Clutterbug - Real-Life Hacks and Tips to Declutter, Organize and Clean your Home Fast

The Truth About My Messy Past (and What Saved Me) | Clutterbug Podcast # 286


Listen Later

If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I end up here — and where the heck are my shoes?” — this episode is for you. Whether you're stuck in a shame spiral over clutter, afraid to start because you might fail (again), or dreaming of a better life but don’t know how to take that first step… you are so not alone.

In this raw and honest episode, I share the unfiltered story of how I went from total chaos (like, literal hoarder-level mess, bad decisions, and breaking the law kind of chaos) to finding purpose, peace, and a really clean kitchen. We walk down memory lane — from ADHD-fueled disasters to building the Clutterbug community, from a flip cam and a dream to YouTube, books, podcasts, and even a fire truck (yup, you read that right).

This one’s not just a highlight reel — it’s a messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reminder that you don’t need to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just need rules, limits, vision boards, and a dash of delusional self-belief. You’ll hear the power of finding your people, discovering your style, and finally realizing that you’re not messy — you just organize differently.

✨ We chat about:

  • What it’s really like to fail (a lot) and keep going anyway

  • The chaotic backstory behind Clutterbug (and how it almost didn’t happen)

  • Vision boards, viral videos, and how to manifest your dream life — one basket at a time

  • How “It’s not a cat” became a clutter mantra (and a t-shirt!)

  • What to keep when you’re living in a “temporary but forever” space

  • Why your kids don’t think you’re cool — even if you’re a YouTuber

  • The life-changing magic of saying “I deserve this” — and meaning it

  • 👇 What’s your chaos-to-clarity moment? Have you ever embraced your weird, chased a wild dream, or told yourself “I deserve this”? Let’s chat in the comments — and if this episode made you laugh, cry, or finally toss out that third crockpot, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with a friend who’s also building their own beautifully messy, magic-filled life.
