Going away is meant to be relaxing.
 So why does it so often feel like everything has to fall apart just to get there?

You’re running around trying to remember if the passports are packed…
 …the fridge is still full of food…
 …and somehow the suitcase still isn’t zipped.
 And let’s not even talk about the mess you walk into when you come home.

Sound familiar?
Before you even listen to this episode, make sure you’ve got your hands on my Ultimate Family Holiday Packing Checklist—it’s free, it’s practical, and it’s saved my sanity more than once. You can grab it HERE.

This week on the podcast, I’m sharing the three checklists I swear by to make holiday prep feel calm, organized, and actually enjoyable.
Because if you’re doing all the mental load, all the planning, all the prepping—and still feeling frazzled?
Something needs to change.

What if going on holiday didn’t have to mean coming home to clutter and chaos?
What if you could build a simple system that works every single time—without relying on your brain to remember it all?

Inside this short and powerful episode, I’ll show you how to use intentional planning and home organization strategies to take back control of your holidays—from the packing to the home prep to that all-important reset when you walk back in the door.

These aren’t just random tips. They’re grounded in the KonMari method, shaped by real-life experience, and designed for families like yours.

You’ll learn:

• How to avoid the last-minute scramble that leaves you forgetting the essentials
• A declutter-first approach that keeps your home tidy while you’re away (and after!)
• The organizing mindset shift that helps you stop overpacking and start traveling light
• Real declutter strategies that make the transition back to everyday life smoother

Ready to stop spinning and start planning?
Hit play and take the first step to making holidays feel like holidays again.

Because packing chaos, cluttered hallways, and post-trip overwhelm?
 That’s not the vibe we’re bringing into your future.

This is intentional family organizing at its best.
