If your house still looks like the holidays just packed up and left five minutes ago… you're not alone. In this episode, Katie and Heather ditch the pressure to "do it all" and focus on something far more realistic: small household wins that actually make life feel lighter.
Join us as we talk honestly about the current state of our homes—what never got reset after the holidays, which routines completely fell apart (hello laundry, meals, paperwork, bedtime, workouts), and what feels truly overwhelming versus surprisingly manageable. From the unrealistic "January reset" culture to social media's perfectly curated pantries and clear bins, we unpack why comparison and all-or-nothing organizing plans lead straight to burnout.
Katie shares her love–hate relationship with "big trash bag energy," while both reflect on why January doesn't actually mean a fresh start—life didn't reset just because the calendar changed.
This episode is a permission slip to stop overhauling everything, let go of the pressure, and embrace realistic progress. PLUS we are sharing the small, practical household wins that are working right now—because sometimes chasing the spark starts with just one manageable step.
