What if your nervous system is simply overwhelmed and doing its job to protect you?

I’m opening up about a big shift in how I see decluttering and downsizing.

For years, I shared tips like “set a timer” or “start small”. But what happens when even those steps feel unreachable?

I am learning that it’s about our nervous system.

Together, we’ll talk about why clutter can leave us feeling stuck, what survival mode looks like in everyday life, and how finding calm and safety first can change everything.

If you’ve ever felt behind or ashamed that you “just can’t get it done,” this episode is for you.

Feeling behind in your home or life? In this episode, we explore where that feeling comes from and why the truth might surprise you: you’re not behind.

Learn how to release the pressure, embrace progress over perfection, and give yourself permission to reset your mindset and your home while decluttering and organizing.
