  • Why decluttering is important NOW

    If you’ve been thinking about decluttering but keep finding reasons to put it off, I’m here to gently nudge you and say, “It’s time to make it a priority!”

    I know you want a clean, organized home where things feel easy to manage. But if you’ve been feeling stuck or overwhelmed, let’s talk about why decluttering is more important than just having a tidy space—and why you should stop making excuses and start taking action!

    If you’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed and aren’t sure where to begin, I’ve got you covered. My Decluttering Simplified program is designed specifically for moms like you. It’s a step-by-step guide that walks you through the process of decluttering your entire home—even if you’ve got kids around or a busy schedule.

    In Decluttering Simplified, you’ll learn:

    • How to get started (even if you feel totally overwhelmed)
    • How to handle family members who aren’t on board
    • How to declutter tricky areas like toys, clothes, and sentimental items

  • Why I won't give you product recommendations or links

    1. The point of Motherhood Simplified and my work is to help you declutter. I can't in good conscience give enable to you get more stuff, especially if you haven't yet decluttered.

    2. There isn't a single thing I own that will change your life. Nothing I can sell you, other than my course would be aligned with the value I want to give you, and the way I seek to serve inside Motherhood Simplified. 

    3. We are surrounded by quick fixes, and band-aid solutions, and distractions from the root issue and work that needs to be done. Sharing links or products I have take away from the bigger vision I have which is to help you master your home, and what is in it. 

    4. I am here to actually support you, and yes, I am a business and profit is essential for me as a business and mother, but I won't do it at your expense. When you purchase a course from me I know it benefits you in the short and long term, and will save you time, energy and money and will give you your motherhood back .

    5. I know that when you declutter you stop caring what others have and are only concerned about what you have. You stop seeking lists of toys, gadgets, and IKEA hacks. You get hyper focused on you and your home, and what's in it and not only know, but believe you know exactly what serves your family and what doesn't. What I have, isn't necessarily what you need.

  • How and why moms need to declutter differently than anyone else

    Why mothers need to declutter differently than anyone else.


    -in dec 2020 140,000 women lost jobs, 16,000 men gained jobs.

    The balance of the mental load in the home has historically been skewed and put onto the mother.

    Which means we have less time, energy and overall bandwidth to just “get things done.” Especially right now.

    We’re figuring out how to school our kids. We’re seeking ways to support them emotionally. And we’re doing it blindly.

    And we’re doing it in homes that are overwhelming on a regular day. “Regular.”

    We don’t get huge pockets of time to do this so we need to do it in bite sized pieces (workshop plug)

    We are making decisions on behalf of, or holding the space for others to make the decisions. So YOU need support in that.

    When you get support, you can better support others - aka your family.

  • How to declutter and have enough, but not too much

    Enroll in Decluttering Simplified

    The whole point of decluttering is to have enough, but not too much. 

    It's why I won't ever give a list of what you should have, or how much. It's different for everyone, and it changes based on your season of life, home size, and more. 

    The only way you will figure out what this balance is for you is to actually declutter! Dive in and get started with Decluttering Simplified. It requires action, and introspection. Asking yourself questions and thinking critically about what you have, need, and use. 

    How do you tell if you have enough, but not too much. 

    Toys

    Clothes

    Dishes

    Parkinson's law says if you have more, you're going to use more and then you get stuck in this cycle of being too far behind to actually catch up.
