Do you feel overwhelmed in your home, even after you’ve decluttered? It may be that you need to “hush” it instead. Today I’m speaking to bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about her new book House Hushing: The Simple Method to Declutter and Decorate for a More Peaceful Home.
Hushing your home isn’t just about decluttering - it also quiet decorating, soulful styling, and living seasonally. It’s about finding harmony and being able to hear what your house is saying to you.
Myquillyn and I discuss:
- why backwards decluttering is the high-reward, low-risk approach you’ve been looking for
- how quiet decorating allows us turn down the volume of our house without getting rid of things
- how to create a soulful home over time by layering in soul of the past, present, and futur
- the edit/audit and plan/pick aspects of living seasonally and how to intentionally choose how you want to live in this season
Go to Amazon or your favorite book retailer to get your copy of the book…or check below to see how to enter the book giveaway.
Resources Mentioned:
I have a beautiful hardback copy of House Hushing I want to gift to you.

It’s the 250th episode of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm! To celebrate, I’m sharing 25 questions to ask yourself to help you live a clutter-free life!
Thanks for all your support over the (almost) four years I’ve been doing this podcast.
5 Questions for Before You Buy:
- Does this item bring freedom or burden to my life?
- Where will it live?
- Does it align with my values?
- Can I borrow it instead?
- Do I need to buy it now, or can I pause and check in later?
5 Mental Clutter Busting-Questions:
- Is this thought serving me?
- Is this thought absolutely true?
- How would I feel without this thought?
- What is a true thought that could replace this negative thought?
- Do I have to think about this now, or can I choose another time to think about it?
10 Decluttering Mindset Questions:
- Does this item reflect my values?
- Do I have the capacity to manage this item in this season?
- Does it support my current self in my current season of motherhood, or is it aspirational? (focusing on past or potential future)
- Would I buy this again, if I didn’t own it already?
- How would I feel if this item spontaneously combusted?
- If I were moving, would I bubble wrap it and pack it, AND unpack it when I arrived?
- Can I recognize this item has value AND I can let it go to experience something better?
- If I were to pass away unexpectedly, would I want my family members to have to go through these items?
- Am I keeping this “just in case” (which likely means never) or am I keeping it “just for when” with a specific timeframe/season in mind?
- Am I keeping this out of guilt or obligation? Why am I feeling guilty? Is it my perception?
5 Questions to Get Started:
- Is perfectionism causing me to put off decluttering? Am I afraid about doing it “wrong”?
- If time is my biggest barrier, what is one activity that currently doesn’t serve me that I can replace with decluttering for 10-15 minutes?
- When is the ideal time for me to declutter based upon my energy levels and current schedule?
- Can I commit to a weekly donation pickup (or drop-off) at a place I feel good about, knowing that I can be more discerning later on?
- Does the boundary I’ve selected for this category reflect the value I place on it, and my capacity to manage it?
BONUS: How do I want this space to feel, function, and flow?

Decluttering can be hard because it seems like a constant tension between two things: holding on and letting go. But there is one mindset shift that has helped me break free of the prison of this dichotomous thinking.

I’m so excited to air my conversation with Shannon Leyko on her podcast Paring Down all about Swedish Death Cleaning.
The crux of Swedish death cleaning is taking care of your stuff and your affairs now so your loved ones aren’t burdened with it after you pass. It’s an act of love that we can do now, even if we’re not towards the end of our lives.
Shannon and I discuss:
• What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly
• What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships?
• What book do we recommend to help you through the process?

Clutter is fraught with emotions - especially guilt - which makes it incredibly difficult to let things go. Combined with aspirations of who we “could” be if we only had the time and energy, it’s a wonder we can get rid of anything.
In my interview on the No Guilt Mom podcast, host JoAnn Crohn and I chat about:
- Why we have so much more stuff than previous generations — and why it just keeps coming
- The real reason decluttering gets put off again and again (hint: it's not that you don't care)
- How to handle the guilt of getting rid of a gift — especially when the gift-giver asks where it went
…and much more.

Focusing on what you’re removing can be stressful. Reverse decluttering means you focus on what you’re keeping, which can help you feel more intentional and aligned with your values, rather than questioning your every decision.
In this episode I talk about what reverse decluttering is, give you several examples, as well as a 5-step process to get you started!

Are you caring for your own children as well as aging parents? If so, you are in what is called the “sandwich generation” - and it can be exhausting, especially if you are helping your parents downsize.
Today I’m joined by Grace Rehman, a professional organizer who helps women 50 and over work through downsizing, decluttering, and life transitions. She is also the host of the Organize with Grace Podcast.
In this conversation, Grace and I discuss:
- the best time to approach our parents to talk about downsizing
- the mistakes she sees people making when it comes to approaching their parents about downsizing or aging in place
- how the “Antiques Roadshow Fallacy” causes aging parents to overvalue their stuff - and what to do about it
- resources to help you get started

Whether your kiddos are 2, 12, or 18, it’s not too late to teach them life skills - the skills that will help them launch and help support them in adulthood. But life skills isn’t just cooking and cleaning. It can include emotional intelligence, automobile maintenance, leadership, and much more.
My guest is Katie Kimball from Raising Healthy Families, who is the mastermind behind the #LifeSkillsNow virtual summer camp, where kids ages 5-18 can learn more than 450 life skills in an approachable video format. Many of the lessons are taught by kids and teens.
We chat about:
- what life skills are versus chores
- the three aspects of life skills (hands on, minds on, hearts on) as well as how to implement them to keep kids motivated
- the benefits of teaching life skills including resilience, confidence, and personal agency
- how to help kids who are discouraged by perfectionism when they’re leaning life skills
Katie Kimball of Raising Healthy Families helps change kids’ relationship to food, both through work in the kitchen and helping parents of picky eaters. She’s a former teacher, two-time TEDx speaker, writer, mom of 4 kids and creator of the Kids Cook Real Food Course, Teens Cook Real Food Course, #LifeSkillsNow virtual summer camps, and blogs at Kitchen Stewardship. Her mission is to connect families around healthy food, teach every child to cook, and instill those all-important life skills!

Between the overwhelming mental load, the endless to-do list, and a disorganized home that keeps you caught in chaos - do you ever feel like you’re drowning…in quicksand?
In her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, Lisa Woodruff shares an important, yet painful truth:
“No one is coming to save you, and you must figure out how to save yourself.”
In this conversation, we dive into some of the ten strategies she shares in her book, including how to:
- observe times where we are annoyed or irritated as opportunities to find a better way to utilize our time
- shift our mindset to working on our households rather than just in them to make us effective and strategic household CEO’s
- understand the difference between perfectionism and excellence and how it is a game-changer in your home
- implement Lisa’s effective Sunday Basket method
Lisa Woodruff is the founder & CEO of Organize 365. She is also the author of the new book Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, which releases on June 23, 2026.
Lisa and 87% of Americans believe organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. As the host of the top-rated Organize 365 Podcast, with 24 million downloads & counting, Lisa shares strategies for reducing the overwhelm, clearing the mental clutter, and living a productive and organized life.

Do you have a closet full of clothes but “nothing to wear”?
Is getting dressed in the morning time-consuming and frustrating?
Perhaps it’s not the clothes…it’s your system.
Today I’m speaking to Lauren Morley, the creator of the 20 Outfit Wardrobe, an easy to implement system that helps women get dressed in minutes, feel put together every day, and stop constantly shopping.
We speak about how the system works, the numerous benefits, where to start, and what to do if you feel like 20 outfits is too restrictive or impossible for your season of life.

