S2 Ep. 11: We’re kicking off a brand-new series, “The Hidden Cost of Clutter,” and I couldn’t think of a better way to start than with my special guest, Dorie Mack, a Certified Stress Management and Relationship Recovery Coach.

In Part 1. of this powerful two-part conversation, Dorie opens up about her own journey with clutter and disorganization, sharing how it was draining her TIME, energy, stealing her peace, and even impacting her relationships. She also reveals the life-changing clarity and freedom she’s gained since making organization a priority, both personally and professionally.

This series is all about uncovering the unseen toll clutter takes on our lives and the incredible transformation that happens when we take back control. Dorie’s story was so impactful, we had to split it into two episodes.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by clutter or wondered what it’s truly costing you, this conversation will give you hope, practical insight, and the inspiration to start your own journey toward peace and productivity.

Dorie’s bio:  

Thirteen years ago my life started falling apart. I was depressed and most days I couldn’t get out of bed. As I looked back at my journey and realized how far I had come, I said to myself, "That was hard! It sure would have been nice to have someone to help me through all of that." Because of that, I am now a Certified Stress Management and Relationship Recovery Coach. Today I am helping women create a better life filled with peace and joy with confidence.  

🎙️ Listen now and join us for Part 1 of The Hidden Cost of Clutter series as we uncover what clutter is truly stealing from your life and how to take back control.
