why pressure, shame, and "just trying harder" don't work.

You'll learn how avoidance forms, what maladaptive coping looks like in the home, and how to work with your nervous system instead of against it.

This episode includes a guided nervous system regulation practice you can use anytime—before decluttering, when you feel overwhelmed, or when you notice yourself avoiding your space.