What does the Bible have to say about minimalism? Turns out - quite a bit, although it may not seem like it at first glance.
Joshua Becker’s new book Uncluttered Faith: Own Less, Love, More, and Make an Impact in Your World, is centered around a bold claim. Minimalism - specifically what Jesus has to say about possessions and money - is God’s design for our life.
The book dives into Scripture passages that point to numerous spiritual benefits that you can experience through minimalism, to allow you to reach your full potential and impact in the Kingdom of God.
In this episode, Joshua and I talk about:
- Why the American Church hasn’t focused more on the message of minimalism, specifically when it comes to Jesus’ clear teachings on our relationship with money and material possessions
- How our fruitfulness has been choked out by consumerism and distraction
- How minimalism helps us enjoy the benefits of God’s spiritual kingdom
Joshua is the founder and editor of Becoming Minimalist, a website dedicated to intentional living that was named by SUCCESS Magazine as one of the top ten personal development websites.
He is also the USA Today and WSJ best-selling author of 6 books including The Minimalist Home, The More of Less, and Things That Matter.
His new book, Uncluttered Faith, will be released on February 10, 2026.
He is also the Founder of The Hope Effect, a nonprofit organization changing how the world cares for orphans. Currently, he lives in Peoria, AZ with his wife and two teenage children.
🚨GIVEAWAY ALERT! 🚨
Both Joshua Becker and last week’s guest Katy Wells have graciously offered signed copies of their new books - Uncluttered Faith and Making Home Your Happy Place. Please leave a 5-star written review of the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm Podcast in Apple Podcasts (only if you haven’t left one before), or a rating/comment in Spotify OR share it with a friend via text or social media!
Screen shot the review BEFORE you submit a review (as it can take a few days to show up in Apple Podcasts) OR after you share with your friend and e-mail me at info@simplebyemmy.com before 8 PM EST on Monday, February 9th, 2026. Please let me know in the e-mail if you’re interested in Making Home Your Happy Place, Uncluttered Faith, or either book.

If you feel like you’re always decluttering and never making progress, perhaps it’s because you haven’t looked at the stuff behind the stuff. In this episode, I chat with Katy Joy Wells, host of The Maximized Minimalist podcast and author of Making Home Your Happy Place: A Real-Life Guide to Decluttering Without the Overwhelm to explore the deeper emotional roots of clutter and discover practical strategies for creating a peaceful home. Katy shares her powerful personal story and introduces her Holistic Decluttering Method that goes far beyond simple organizing tips.
We discuss:
- how Katy realized she was using clutter as a shield after a car accident rocked her family’s world in 2017
- her Holistic Decluttering Method including root awareness, the four types of clutter, and designing our homes for follow-through
- how we can find freedom by letting go of identity clutter - arguably the hardest type of clutter for moms
Katy Joy Wells is a declutter expert, podcaster, simplifier, hype-woman, and boy mom. Through her best-selling declutter courses and globally recognized podcast, The Maximized Minimalist, Katy inspires a grace-filled, practical and self-affirming sense of "Wow! I really can do this!" for over 250,000 families across the world. Her new book Making Home Your Happy Place: A Real-Life Guide to Decluttering Without the Overwhelm helps families overcome overwhelm with actionable strategies, declutter with confidence, uncover the deeper roots of clutter and create effortless systems to maintain a peaceful home.

Decluttering isn’t just about bins, labels, and systems - it starts with how you see yourself.
In this episode, I’m joined by Tracy Hoth, certified life and organizing coach and host of the top 1% globally ranked The Organized Coach Podcast. Tracy brings a powerful blend of practical organizing experience and life coaching insight to help women stop fighting clutter and start creating lasting change.
We dive deep into why mindset and identity are the missing pieces for so many people who feel stuck in clutter, even after trying all the tactics. Tracy explains why believing “I’m just not an organized person” can quietly sabotage progress - and how to start rewriting that story.

If you have a love-hate relationship with planning (like I do) or think planning sessions are unattainable for a busy, overwhelmed mom - today’s episode is for you.
I’m joined by Sarah Hart-Unger - practicing pediatric endocrinologist, mom of 3, writer, and co-host of the Best Laid Plans and Best of Both Worlds podcasts - for a refreshing, grace-filled conversation about planning that actually works in real life.
Sarah shares the core ideas behind her book, Best Laid Plans: A Simple Planning System for Living a Life That You Love , including her flexible approach to nested goals, why “being perfect has no place in planning,” and how a solid master calendar and task management system can dramatically reduce mental load.
We also talk about why moms of school-aged kids may benefit from seasonal (quintile) planning instead of quarterly planning, how to use an “ideal week” as a helpful reality check (not a source of guilt), and why making space for fun is a critical — not optional — part of any planning system.
This episode is full of practical wisdom and encouragement for anyone who feels overwhelmed, behind, or convinced they “don’t have time” to plan.
Sarah Hart-Unger is a practicing pediatric endocrinologist, writer, and podcaster with a passion for planning. She loves to share her systems and techniques with others through courses and live planning retreats. She lives with her husband and three children in South Florida. She has been writing most days for over 20 years at theshubox.com.

If you’ve ever felt like the weight of motherhood, work, and life is too much to bear, this episode will help you breathe again. Behavioral science professor and life coach Dr. Amber Curtis joins us to unpack what’s really behind the stress and overwhelm so many moms experience - and how understanding your brain and nervous system can help you reclaim peace, productivity, and joy.
Dr. Amber shares her own journey from burnout and near suicide to finding science-backed tools for emotional regulation, self-compassion, and true calm. You’ll walk away with a new understanding of how your brain works under stress, why “just managing your time better” isn’t the answer, and practical ways to start rewiring your responses in the moment.
In this episode we talk about:
🧠 Why time management isn’t the real solution to burnout and overwhelm
🧠 How your nervous system drives your stress response — and what it needs to feel safe
🧠 The mental and emotional load of motherhood and how our biology makes us deeply attuned to our children’s emotions
🧠 Attachment theory’s role in how we react to our kids’ “big feelings”
🧠 Neurotags explained: what they are, how they form, and how to change them
🧠 Practical tools to create space between your triggers and responses
🧠 The truth about mindset: you can’t change your thoughts until your nervous system feels safe
Dr. Amber Curtis is the CEO of Solutions for Simplicity, a certified life coach, and behavioral science professor who equips overwhelmed women with science-backed strategies to overcome the hidden sources of stress stealing your time and joy. After getting suicidal from the stress of keeping up with her demanding job while raising four young kids, she’s on a mission to make sure no other mom ever burns out like she did. Her coaching, group programs, podcast, and YouTube channel offer proven ways to work with (instead of against!) your brain and body so you can do more, stress less, and be happier.

