Spring is here!! The weather is warming up, the birds are chirping, the sun is out more, there’s a feeling of renewal, and we’re ready to throw off the winter doldrums for a breath of fresh air.

And with the changing of the seasons also comes spring cleaning. Dun, dun, dunnn!

I know. I don't really like cleaning either. Yes, you heard that right...a minimalist who teaches others how to keep a tidy home so they can live a better life doesn't like cleaning. But, just because I don't like it, doesn't mean I don't do it.

Spring cleaning my home helps me (and my family) to enjoy our house to the fullest. So, if it must be done, why not make it as quick and easy as possible?

That’s what this episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show is all about! I walk you through how to clean your home from top to bottom - and not just straighten up, but deep clean the things that matter and leave your home feeling refreshed - all in just one day. It will be a long day, but it will be D - O - N - E.

And that my friend is my favorite part about having a clean home - how I feel when it’s all done. I feel as though I could tackle the world. Anything is possible and it's the best feeling to take into spring. Don’t you think?

**********************

The other day I was talking with a friend and she was telling me about her attempts at decluttering. I am the decluttering go-to in my group so it’s pretty common for people to come to me when they have questions about what to do with their stuff, how to organize something, or issues letting go of the things in their home.

And what I heard was pretty typical.

She told me that she’s tried to declutter in the past, but has basically given up at this point because no matter what she tries her home becomes messy again in a week, month tops. She also told me her husband’s not really on board and her mom buys her kids anything they want, even though she has asked her mother to stop.

Sound familiar?

However, instead of jumping in and saying that decluttering was no use, I asked her if her stuff was in order. And here’s where it hit home. My friend said she didn't see the point of getting her home in order when she felt all alone. There's just so much to do that she felt like she failed even before she started. My heart broke a bit for her.

The good news is, there are ways to fix this decluttering situation, so I gave her tips to help her solve these issues and I’m sharing that same advice with you because as we were talking, I realized that she was making the same mistakes I see over and over. And if she was making these mistakes, it’s likely you are too. **

Let’s fix that so you can move forward in confidence and no longer feel like you are alone on this journey.

Burnout is becoming a bigger problem in our modern society. Did you know that more than three quarters (76%) of employed Americans report they are currently experiencing burnout? It’s a huge problem in the work place, but let’s be honest...moms experience burnout too. Whether you're a working mom, a stay at home mom, or a work from home mom, it’s all hard. It’s just not studied as much.

It’s also true that women are more likely to experience burnout than men - 80% vs 72% - but I’m not sure that’s a big surprise as women often feel more household responsibilities fall to them in addition to paid or unpaid responsibilities.

Burnout is more common than we realize and it’s important to talk about it so people know they are not alone. We frequently hear people talking about stress and overwhelm and while overwhelm can go with both burnout and stress the way we react to both is different.

No matter who you are and what your work situation is like, we are all bound to face negative feelings, stress, overwhelm, and potentially burnout at some point in our lives.

The good news is we can do something about it. When you feel burnout coming on it can be hard to motivate yourself to do anything so these 10 ways to stop burnout are simple and can be implemented right now. The will get the ball rolling and can help you go from overwhelmed to in control so you can get back to enjoying life.

And let me just say that I am not a health professional. The advice I give today is what has worked for me personally. If you are feeling depressed, down, strong burnout, or anxiety I recommend you speak with a health professional who can help.

What does creating a vision of your dream life have to do with your stuff, decluttering and organizing? It’s a bit like the philosophical question of the chicken and the egg. We’re not sure which came first? In this instance the question becomes does life better because you declutter or do you declutter as you get closer to your dream life?

And maybe you think it's a hard question because everyone’s idea of a dream or ideal life is different. Yes, that is true. What seems ideal for one person might be the opposite of what you would consider a dream.

The good news is that our definition and visions of dream lives actually have very little to do with the steps we need to take to get there. So no matter if you want to be a homeschooling parent or prefer to send your children to school - you can use these steps. If you want to travel the world or explore your city they will work for you too. They will even work no matter how much or little money you have in the bank.

The 3 steps outlined in this episode will help you create a clear vision for your life, let go of the comparison trap, and create space so you can enjoy the life of your dreams. Let’s explore how we can create a life you don’t feel like you need a vacation from.

Let’s get back to basics and talk about how to organize our closets. This is one of my favorite places to start. Yes, some people say to start in your bathroom because there are fewer emotional decisions to be made there and there is less stuff to deal with, but for me the sense of accomplishment and joy I feel when looking at an organized closet is worth the effort.

When my closet is organized, I am able to start my day off on the right foot. I can see all of the clothing I own and it makes it easier to choose an outfit for the day. When my day begins with less stress it carries over throughout my day and makes the other areas of my life easier too.

