Today is a super special day – it's our 300th podcast episode, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate it with YOU! This milestone is all about you, your stories, and the amazing things you do while listening to this podcast. Spoiler alert: laundry seems to be the winner, and honestly, I get it – laundry is the WORST chore. But together, we’re tackling it and celebrating every success, big or small.

In this episode, I share a very personal story about a recent health challenge and the chaos that greeted me when I emerged from my "recovery cave." From mountains of laundry to messy floors, life threw me a curveball, but I took back control – and you can too!

This episode is packed with inspiration, real-life moments, and the reminder that no matter how defeated we feel, we have the power to take action and turn things around. So grab your laundry, set a timer, and let's kick some butt together. 

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey. Let’s celebrate this milestone and keep moving forward together. You’ve got this!

We’ve been fed a huge lie — that the stuff in our storage rooms or storage units is worth money. It’s not! The truth is, your “storage treasures” are probably costing you thousands of dollars and stealing valuable space in your home. I’m sharing my own story of how I turned a cluttered storage room into a home office, added $15,000 of value to my house, and never missed a single thing I let go of.

You’ll learn how to figure out what your storage is really costing you, the mindset traps that keep us holding on to stuff “just in case,” and my simple decluttering rules to help you decide what’s actually worth keeping. I also talk about why “preservation becomes paralysis” — and how freeing yourself from storage clutter can literally give you more time, money, and peace of mind.

If you’ve been pushing yourself nonstop, this conversation will help you understand why rest isn’t lazy — it’s powerful. You’ll walk away knowing exactly what kind of rest you’re missing and how to get it.

Ever feel like your stuff is running your life instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much you declutter, your home still feels overwhelming — and every “maybe someday” pile just keeps growing?

In this episode, I sit down with decluttering coach and creator of Downsize Upgrade, Abigail Roe, to talk about why letting go isn’t just about tough love or sentimentality — it’s about logic, systems, and learning to stop overthinking your stuff.

Abigail shares her refreshingly practical approach to simplifying, from her “Wheel of Decluttering” challenge to her F.I.V.E. method for curating clothes. She brings equal parts truth bombs and silly jingles (yes, really!) to make the process not only doable but fun.

Whether you’re drowning in clothes that don’t fit, sentimental keepsakes, or just way too many organizing containers — this conversation will leave you motivated, clear-headed, and ready to finally make space for joy and productivity.

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Mimi Bouchard about something so much bigger than just organizing your home — we’re talking about organizing your life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in negative self-talk, this conversation is for you.

I’ll be honest, “manifestation” always sounded a little too magical to me, but what Mimi shares is real, practical, and life-changing. It’s not about chanting or meditating in silence — it’s about shifting the way you speak to yourself, creating clarity about who you want to be, and stepping into that version of yourself right now.

Mimi shares her simple two-step formula for transformation — clarity and becoming — and how you can rewire your self-image so success and confidence feel natural instead of impossible. We’ll talk about habit stacking, positive self-talk, and why your future self is waiting for you to show up today.

If you’re tired of waiting for “someday” to finally feel proud of yourself and your life, this episode will inspire you to stop holding back and start becoming who you were always meant to be.