What if your family’s values could help you feel calmer, more connected, and less overwhelmed—especially when life feels chaotic?
This week, I’m joined by Adriane Thompson, certified parenting coach and founder of Raising Kids with Purpose. Adriane helps parents understand the why behind their child’s behavior and build a home culture rooted in connection.
As a mom of three neurodivergent boys, Adriane knows firsthand how challenging it can be to stay grounded when emotions run high. She shares how defining her family’s values—like safety and kindness—became an anchor point during meltdowns, transitions, and everyday stress.
In this episode, Adriane walks us through:
🌿 Why defining your family values gives you a “home base” when things feel messy or unpredictable
🌿 How to host a fun family meeting (yes, pizza can be involved!) to define your core values
🌿 Practical ideas for weaving those values into daily routines—like creating rituals, songs, or reflection moments with your kids
My favorite takeaway? You’re probably already living out your family’s values—you just may not have written them down yet. Once you name them, it’s so much easier to align your time, energy, and parenting choices with what truly matters most.
Adriane is a certified parenting coach living in Surprise, Arizona, with her husband, three energetic boys, and two Aussiedoodles. She’s passionate about helping parents navigate challenges with a connection-based approach. Adriane has a talent for breaking down complex topics like neurodevelopment, emotional regulation, attachment, and family culture into relatable and impactful strategies.

So many of us feel like we’re always behind, convinced that the right planner or app will finally fix our schedules. But as Anna Dearmon Kornick - time management coach, author of Time Management Essentials: The Tools You Need to Maximize Your Attention, Energy, and Productivity , and host of the It’s About Time podcast - explains, true time management doesn’t start with hacks. It starts with clarity on what matters most.
In this conversation, Anna and I dive into productivity pitfalls, the myth of multitasking, and practical tools like time blocking, creating an ideal week, and simple weekly planning sessions. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, distracted, or like your priorities are slipping through the cracks, this episode is packed with encouragement and strategies to help you manage your time with purpose.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
- Why purpose — rooted in your vision and values — is the foundation of time management
- How time blocking helps combat Parkinson’s Law, the planning fallacy, and context switching
- Why creating an “ideal week” matters more than aiming for a “perfect day”
- Five essential routines that support a well-managed life
- A step-by-step approach to weekly planning — even when you’re overwhelmed
More about Anna:
A true Louisiana firecracker who has become known for making time management fun, Anna helps busy professionals and business owners struggling with overwhelm manage their time using her personality-driven HEART Method.

Clutter isn’t just about messy closets or overstuffed drawers—it impacts our time, energy, emotions, and even our spiritual well-being. In this episode, I’m joined by professional organizer and author Robyn Reynolds, who shares wisdom from her book What Is Your Clutter Costing You? and offers practical strategies for breaking free from the stress clutter creates.
We dive into:
- How clutter fuels a stress cycle that steals our time and focus
- The connection between physical clutter, mental clutter, and productivity
- Why clutter leaves us feeling drained—and how to reclaim our energy
- The concept of “residential productivity” and how mental clutter disrupts home management
- Practical steps for starting and finishing a decluttering project without overwhelm
- The metaphysical and spiritual significance of clutter, and how decluttering can become a form of self-care
Robyn Reynolds, CPO®, was destined to organize—long before she even knew it could be a career. What began as a passion for tidying up her own spaces "just for fun" eventually evolved into Organize2Harmonize, a thriving professional organizing business . Today, Robyn is a Certified Professional Organizer, published author, and sought-after expert in the organizing world. Whether she’s working with celebrities or families, Robyn brings a mix of professionalism, heart, and harmony to every project.

If you’re a mom with ADHD (or parenting kids with ADHD), daily life can feel like constant overcommitment, burnout, and chaos. But what if instead of pushing harder, you learned to strategically parent your brain?
In this conversation, I’m joined by Amy Marie Hann—author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD which comes out September 10, 2025. Diagnosed at five with ADHD and raising three neurodivergent kids, Amy brings both lived experience and practical strategies for building rhythms that actually work for the ADHD brain.
Together we talk about:
- The differences between the boredom zone, depletion zone, ADHD burnout, and activation zone—and how to recognize which one you’re in
- Why urgency feels motivating but creates unnecessary chaos in everyday life (and what to do instead)
- What “executive function capacity” is, and how to “budget” it like a bank account
- How to use the Daily 3 to keep life moving even on burnout or low-energy days
- A realistic plan for balancing novelty with capacity so you don’t overcommit
- How to ditch “rage decluttering” and instead create sustainable habits for your home
If you’ve ever felt like your ADHD brain is working against you, this episode will help you see that it’s not broken - it just needs the right strategies and support to thrive.
About Amy:
Amy Marie Hann is the author of Master the Mundane: How to Manage Your Life, Home, and Family as a Mom with ADHD. Diagnosed with ADHD at age five, she’s now a mom of three, a foster and adoptive parent, and a homeschooling mom who has navigated life with ADHD alongside her husband, kids, dad, and sister. Amy believes the ADHD brain is uniquely designed to bring good to the world—and that the greatest gift moms can give their ADHD kids is modeling what it looks like to thrive.

Do you struggle to let go of things because you see a potential use for them?
Do you keep things in your house because you don’t want them ending up in the landfill?
While our desire not to be wasteful is often rooted in positive values such as resourcefulness, frugality, and environmental responsibility, there are three cognitive biases that skew these values to cause us to hold onto what is no longer serving us.
In today’s episode, we’ll dive into them and teach you how to reframe your thoughts so you can make decluttering easier.

If you are an overwhelmed mom who feels like she’s deep in the trenches of survival mode, are reacting to your kids and spouse in a way that doesn’t make you proud, and feel like you’re constantly putting out fires - today’s podcast episode is for you.
My guest is Lisa Roers - CEO of the Sunshine Cafe Podcast and Leading LIFE Online Coaching Services. She is a disciple of Jesus, a wife, a mom, a professional musician and a Certified Agile Coach, Certified Life coach, a Podcaster, and keynote speaker.
We talk about:
- the impact that constant “reactive mode” is having on your physical and emotional health, as well as your relationships
- simple, practical ways we can get out of overwhelm and become more resilient to change
- why the uncomfortable feeling of learning something new is critical to resilience and the role that neuroplasticity plays
Lisa is passionate about helping people find the clarity they crave and teaching people how to become their best self-advocate for all areas of life - and it shines through in this conversation.

If you are a mom with ADHD who constantly feels like she’s failing when it comes to managing your home, this episode is for you.
In Episode 199 I’m chatting with Stacey Hutson and Stephanie Sprenger, two ADHD moms of four girls ages 4-18 are the hosts of the Mother Plus podcast, a podcast for moms with ADHD--for "too much" moms who feel like they are failing at motherhood and don't want to fail anymore.
We talk about how ADHD brains experience clutter differently, how to work with your brain when it’s wired for interest rather than importance, and the critical foundation you NEED to have in place before you start decluttering.

Have you ever wanted to style your home and you went to HomeGoods or Target without a plan, only to buy a bunch of stuff that ends up becoming clutter?
It is possible to elevate your home’s look WITHOUT trips to the store or wasting money on things that don’t align with your true style and home aesthetic.
Today I’m talking to return guest Dani Watson - wife, boy mom and former first grade teacher turned home decorator and host of the fig + farm at home podcast. Dani is on a mission to teach REAL moms with REAL budgets how to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap in order to create homes that they delight in...all on a budget.
We talk about the importance of understanding the foundation of your style and color palette BEFORE you ever use your credit card and why this is so critical to creating a home you love.
She also takes us step-by-step through the process of styling a bookshelf, something I never knew I needed!

