EP:130 As a parent, I know how triggering mess and clutter can be. It's like my brain just snaps! But I've learned some tricks to manage it. First, I made my bedroom a peaceful sanctuary - no TV, just calm vibes. It's my Hail Mary when the rest of the house is a disaster zone. I grew up in a super tidy home, but now I've had to release that perfectionism. My house isn't Pinterest-perfect, but good enough is good enough.

I also get the kids involved - one new chore at a time so it doesn't overwhelm them (or me!). It's a work in progress, but creating that calm space and delegating responsibilities has been game-changing. 

I used to get so anxious when my parents would visit, worried they'd judge my messy home. But I've learned to give myself grace - clutter doesn't define my worth as a parent.

XOXO,
