 In this episode I share my old perfectionist life, how it negatively affected my life and how much more I enjoy my life, and how much more I actually do now that I have dropped the perfectionist label.

A big part of it started with ditching my clutter and freeing up the physical and mental space that I NEEDED in order to thrive. Perfectionism is really just a survival mindset with a ton of stage make up on hiding the REAL face behind it. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

.... how perfectionism actually holds you back from making progress and reaching your potential

... how to move past your perfectionism

...how decluttering is a cure for perfectionism and why you need to just dive into it now!

  You know all those moms who do it all. Well, I know their secret and it's not what you think it is. 

I'll be totally honest and LOVE being the one who "does it all", I am a 3 on the enneagram and it just is what it is and I am who I am. BUT I know the secret - and it's this... we do NOT do it all. 

We eliminate the unnecessary, invaluable and time/energy suckers and focus on what matters MOST to us. That is the secret. It is that simple and that complicated. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

...What my life used to be like when I put on a show of having it all, and how it is now when I actually feel like I am doing it all

... Redefining what doing it all really means

... Not comparing your all to "her" all

Today we’re diving into a topic that hits home for many of us: how to stop using excuses—especially when it comes to your kids. If you ever feel like your little ones are holding you back from doing the things you want or need to do, this episode is for you. As a mom of five, I know how easy it can be to use your kids as an excuse to avoid tackling the hard stuff—like decluttering your home. But the truth is, your kids should be your reason for taking action, not your excuse to avoid it.

Let’s dive into this conversation on why it’s time to stop using excuses and start making progress—because your kids deserve it, and so do you.

If you’re ready to stop using excuses and finally take control of your home, my course Decluttering Simplified is exactly what you need. It’s designed specifically for busy moms who feel overwhelmed and stuck in the clutter but don't know where to start. Inside the course, I’ll guide you step-by-step to help you overcome all the excuses—like not having enough time, energy, or motivation—and show you how to declutter in a sustainable way that works for your family.

With Decluttering Simplified, you'll stop feeling like your home is controlling you and start feeling empowered to create the space you deserve. You’ll get actionable strategies, support, and the encouragement you need to stop putting it off and get it done—for good!

  In today's episode we talk about the different seasons of motherhood and what they require of us. As moms they are constantly changing and evolving BUT we can also get stuck in believing that we can't do certain things, or as much as we'd like because of that season.

I am here to tell you friend - you can just survive or you can thrive in ANY season, as long as you understand that it is just that - one short season. And you may have to allocate your time and energy differently based on that. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

... why different seasons require you to prioritize and allocate your time and energy accordingly

... how to determine if you are playing the victim to the season of life you are in, or not, and if you are how to stop! 

... knowing your personal limits and personality type to steer clear of comparisonitis

 In this episode we talk about who you need to become in order to declutter your home and how. We get so caught up in the HOW to do it, we forget to see the bigger picture and that is WHO we are becoming in this process, and who need to continue to evolve into in order to finish.

When you set out to declutter your home you start off overwhelmed, unsure, stuck, unable to make decisions. As you continue on through the process you MUST start to change and become a woman who makes decisions, who takes action, and gets herself out of her rut. That is so much more fun to focus on than HOW you're going to get it done and makes it easier to stick with it long term. 

IN THIS EPISODE WE TALK ABOUT

...Hal Elrod's new book The Miracle Equation

... who you are becoming, and how to figure out who that even is