If you have diagnosed or undiagnosed ADHD, or live with someone who does, this episode is for you.
Today I’m speaking with Jaclyn Paul, author of bestseller Order from Chaos: The Everyday Grind of Staying Organized with Adult ADHD.
Growing up in a structured environment and other coping mechanisms caused her ADHD to lay dormant until her early 20’s, when her work’s Employee Assistance Program hotline led to her ADHD diagnosis.
We talk about:
- her experience being married to her husband also with ADHD and the adjustments they’ve needed to make as a result, such as delegation of responsibilities in the marriage
- how to connect with your Why especially when motivation is rarely there with executive functioning challenges
- how we can live harmoniously with people who are super visual (and love piles) without having chaos everywhere - the power of baskets!
- making the container the “bad guy” and using space budgets
- the difference between tasks and projects and how to break down projects effectively so the right things end up on your to-do list
Jaclyn also publishes fiction under the pen name Lena George, where she slyly weaves queer and neurodivergent characters into your next book club favorites. She lives in Baltimore with her family.

Do you have a hard time saying no to free stuff and hand-me-downs?
Do you keep things because of how much you paid for them or “just in case” you need them “someday”?
Did you grow up with financial hardship and feel like you have to overcompensate by giving your kids everything they want?
My guest today is Brittany Flammer, a financial coach, mom of 5 ages 6 to 15, and an avid budgeter.
After years of living near the poverty line with 5 kids, Brittany figured out how to budget and win with money. With an average income of $37k/year her net worth is now over $800k.
She enjoyed sharing what she learned so much that she became a certified financial coach. She now helps clients start their budgeting journey and stick with it.
Brittany and I talk about how she deals with hand-me-downs, letting go of a scarcity mindset to embrace one of abundance, and much more!

How does living with less allow us to make room for joy?
How can we surrender to God to see ourselves as stewards of the gifts he has given us, rather than "stuff managers" bearing the burden of our excess possessions?

My husband never helps me around the house.
The kids always leave their toys on the floor.
I can’t help with your math homework - I’m just not good at math.
I never remember to take the meat out to defrost - what’s wrong with me?
Sound familar? If so, you may be stuck in a fixed mindset and holding limiting beliefs that are keeping you in overwhelm.
Today I have Kate House from the Live by Design Podcast on the show, and we talk all about why a growth mindset as a mom is so important, how we can pause in the midst of our limiting beliefs and choose something different, why modeling it for our children is critical, and much more!
Kate is a wife, mom of two boys, Behavior Change Specialist, Empowerment Coach, Top 2% Globally Ranked Podcaster at the Live By Design Podacst, and Virtual Summit Host. She helps women who feel stuck and overwhelmed and want to move through life with confidence and clarity set and actually achieve their personal goals with soul via mindset shifts, personal growth practices, healthy habits, and guilt-free self care!

Do you frequently feel overstimulated in motherhood? Do you feel ashamed when you yell at your kids - again - after you reach the end of your rope in the midst of the chaos?
KyAnn Molina has been there, and she learned to build intentional rhythms in her day to lighten her mental load to bring flexible structure to her day. We talk about the important rhythms that can help us balance being present with our kids, living out our priorities, and managing our home.
KyAnn is a wife, mom of 3 kids 4 and under, and the host of the top 1% globally ranked podcast Simple Rhythms for Busy Moms. KyAnn helps busy moms create intentional daily rhythms and systems to help them feel balanced in managing motherhood and homemaking. She is passionate about helping moms calm the chaos and grow in finding their identity in Christ, not their to do list. When she isn't coaching moms to help them slow down and simplify, you can find her sipping on iced coffee pretty much any time of the year.

Are you ashamed of the constant mess that surrounds you in your home?
Do phrases like “cleanliness is next to godliness” and the story of the Proverbs 31 woman make you feel like you’ll never measure up?
Do you feel like your brain is broken because you just can’t get your act together and “just get organized”?
Hope is here, friend. Today I’m chatting with Dana K. White from A Slob Comes Clean and the author of the brand new book Jesus Doesn’t Care About Your Messy House: He Cares About Your Heart.
We have a fantastic conversation about the lies we believe about our self-worth when it comes to the state of our homes, and the actual truth: you don’t need to have it all together to enjoy the peace and freedom that comes from God’s grace - and the state of your home is NO indication of your worthiness or the strength of your faith.
Dana is the creator of the No Mess Decluttering Method and (much to her own surprise) a Decluttering Expert. Dana shares realistic home management strategies and a message of hope for the hopelessly messy in her books: Organizing for the Rest of Us, Decluttering at the Speed of Life (a Wall Street Journal bestseller), and How to Manage Your Home Without Losing Your Mind.
Dana teaches her strategies through her blog, podcast, and ideas at ASlobComesClean.com and trains coaches in her unique decluttering process at DeclutteringCoaches.com.
I hope this conversation encourages you!

“I’m fighting so hard for a peaceful home that is clear of clutter. My mind can’t handle the mess. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I take out and how constantly I do tidy ups…The mess keeps exploding and I feel like I’m doing nothing but tidying up from sunrise to sunset.”
This is feedback from one of the mamas in our free Facebook group. Can you relate?
In this episode, I share 3 steps to get off the tidy up hamster wheel so you can STOP tidying all the time.

If you’re feeling anxious and overwhelmed, it’s hard to get out of the negative thought spiral. What if there was a simple phrase that could pull you out of your circumstances and help you focus on the present moment?
On today’s episode, Heather O’Brien and I speak about the simple phrase she uses and how you can implement this practice of gratitude in your own life.
Heather is a prophetic healing coach, minister, author, and speaker. She helps Christians heal with God from trauma, anxiety, and depression by hearing God's voice. She is the host of a top 5% globally ranked podcast, Heal with God. She believes with God's help, you can forgive the unforgivable & heal from trauma.
This is a faith-forward episode, but even for those who are not Christians, I know that our discussion of how to use present moment gratitude to combat anxiety will be a blessing to you.

Instead of an all-or-nothing approach to habits in 2025, what if we took an atomic approach specifically designed for women? What if we celebrated the small wins in our health, relationships, finances, and other areas of our lives?
Today I’m joined by Emily Nichols, host of Habit Hack Your Health - a top ranked podcast that helps working moms habit hack their health in less time, guilt free. From her own struggles and working with 100s of moms as a personal trainer since 2016, Emily found that women need a more habit based approach to their wellness in order for it to be sustainable. No more diets or quick fixes, but a system that allows you to train for life instead.
We chat about why an atomic approach is so important for sustainable behavioral change and how we can incorporate atomic habits into our busy days as moms!

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., where we give thanks for all our blessings and remember what matters most. Unfortunately, we are still heavily influenced by ads that bombard us multiple times a day and the unrelenting comparison that plagues us due to social media and not feeling "enough".
How do we cultivate contentment in a world of comparison? How do we see ourselves as "enough" when it comes to our stuff, our roles, and the stories we tell ourselves?
Today my guest, Courtney Florey, and I discuss these topics and much more!
Courtney Florey is a military wife, boy mom, & Decluttering Coach who is passionate about helping moms find contentment in life through decluttering their homes. Her heart is to help moms find freedom in letting go of things they no longer need while forming meaningful relationships with moms along the way, because life is better when it's lived together.

When we are in seasons of waiting, it can often feel like something to be endured, rather than enjoyed.
How can we “wait well” even if we’re in a season of overwhelm? How can we find contentment rather than wishing it away? How do we shift our gaze from our circumstances to something greater than ourselves?
On today’s episode I’m speaking to Erika Diaz-Castro, Christian life coach for Christian women, the founder and owner of Her Renewed Strength Co,, and the host of Her Renewed Strength - the Podcast. She is also the host of the upcoming 2024 RENEWED Conference where 10 experts (including me!) will talk about what it means to wait well.
Erika talks about her journey to wait well through financial uncertainty, her 5-year cancer journey, her struggles with drugs and alcohol, and more.
This is a faith-filled conversation that will fill you with hope and encouragement.
Erika is a Christ follower, wife, mama, and graduate student at Dallas Theological Seminary. She is passionate about helping women get in God's Word and grow in their faith as Christians.

