Is your home feeling heavy (and not just because of summer clutter)? Let’s lighten the load—inside and out. 🧺🧠💛

This week, I’m joined by Julia Ubbenga—minimalist living coach, mom of five, and author of the beautiful new book Declutter Your Heart and Your Home.

Julia shares her powerful story of how minimalism became her lifeline—not just to a tidier home, but to peace, joy, and presence. We’re talking about how too much stuff creates more than mess—it creates stress, distraction, and overwhelm. But with a few small, intentional tweaks, you can reclaim your space and your sanity.

You’ll hear:

— Why clutter isn’t neutral (and how it’s secretly stressing you out)

— How to help kids become little “noticers” instead of stuff tornadoes

— The surprising first place she recommends decluttering (hint: it’s not a junk drawer)

— And how making space on the outside can shift something powerful on the inside too

Whether you’re overwhelmed by toys, drowning in laundry, or just longing for a little breathing room—this episode will help you take that first (doable!) step toward a home and heart that feel lighter.

And remember—no overhaul required. One tiny tweak at a time will do. 💫