Adopting a capsule wardrobe has seriously helped my closet organization issues and taken this to a whole new level, but you don't have to go that far to see amazing results.

These 4 easy steps can help you get your closet under control no matter if you are a fashionista and love to have the latest and greatest trends or if you are more like me and enjoy a simple wardrobe that mixes and matches. The principles are the same and before you know it your closet will be clutter free, organized, and feeling amazing.

Opening those doors just might become one of your favorite parts of your day and any day that starts with a smile is a winner in my book.

Do money habits hold you back when it comes to decluttering and organizing your home? You might not think that how we spend our money or the thoughts we have about money have anything to do with our stuff.

Or maybe you just think that only those who over spend and buy stuff they do not need are the only ones who experience the link between spending and clutter. But, for many people - myself included - the way we think about money, even when we do not over spend, has a giant impact on the items in our homes.

In addition to over spending, the other big issue when it comes to money and stuff is under buying. They are on opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to spending money and both cause problems in our homes and lives.

But, how can spending less money and under buying be a problem when it comes to clutter and having an organized home? Turns out, there is a balance between buying enough so that you have what you need when you need it and buying too much, causing too many piles to build up in your home.

Whenever we try something new, we are bound to make some mistakes along the way. That’s how we learn and grow. And my journey toward a clutter free life has seen it's share of minimalist mistakes and frugal failures.

In fact, I am a pretty frugal person. It’s just in my nature and the idea of buying less (and thus spending less) is probably what drew me to minimalism in the first place. However, what has kept me on this journey is a simpler, more intentional life that is just easier to manage. When you have less stuff, there is less to worry about, less to clean, and less to get in your way.

Unless, you take it too far. When that happens, the practice of having less can actually make life more difficult. This is what a minimalist fail is.

And when you waste money - when your intention was to save money...that is a frugal fail.

My hope is that by sharing some of my most memorable minimalist mistakes and frugal failures, I can help spare you from these same troubles.

I am excited to announce a big change I am making to my brand, why I’m doing it now, and what it means for the future of this show, website, and my business.

It sounds super dramatic and while it is a big change, I don’t want you to worry. The changes are big in branding - so the name of the website and look of it will be changing, but the content and the reason behind what I teach and discuss will be staying mostly the same.

A few weeks ago I had this nagging feeling in my gut that I was not getting my message out to the people I could really be helping. While I relate to minimalism and love the tenets of living with only the things I feel are necessary to enjoy my life, I know I have a LONG way to go until I would feel ready to call myself a true minimalist.

However, there is something about the label of minimalism that makes me cringe just a bit. I’ve never felt extreme enough to help people who want to be hard-core minimalists. But, for the people who want to live with less stuff, the word minimalism puts them off as it feels too unattainable.

So in order to help the most people (especially those who need it the most) find this website and podcast, I am changing the name. It’s all laid out in this episode and I hope you enjoy it. Don’t forget to explore the newly designed website too.

No matter how many times you move, there are always boxes to be filled, things to declutter, and a new home to organize on the other end. I’ve moved over 20 times in my life and while I am pretty skilled at it, moving with a school-aged child made me understand that my most recent move was going to be different.

So I called in an expert to help me along the way. Ali Wenzke is the author of The Art of Happy Moving: How to Declutter, Pack, and Start Over While Maintaining Your Sanity and Finding Happiness and a real estate broker with Baird & Warner in Winnetka, IL. Ali and her husband moved ten times in eleven years, living in six U.S. states.

Known as the “Marie Kondo of moving", Ali’s advice has been featured on TV, radio, and podcasts as well as in Forbes, U.S. News & World Report, Today, Real Simple, Fast Company, Parents magazine and many more. Ali is happily settled in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and three kids and for now doesn't plan on moving any time soon.

Our discussions starts with the move that lead Ali to buckle down and declutter and I push her to give us her best tips on moving with children, what to do when other family members don't share your same vision, and what to do when you get into your new home.

Yes, moving can be stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. In fact, it can be a time of rejuvenation and reinvention of one’s self. And even if you have no plans to move, you can learn to declutter like you are moving and enjoy the benefits of a lighter home.

**********************

Every year, especially around the New Year, a majority of people make new goals, resolutions, and plans for the year ahead. Often with those goals comes new hobbies. And with new hobbies comes more stuff.

There is a term that encapsulates this increase in stuff. It’s called clutter creep and it means the accumulation of new things as we go through life. It’s the adding of more to your space without getting rid of something else at the same time. Without discipline, it’s easy to end up with a home overrun by all of the stuff you need to do these hobbies or accomplish your new goals.

Figuring out what to do with this happens - because trust me it will happen - is not only possible, but there are steps you can take to keep it from happening in the first place.

The good news is you can still be a minimalist and have hobbies. You can even have more than one hobby. It depends on what other stuff you have, the space you have in your home, and what ultimately brings you joy.