Our journeys to a simpler, more intentional life can be influenced by many things - including books, podcasts, our faith, other thought traditions, and more.
Today I have the pleasure of speaking to my friend Diane Boden from the top-rated podcast, Minimalist Moms, where she spreads her ideas and interviews in regards to living a life in the pursuit of less.
For more than a decade, Diane’s goal has been simple to think more and do with less. Her journey has incorporated aspects of her Christian faith, as well as nature, Stoicism, Buddhism, and other faith traditions and philosophies to help her live a more intentional life.
We talk about our guilty pleasure Love Is Blind, as well as the importance of discomfort and boredom, as well as the values we’ve imparted onto our children due to a simpler, more minimal lifestyle.
Diane has been featured on other popular podcasts: The Spillover with Alex Clark, The Mom Hour, Find the Magic, With Intention, and many others. She has also been featured in Simplify Magazine in March 2023. Her first book Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with Simplicity released in March 2021. She lives in Columbus, Ohio with her husband and three children.

Have you ever attempted to follow a cleaning schedule - but failed?
Do you buy planners and never use them?
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to chores, cleaning, tidying, or home management in general! We need to create chore systems that work WITH our brain!
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Kelly Briggs from Simple Home Mom all about her best tips for approaching chores with self-compassion, especially if you are neurodivergent or have neurodivergent kiddos!
Kelly has five kiddos ranging from 1 to 13 and started her simple living journey after her third child was born, when she realized that routines were needed in order to keep her sanity! She provides practical tips to help moms make their home lives easier. She writes over on Substack and has free and paid posts for those who need more support - offering tips, printables, audios, and more!

Imagine this scene: You’re shopping in Target with one child pulling on your leg and the other grabbing random items off the shelves, wailing, “PLEEEEASE Mommy can I have this?” An elderly woman in the same aisle smiles at you and says, “You’re going to miss this, dear! The days are long but the years are short!”
Or imagine that you buy a parenting book about a discipline approach that your sister-in-law raves about, but when you try it at home it just makes you feel uneasy. But it’s all you’re seeing on your Instagram ads and hearing about from your mom friends, so you decide just to push through, even though it’s making you miserable.
Whether unrealistic expectations are placed on us by well-meaning people, or we place them on ourselves due to our own childhood experiences, it is something that constantly plagues us with self-doubt. Am I doing enough? Am I doing this right?
On today’s episode, I’m talking with Danielle Bettmann, parenting coach at Parenting Wholeheartedly and the host of the Failing Motherhood Podcast, about how we can declutter these unrealistic expectations and have confidence in our parenting again.
Danielle is a positive-Discipline certified parenting coach who empowers parents to crack the code of their strong-willed child's personality, meet their deepest core needs to improve their behavior, and find new levels of patience. An early childhood educator, certified teacher and home visitor, Danielle now equips parents from all over via Zoom!
Instead of inadvertently inviting defiance by using traditional tools or playing "whack-a-mole" with short-sighted reactions, families get on the same page and learn how to cultivate cooperation while being KIND + FIRM at the same time! Host of the well-loved podcast, Failing Motherhood, she's passionate about eliminating shame from parents' vocabulary, reminding them they are the parent their kids need. She is also a mom to two daughters, wife of 15 years to her high-school sweetheart, and an avid fan of sunshine and coffee.
Resources Mentioned:
Connect with Danielle on her website, her podcast, and Instagram.
I would highly recommend her FREE Calm + Confident masterclass where you’ll learn how to master the KIND + FIRM approach that your strong-willed child needs without crushing their spirit or walking on eggshells.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, creating a “yes” list - a list of everything you’ve said yes to - is a powerful tool to help you understand why you’re saying yes, what needs to change, and how to get yourself out of chaos. My return guest, Jessica Jackson, has amazing insights to share on this important topic!
Jessica is a homeschooling mother of four children, host of Thriving in Motherhood Podcast, creator of the Thriving in Motherhood Planner and Journal, and cheerleader in her program the Surviving to Thriving Toolkit. She knows what it is like to try and find peace and balance between running a business, a household, and creating a strong family culture while real life keeps happening.
After years of struggle she realized there are simple, practical things she can do to stop in living survival mode no matter her circumstances and find meaning and joy in everyday life. Her mission is to empower women to go from surviving motherhood to soaring - using their unique gifts and talents, having a relationship with God, experiencing life as the grand adventure it is, and enjoying meaningful relationships with friends and family.

Sometimes when we are feeling overwhelmed, we have to ask ourselves some hard questions, like:
“Am I causing my own chaos?”
When we understand our non-negotiables and say yes to what aligns with our values rather than what we think others expect from us, we can enjoy contentment in our motherhood.
In today’s episode I’m chatting with Andrea Dekker, a wife and mother of 4 young children who loves nothing more than being home!
Andrea blogs at andreadekker.com, where she shares her passions for creating a peaceful home, pursuing a simpler + slower lifestyle, and encouraging women in all stages of life to lean into their values and live more intentionally.
We chat about the transition to motherhood that caused her to feel overwhelmed, how she learned to start saying “no” and embrace her season of motherhood, and what back-to-school routines look like in her home!

When you think of the word “legacy”, what comes to mind?
What we leave behind for the ones we love?
What if I told you that the legacy we leave our kids is a result of our actions today?
In this eye-opening conversation with Julie Redmond on the Mom Made Plans podcast, we discuss the unhealthy coping mechanisms (including scrolling) that I’ve used to deal with the stresses of motherhood, and how recognizing the legacy I wanted to leave has allowed me to shift my perspective. I also offer some tactical strategies on how to leave a legacy by how we live in the mundane moments of motherhood.
Julie, a two-time guest on Moms Overcoming Overwhelm, is a twin mom and host of the Mom Made Plans podcast. She is on a mission to make mom-life feel easier by getting out of survival mode and into intentional motherhood. She fully believes no routine or system will work until you know how you work. That means using self awareness filled strategies to become more efficient and impactful in your home.

How does decluttering and organizing allow us to calm the overwhelm in our lives? In this interview on the Motherhood Restored Podcast, I chat with Natalie Hixson about the three causes of overwhelm, reducing decision fatigue, the power of saying NO and minding our “shoulds”, and much more!
Natalie Hixson is a wife, mama to three, and Certified professional Christian life coach. She helps discouraged Christian moms overcome destructive anger and burnout.
After learning to thrive in motherhood and process anger in a healthy way, Natalie became convicted to help other moms avoid those dark years of motherhood by helping them to appreciate and process their anger, learn to identify their triggers, and ultimately control their reaction to those triggering situations.

Are you overwhelmed by clutter? Overstimulated easily? Sensitive to noise, touch, caffeine, or sensory input in general? You may be a highly sensitive person, like me. Being an HSP has impacted my parenting in huge ways, including how I respond to sensory input, touch, and noise (hello, two boys!)
In this interview on the Failing Motherhood Podcast, I talk about my struggles with anger in my early motherhood and how I was able to cope - by decluttering, simplifying, and also therapy, medication, mindfulness, and other strategies.
If you struggle with anger in your motherhood or feel constantly overwhelmed, this episode is for you.
Danielle Bettmann, the amazing host of Failing Motherhood, is a parenting coach for families with 1-10-year-old strong-willed kids. You can learn more about Danielle here.

