    Have you ever set a goal with lots of excitement only to quickly lose that momentum once you started to work on that goal?

    You are not alone!

    And the Emotional Cycle of Change is a big reason we quit on our goals before we complete them.

    We’re diving into the Emotional Cycle of Change, a powerful model developed in the mid-1970s by Don Kelley and Daryl Conner on episode 203. We'll explore how this model can guide busy moms through the emotional ups and downs of decluttering and organizing their homes.

    Whether you’re just starting or are stuck in the middle, understanding these emotional stages can help you manage your space—and your stress—more effectively.

    This episode will also help you discover:

    • The 5 stages of the Emotional Cycle of Change
    • Why change is so difficult
    • How to stop quitting your goals
    • Ways to make decluttering easier
    • Tips for moving through the hardest part of change
