S1E6: Life’s a Mess N’at? Redding Up Chaos with Simple Routines That Work


Listen Later

Life is messy — between burnout, stress, clutter, and emotional overload, most of us are just trying to hold it together. But you don’t have to stay stuck in survival mode. In this episode of This Is It! by Thriving Yinzers, we’re redding up the chaos — starting with what’s actually in our control: our daily habits, routines, and physical environment.

We break down why chaos overwhelms your brain, how it hijacks executive function, and why it keeps you stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Then, we’re giving you practical tools to restore order — even if life feels like a mess n’at.

In this episode:

  • Why your brain craves order
  • The connection between clutter and overwhelm
  • Executive function explained 
  • Survival mode vs. intentional living
  • Simple routines that reduce stress fast
  • The Pomodoro Technique + small system wins
  • How to start redding up anything (mind, home, or schedule)

This episode is real and full of tools to take back control — one small step at a time.