In this episode “remix” I’m bringing you the best clips from my conversation with Lisa Lizotte from the Habits and Home Show all about why resets are the #1 habit to keep your home clutter-free.
Lisa is a wife, mom of three and cheerleader for anyone wanting to simplify their life so that they can enjoy it more. Lisa first tried living as a minimalist but no matter how few possessions she owned, she still struggled to keep up with it all. Then she discovered the solution to the chaos was to simplify and systemize her home to support life-changing habits. Through this process, she’s been able to keep up with daily home management and be more mentally present with her family.
📣 PODCAST UPDATE: I’m taking a break for the summer! You will see replays/interviews I’ve had on others’ shows on Thursdays from now until Thursday, August 15th. I will be back with all new episodes on Tuesday, August 20th! 📣

The term “minimalism” can be a turnoff to those who think that it’s legalistic, restrictive, or requires that you only own a certain amount of stuff. But minimalism has many facets, and it’s a tool that can help you live a more intentional, peaceful life.
In this episode I’m joined again by Desirae Endres from the popular podcast Minimal-ish. We chat about how to make minimalism your own, and what she sees are the four pillars of minimalism.
Desirae is a wife, mom to two girls, and the host of the Minimal-ish podcast where she talks about all things realistic minimalism, motherhood, and intentional living. In 2018, Desirae and her husband set out to live with less clutter in their home. Soon she found that the journey to less was about so much more than a clutter-free home.
Desirae believes that a less cluttered life is where the idea of minimalism really makes a difference- a life focused on more of what matters, and less of what doesn‘t. She is passionate about sharing her journey and walking alongside podcast listeners towards a less cluttered, more intentional life.

Do you feel like you're constantly in survival mode?
Do you wish you could calm the chaos and finally live more intentionally?
Taking a personal inventory may be the key to taking stock of where you're at right now, understanding your needs, and then moving forward on a path of sustainable self-care.
Today's guest is Kari Davis from The Well - Health and Wholeness Podcast. She is founder of thewellteam.com and a certified Holistic Life Coach and an essential oils educator. Kari is passionate about empowering women with the tools they need to reclaim their life through self care, health and finding their identity while embracing the idea of a natural and non-toxic lifestyle in their products and mindset. Kari and her husband, Bobby, live in Naples, Florida with their combined five children.
Kari and I talk about how her life "derailed" after the unexpected death of her husband TJ in 2015 and the steps she took to take inventory of her life and proactively redefine self-care so she could move forwards.

Did you know that the average American child receives over $6500 worth of toys before they reach their teens (source) but 8 of 10 kids play with 20 toys or fewer (source)?
If your home is filled to the brim with toys - most of which your kids never touch - then a toy library may be a solution for you!
Lisa Bourven is mom of two and was a stay-at-home-mom for almost nine years after leaving her career in corporate-level retail operations and analytics. She is married to a Frenchman and earned a graduate business degree in France, where she experienced the joy of living in a small space with less. After seeing the need for a “stay and play” solution that would alleviate many problems in her family’s life (boredom, toy clutter, waste, budget, and tiny play space), The Toy Nest was born.
On today’s episode, Lisa and I speak about why she started The Toy Nest, the benefits of borrowing toys and enjoying the community that a toy library offers, and alternative options to borrow toys if you don’t live close to a toy library.
Do you live in Northern Virginia? Here’s a special offer when you visit the Toy Nest and mention the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm podcast - you’ll get one month of Flock membership for the price of Fledgling membership!

Many of the mamas in the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm Facebook community have shared that they struggle with ADHD, and many have been recently diagnosed. In fact, Epic Research recently reported that the percentage of adult women who were newly diagnosed nearly doubled in the U.S. between 2020 and 2022.
ADHD impacts attention, focus, and impulsive behavior, and can make activities like decluttering (that require sustained focus and attention) difficult.
On today’s episode, productivity expert Alicia Cohen dives into ADHD - what it is, what it isn’t, and the productivity tips that will benefit anyone who struggles with sustained focus and attention - even if you don’t have ADHD.
Alicia Cohen specializes in prioritization and time management. She built her business, Alicia Cohen Designs, based on her own journey of overcoming her overwhelmed and frazzled life -- what she calls the "hamster wheel marathon" -- and now teaches others the methods that she discovered and uses personally.
With Alicia’s support, busy people learn intentional planning, effective productivity, and high-impact mindset shifts that enable them to transform from constantly feeling behind to designing lives that work and feel good.
Alicia is based in the U.S. where she lives with her husband and children. She finds great joy in homeschooling her children and marvels at how blessed she is.

Do you struggle with intense premenstrual symptoms including mood changes, irritability, depression, anxiety, and physical symptoms that prevent you from engaging in your normal life?
Depending on the severity of your symptoms, you may have Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), which affects 31 million people worldwide. PMDD is a chronic, debilitating condition in which the brain has an abnormal--and outsized--response to the normal hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle.
On today’s episode, Diane deJesus shares her journey of struggling with PMDD and how minimalism, simplifying her life, and mindfulness have allowed her to mitigate her symptoms and live a more peaceful, full life.
Diane is a registered dietitian, lactation consultant, trauma-informed mindfulness teacher, and a mom, living with After hitting rock bottom, unable to work, and barely able to perform daily tasks, Diane found peace and acceptance in her relationship with PMDD, through the practice of mindfulness. As a result, she was able to re-engage with her life and rediscover herself. Diane now helps others with the condition to Live Better with Mindfulness for PMDD. A dual citizen of the US and UK, Diane currently lives in Texas with her husband, son, and Yorkie puppy.

As you embark on your decluttering and simplifying journey, you start to ask yourself questions such as:
What am I making space for?
What dreams have been buried in the stuff and chaos around me?
Where do I find my self-worth as a mom and woman? Is it in the roles that I play and the things I own, or something deeper?
When we start simplifying and creating space in our homes, calendars, and minds, it opens up so much more than extra square footage or hours in our day. It allows us to dream, to see where our self-worth truly comes from outside what we have and what we do, and to reach our greatest potential as moms and women.
On today’s episode, simplicity coach Rose Lounsbury and I discuss these topics and much more!
Rose helps busy working moms declutter their homes, simplify their work lives, and clear their minds. After struggling to balance a teaching career and 2-year-old triplets, Rose was introduced to minimalism in 2012.

Once I removed the physical clutter and calendar clutter that was no longer serving me, I was left with my thoughts. We can’t control our thoughts and according to research we have 12,000-16,000 of them a day. But the issue is that 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive - in other words, they are the negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, “shoulds”, and to-do’s swirling around in our brain.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my simple four-step plan to master your mental clutter, so you can stop feeling scattered and distracted in your life and motherhood.

How do we find the magic in the “blessed mundane” of motherhood?

Right now you are likely experiencing the post-holiday glow…or the post-holiday spending hangover. And even if you didn’t blow your budget in 2023, you may struggle with impulse purchases. The average American spent $151 per month on impulse purchases in 2023, or over $1800 in a year. If spending money more intentionally in 2024 is one of your goals, today’s episode with Meghan Dwyer is for you.
Meghan is a Certified Financial Planner and host of the Money Isn’t Scary podcast. After spending 15 years watching women take a passive role in the management of their money, she’s on a mission to help them stop playing small. By challenging the societal norms around women and money, Meghan aims to empower women to make money decisions out of a sense of abundance and confidence, rather than scarcity and fear. When Meghan isn’t working, she loves running, writing, and being mom to her two young boys.
On today’s episode, Meghan shares her best tips on developing a values-based spending strategy so you can go into 2024 with confidence - rather than with a bunch of stuff you wish you hadn’t bought from Amazon!

