23 min - How to declutter the right things
It is so common to misplace our frustration, overwhelm and burden on the wrong things in our home. We think we need to get rid of the sentimental things, the things our kids love to play with or the things we love to have. Let's talk about how to get rid of the RIGHT clutter so you can keep all the things you love.

19 min - How long does it take to declutter a home?
I feel like it's taking me forever to declutter! And how long does it take to get this done?
Enroll in Decluttering Simplified to get a program to take you through the full decluttering process.
These are the number one questions/frustration that have been coming up in my DMs and emails (by the way all emails and messages are sent by and are responded to by me personally, I love talking with you!)
Here's the thing.. you know how all kids learn how to read on their own timeline? You're going to declutter your home on your own timeline as well.
Just like when we teach our kids to read, we intentionally and systematically do things to help them along the way - I do the same for you and decluttering your home.
Just like when your kids master reading sight words, and then move onto something more challenging like a simple story, then a beginnger chapter book, then college text books...
So do you in your decluttering process.
You're going to figure this out in your own individual timeline.
You have varying degrees of challenges, roadblocks, time availability, sizes of homes, amounts of stuff, emotional attachments, family on board (or not) - and OF COURSE it is going to take you time.
Of course you're going to feel like maybe you're not making the progress you "should".
That's NORMAL! You are making progress. You are figuring it out.
Give yourself a whole lot of grace and realize what you HAVE done, and what you HAVE learned. That will give you a jumping point to keep going forward.
Decluttering is a skill you master, just like reading. Eventually it becomes second nature and easy to do - but just like reading you'll always be able to find new ways to challenge yourself. Like learning to read in another language - or read computer code🤪
Ps - Today's live is going to be ALL about decluttering on your own timeline - and ways to give yourself super simple beginner steps while you learn to master it - just like reading!
14 min - Clutter Chronicles - Lindsey Camp
Lindsey has shared her journey with us once before and is here for a follow up!
Enroll in Decluttering Simplified like Lindsey
Her story is so powerful, because she is a mom just like you, who has found freedom in her days because she decluttered.
Lindsey shares with us how decluttering helped her gain freedom in her days as a mom and tells the truth about the ebbs and flows of her journey - meaning that sometimes she's actively and massively decluttering, and other times she's not. But even in her seasons of not, she knows she is still making progress and moving forward.
Listen in and get inspired from Lindsey and her story!
30 min - What to do with all the clutter you can't take to donation centers right now
#brainstormwithme What are you doing with all your stuff and piles while there is nowhere to take it?
Enroll in Decluttering Simplified to get more support in deciding where to donate your things.
Here are my ideas - take them or leave them AND add your own creative solutions!!
- Give directly to the source. My personal opinion - donation centers have been a VERY easy way for us to unload our excess in ways that leave us without a whole lot of connection or personal responsibility. I am 100% guilty of this. Having way too much that is overwhelming to me and being excited to drop it off knowing full well, that most of it was also going to a burden to the places taking my donations. I think this is a powerful time to put a lot of consideration into what we have, and who we give it to. Obviously use safe practices for sanitation, but I also believe that the world has not stopped turning and people will still be needing stuff (like my toddler and baby who have outgrown their clothes, and I can't hit up our consignment store per usual). I am viewing my donations in a new way, with a whole lot more personal accountability than before when I could easily just drop it off and make it someone else's thing to deal with.
- Be discerning about what is trash and even donatable/re-sellable. Many centers are aready having glorified trash left on their doorsteps. Many are already issuing the message that they will not be accepting donations for a long while to prevent the spread of Corona. Many are also addressing the long standing issue that they are overwhelmed with too much stuff and will not be accepting donations when they are already full. This is a powerful display of the truth that we haven't been able to see before this which is that much of what is donated becomes trash because of overconsumption. Utilize your trash and recycling.
- Create piles within your home to go with a plan! Use a sticky note, tape or just a piece of paper labeled where they are going. Hide it in that closet (roganized and labeled), garage, spare bedroom. And then circle back to #1 and as much as possible find a direct source you can feel good about giving it to.
- Create a running inventory of what is in your home, what is needed and what you're getting rid of. Move things to the to go list periodically as you realize they aren't used, needed or wanted .
That's all I've got!
What are your ways you're doing this?!?! We need your help and ideas!
