Motherhood Simplified

  This is the final episode for the Motherhood Simplified challenge and today is all about getting out of your head and INTO your life! Taking action is most often the missing piece to getting you unstuck. We think and plan and research and analyze before we EVER take action. We stop because we're exhausted just thinking about it all not realizing that the DOING is what is most helpful for us.

So today I give you one simple way to figure out where you are stuck, and how to take action on it to move forward. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... how to get out of planning/thinking/analyzing mode and into action mode

... ways to process your thoughts so that they don't consumer you all day every day

... and the one simple way I have learned to stop thinking and actually find solutions I can DO

  In this episode we talk about how to STOP falling into the trap of consuming everyone else's life and letting it leave in the compare and despair trap. Comparisonitis is this syndrome where we get crippled by how much better and bigger and more awesome everyone else is doing compared to you when the reality is - you can do exactly what they are doing too! 

I teach you how to declutter these chronically negative thoughts and start shifting into a more positive and productive way of thinking so that you can draw inspiration from what used to hold you back. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... the blessing and curse that is social media and how you can make it 100% a blessing by shifting your mindset

... How to make sure you don't get, or stay stuck in fantasy land on social media

... 3 things to do NOW to help you start this process

  Today I share with you what those are and what the foundation of the Motherhood Simplified movement is based on. 

Often times moms come into the Motherhood Simplified community with the same root issues but seeking the same bandaid solutions. I often find myself giving advice that I can FEEL through the internet that is frustrating to the moms I get to know becuase.... it's not the easy answer.

It's not the answer we're sold by Target and the Container Store and Home Goods. But these answers - which are my opinions - about clutter in the home and the impact it has on us are strong.

So strong that I will shout them from the rooftops to any mom who will listen because I know they will be infinitely more helpful to you than any fluffy, unopinionated, easy answer I can give you.

 This community is called Motherhood Simplified - so obviously we are in the seasons of having babies. One question I get often is "should I declutter before my maternity leave or during". I wholheartedly believe that BEFORE is the answer, and for so many reasons. In this episode I tell the story of my different postpartum experiences I have had. The good, the bad, the ugly and what I wish I would have known about decluttering BEFORE actually having the baby. Because for me, every time, the hard work comes after you have the baby. Especially if you already have other kids.  

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... how much it will pay you if you DO this

... how to get started in the fastest, and simplest way without burning yourself out while pregnant before baby comes

Toy Story 4 has us all talking about toys and our kids' toys and making us feel all kinds of things about them!! Because it's Toy STORY and a good story does that. In this episode I share with you my biggest takeaways from the movie and why I think that it actually sends the exact opposite message of keeping all the toys, and that we should really watch it with an open mind and hear the messages that will really help us be intentional about what toys we have and keep in our homes.  

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... The fact that we have TOO MANY toys, and not enough kids to actually play with them

... the mark of a good generational, favorite toy

In this blog, I’m going to dive into how you can declutter when you have no time. We’re all busy moms with packed schedules, but I promise it’s possible to make progress without huge blocks of time or becoming a full-blown minimalist.

I know it can feel impossible to figure out how to declutter when you have no time, but I promise that with a few mindset shifts and practical steps, you can make it happen. Remember, decluttering isn’t about being perfect or doing it all in one day—it’s about making steady progress that works for your life.

And if you’re ready to dive deeper and really make decluttering stick, check out Decluttering Simplified. This course walks you through everything step by step, from creating a realistic plan to maintaining a clutter-free home, even with a busy schedule. It’s designed specifically for moms who feel like they have no time but want to see real change.

  This episode is meant to prepare for how long it's really going to take you to declutter your home. There is not a specific timeline BUT I help you realize why you have so much stuff, how much there really is so that you can understand WHY it is going to take you more than one weekend or purging ten bags of stuff. 

It's going to take time. Like anything worthwhile though, THAT'S OKAY and to be expected. You are going to earn this beautiful decluttered home and you are going to be so proud

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... Why it's going to take you longer than you want

... the cycle of feeling like you are done, and then realizing there is actually a lot more to do