I’ve been pursuing a simpler, more minimal lifestyle for almost a decade and have learned a lot along the way. But hosting this podcast continues to teach me something new every week! So here’s 23 things I’ve learned about decluttering in 2023.
Last days of my GIVEAWAY! If you leave a written review in Apple Podcasts between December 12, 2023 and December 31, 2023 AND send a screenshot of the review (info@simplebyemmy.com or direct message me on Facebook or Instagram), you’ll be in the running for a free autographed copy of my children’s book Little One. Great as a gift for the little ones in your life!
Resources Mentioned:
Here’s the list of 23 things I learned about decluttering in 2023 with links to all the relevant episodes!
-
I need to always remind myself why I’m holding on, and why I’m letting go. (Episode 3)
-
My emotions and thoughts are not my reality. I can feel overwhelm (vibration in my body) and have a thought, but can always ask if the thought is true. My thoughts are not me. (Episode 82)
-
I can have the courage to understand my values and live in alignment with them, even if they aren’t what everyone else does. (Episode 3)
-
Decluttering unemotional areas first gives me the momentum and the strength of small wins so I can do harder things. (Episode 5)
-
Artificial boundaries, including margins in my day, allow me to live within my capacity. (Episode 6 and Episode 30)
-
What I model to my kids matters. (Episode 18)
-
If decluttering is decision making, clutter is delayed decisions. (Episode 6)
-
Decluttering is reclaiming what is rightfully mine - my time, energy, focus, and attention. (Episode 8)
-
Once I’ve paid for something with money, I don’t have to keep paying for it with my time and energy. I can let go of the guilt and move on. (Episode 9)
-
Keeping aspirational clutter - things that we used to do, that used to fit us - just makes me feel bad about myself. I can let it go knowing that in another season, I may be able to get back to those things but I don’t have to feel bad about my life now. (Episode 10)
-
Just because an item has memories attached, doesn’t mean I need to keep it if the memories aren’t positive ones. (Episode 11)
-
Perfectionism and procrastination are two sides of the same coin. Not doing it perfectly prevents me from starting, so I’m going to start small and imperfectly, especially with decluttering. (Episode 12 and Episode 73)
-
Your loved ones want you to be happy, not burdened by their stuff. Let go of the guilt. A gift given out of love doesn’t need to be kept out of guilt. (Episode 14)
-
“Just in case” likely means never. Instead, focus on “just for when” items - seasonal, etc. and be realistic about what you actually use and need. (Episode 15)
-
The most powerful questions I can ask myself are “What can I lay down?” and “What unnecessary decisions can I remove from my life?” (Episode 19)
-
Just because I get something for free or a gift does not mean I need to keep it. I am the CEO of my home. (Episode 23)
-
I set the tone for my home and what is acceptable when it comes to clutter and tidying. (Episode 81)
-
You need a system around your stuff or else you’ll continue to feel overwhelmed. (Episode 81)
-
Clutter-free living is not a final destination. It’s a journey and process based upon small, consistent steps. (Episode 52)
-
Thinking about my family being burdened by my stuff if something happens to me may be morbid, but it’s super powerful. (Episode 65)
-
There is nothing I can buy that is going to make me feel better in the long run. Dopamine is fleeting. Peace that comes from a clutter-free home is better than any purchase. (Episode 23)
-
Being present with my kids is more important than sticking to any routine perfectly. (Episode 74)
-
I am worth more than anything I have ever paid for what I own. (Episode 8)

What is the connection between our nervous system and how we experience motherhood? How can we process and release our emotions in a healthy way and then teach that to our children?

What does it mean to be a “cyclone” mom? It means that regardless of external circumstances, you can get your power from a calm center. Today Danielle Thienel from the Peaceful Mind Podcast for Busy Moms is sharing three critical mindset tools that can help you overcome overwhelm - including embracing the “B minus” mom, understanding that overwhelm is a vibration in your body and how your thoughts impact your action (or inaction), and the 50/50 model.
Danielle is a certified life coach who supports faith-filled moms to create balance in their busy lives. She is a wife, mom of three, member of the Catholic Church, author, speaker and host of The Peaceful Mind Podcast for Busy Moms. Her mission is to empower overwhelmed and stressed moms to feel more peace and joy in their busy mom-life so they can maximize their full potential. She does this through sharing her process called The Cyclone Mom Method through her books, courses and life coaching offerings.

When we are stressed and overwhelmed, planning is usually the first thing to go by the wayside. But intentional planning doesn’t have to take up a ton of time, and can have incredible benefits!
In today’s conversation, I’m talking again with Sarah Horgan from Simple + Intentional about her best tips for intentional planning to combat anxiety and overwhelm.
Sarah is a full-time teacher, mom and wife who is passionate about helping women change their lives through decluttering.
After a cancer diagnosis in 2014, she discovered her perfectionism and people pleasing were holding her back and creating a lot of overwhelm. This was also the year she first discovered minimalism and slowly started getting rid of things.
Fast forward to 2018 and becoming a mom. The overwhelm forced Sarah to start examining her relationship with stuff and the big purge began. And she hasn't looked back!
Now Sarah helps other moms deal with their clutter, get organized and create systems + routines to make life easier.
You can find her on Instagram, her website or in the simple + intentional Facebook community

I never thought I was an angry person…until I became a mom.
Throughout my own journey with anger, I’ve sought out therapy (including EMDR), medication, and the support of other moms who have gone before me on this journey. I still have moments where I’m triggered by my kids, but things are much better thanks to consistent daily habits that help me with my anger and stress.
Today’s guest, Elizabeth Andreyevskiy has also walked this journey and now she is sharing her best tips for improving our stress resilience and healthy habits to support our nervous system.
Elizabeth is a stress coach for Christian moms. She is the host of Emotionally Healthy Legacy podcast and a mom of 4. Elizabeth is super passionate about mental health and emotional wellness in motherhood. She supports stressed Christian moms in overcoming anger and embracing emotional stability, empowering them to leave an emotionally healthy legacy for their children's lives.
I hope that you will be blessed by our conversation!

When our family life is chaotic, flexible systems and using the power of habits and habit stacking can help us survive - and even thrive - in the most difficult seasons of our motherhood - especially if our kids have special needs. Today I’m talking to Katie Keene, homeschooling mom of five, about her experience balancing everything by leveraging the power of simple systems.
Katie Keene is the host of the top 1% globally rated podcast Her Home and Heart, and host to a membership community of beautiful Christian homeschooling families on the journey to peace at home and generational family success despite the challenges of raising a special needs child.

Katie is most passionate about helping special needs families create strong bonds and deep roots.

Trigger warning - child loss discussed on today's episode*
Casey Jones @that.minimalist.mom started her minimalist journey over seven years ago, when she realized that she wanted to spend more quality time with her family, but the excess stuff, commitments, and home management responsibilities were getting in the way of a meaningful life.
She decluttered, downsized, and embraced a minimalist lifestyle both in streamlining what she owned but also simplifying her family’s schedule and routines. On today’s episode we talk about her journey, as well as how the foundation of minimalism and simplicity impacted her navigating the loss of her son Colt and the grieving process that followed.
You can connect with Casey on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok where she teaches women to live intentionally, minimally, simply and clutter free to make room for more of what matters.

