        High achievers often pride themselves on getting things done—but at what cost? When perfectionism, people pleasing, and limiting beliefs drive our choices, the result is often burnout, resentment, and clutter (both in our homes and in our minds).

        In this powerful conversation, I sit down with certified life coach Kamini Wood, who helps high achievers release old patterns, overcome self-sabotage, and create balanced, purpose-driven lives. Together, we explore how perfectionist pressure sneaks into our organizing habits, why people pleasing keeps us holding on to stuff we don’t love, and the tools we can use to finally feel free.

        We Cover:

        • How perfectionism and people pleasing show up in your home, routines, and mindset
        • The JADE method to stop over-explaining and reclaim your voice
        • Why boundaries are a process, not a one-time fix
        • How to recognize limiting beliefs and shift toward values-based goals
        • Practical ways to declutter both your space and your mind for more balance and joy
        • If you’ve ever felt like you “should” be able to handle it all on your own, this episode is the reminder that you don’t have to—and that freedom comes when you let go of the clutter, inside and out.