Decluttering is hard work, but is made even harder if you keep bringing stuff into your home. Mary Simpson worked 50-80 hours a week and used shopping as a reward until a health scare in early 2020 changed her mindset about stuff and using shopping as entertainment. She realized that we only get one shot at this life, and it’s not the stuff that matters. She and her family downsized and got rid of almost 75% of their belongings as they sought a simpler, more intentional life.
On today’s episode Mary is sharing her amazing story, as well as a four-step process to stop the shopping habit so that you can live more intentionally and prevent clutter before it starts!
You can connect with Mary on Instagram where she shares inspirational tips and advice to those seeking a more minimal-ish life.

The Man in the Arena speech by Theodore Roosevelt
The Mom in the Arena by Emily McDermott
It is not the critic who counts; nor the mom who berates herself for stumbling, or who looks to Instagram to see where she, the doer of all the doing, could have done it better. The credit belongs to the same mom who is actually in the arena, whose shirt is stained by spit up and Goldfish crumbs; who strives valiantly to be the mom she knows she is called to be; who yells at her kids, who comes up short again and again, who apologizes and makes it right and tries better the next day. Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; there is no perfect mom - it is an illusion that traps us despite what we know in our heart of hearts to be true. But who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows the great enthusiasms of the laughter of a child and a moment of true connection, the great devotion we feel to the family entrusted to our care; who spends herself in the most worthy of causes; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of being imperfectly devoted to the highest calling of all, and who at the worst, when she fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that her place shall never be with the moms who let perfectionism prevent them from the victory of a life fully lived.

We know that clutter directly impacts our overwhelm and stress, as well as our physical health. As we declutter and simplify, we are seeking a more peaceful, less stressful life. But if you have a chronic illness that is impacted by stress - like my guest Ali Cornish - then it’s even more important to declutter your home, head, and heart so that you can learn to not only survive, but thrive despite the challenges of the illness.
Ali describes herself as a mother, writer and wife rooted in minimalism, wellness, and lifelong learning. Shortly after launching her website Everthrive.org, she was diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis (otherwise known as AS), an incurable inflammatory disease. After suffering from long bouts of pain and intermittent immobility, Ali chose to redouble her commitment to a minimalist way of life. Through living simply, eliminating distractions, and focusing on the important aspects of life, she put her AS symptoms into remission.
Whether you have a chronic illness like Ali, or if you’re just looking for ways to reduce stress and inflammation, today’s episode is incredibly helpful and I know you’re going to learn a lot.

Today I’m very excited to bring you my conversation with Jessica Jackson from the Thriving in Motherhood Podcast all about the 3 levels of overwhelm that moms experience and how we can overcome them.
Jessica and I connected in 2018, I have been a guest on her podcast a few times and she is one of my coaches. I use her planner and am part of her Next 90 Days/Soaring Mothers Society where we talk about our vision, goals, and celebrate our wins every month! She is homeschooling mom to four children who knows what it is like to try and find peace and balance between running a business, a household, and creating a strong family culture while real life keeps happening (hard pregnancies and postpartum, sickness, cross country moves, husband has busy work seasons, etc.).
After years of struggle she realized there are simple, practical things she can do to stop living in overwhelm and find meaning and joy in everyday life. Thriving in Motherhood equips women to use their gifts and talents and build strong families no matter the circumstances of the world.

Sarah Carabell is an Air Force spouse and wife to an energetic son (and dog!) She is also my friend and decluttering coaching client! She struggled with postpartum depression and anxiety for two years despite having a degree in nutrition and a background in personal training. Frustrated with the side effects of medication, she sought a more natural solution. Thankfully, three years ago she found it and now helps mom overcome overwhelm and anxiety without medication.
Today we talk about her postpartum journey, the advice she has for moms going through a similar struggle, and how simple steps have helped her keep her anxiety at bay.

I call them the 3 F’s and I’m sharing them in today’s episode. Let’s do this!

Cycle syncing can be described as adapting your lifestyle to your the different phases of your menstrual cycle. Changing levels of hormones including estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone have a direct effect on our mood and energy. So if we are aware of what to expect in each of the four phases of the menstrual cycle - (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal), we can better plan our diet, exercise, calendar, and yes, even decluttering (as well as shopping) around the shifts in our hormones.

Have you ever felt like "just" a mom? You know, when you’re trying to find your identity and purpose while you are cleaning up crumbs from the kitchen floor and pee from the toilet seat, changing out the laundry or trying to seem interested in playing on the floor with your kids...when all you want to do is take a nap or just sit in silence without anyone asking you for anything?
In today’s special episode in honor of Mother's Day, I am reminding you that you are not alone, and that you are more than the mundane parts of motherhood. I have learned 3 things in my decluttering journey that remind me of the totality of who I am - someone with a calling and a purpose. Tune into the end for a special poem I wrote called "Just" a Mom!

Does keeping a tidy home feel like an uphill battle? Today on the podcast, Lisa Lizotte from the Habits and Home Show shares the one life-changing habit that will transform your home management and keep your home clutter-free.
Lisa is a wife, mom of three and cheerleader for anyone wanting to simplify their life so that they can enjoy it more. Lisa first tried living as a minimalist but no matter how few possessions she owned, she still struggled to keep up with it all. Then she discovered the solution to the chaos was to simplify and systemize her home to support life-changing habits. Through this process, she’s been able to keep up with daily home management and be more mental present with her family. Lisa also shares what it was like to live with her family in an RV the was only 300 square feet, and how she is forever grateful for that experience.

Stress, anxiety, and overwhelm definitely impact how we parent, and if you throw a strong-willed kiddo (or two) into the mix, then parenting becomes even more challenging.
Today’s guest is Danielle Bettmann. Danielle is a Positive-Discipline certified parenting mentor for families with strong-willed kids age 1-7 and host of the Failing Motherhood podcast. She guides parents to cultivate cooperation, extend their patience and prevent behavior proactively through a group coaching program called Wholeheartedly CALM. A teacher by trade and a coach by strengths, her passion is to be a translator between adult + child, helping parents crack the code of their child's personality and find sanity + strategies.
Today, Danielle shares her powerful story about why she ended up downsizing with her two daughters, moving to an apartment and getting rid of 75% of their belongings and, even when she moved into a larger home again, not filling it up with stuff when she recognized the benefits of living with less. We then talk about how to approach parenting with self-awareness, compassion, and without mom guilt, especially when we’re overwhelmed and dealing with strong-willed kiddos.

Instead of using the physical confines of our home as a barometer for how much we own, and filling our schedules within the confines of the 24 hours we have in a day, we need to look at our capacity, that is, what we can reasonably manage when it comes to our stuff and our time. Today I dive deep into this mindset shift, which has forever changed the way that I go about decluttering.

Glitter. Toys. Pillow forts. Paint. Childhood is messy! And when you’re trying to keep a tidy house, the mess can be unnerving. We think about how long it’s going to take to clean up, rather than fully enjoying our kids’ creativity.
In today’s episode, my guest Desirae Endres shares how she’s been able to shift her mindset about kids’ messes and remember that embracing minimalism doesn’t mean everything is always tidy, but easily tidied!
Desirae is a mom of two, wife, podcast host, and former English teacher. Her passion is to share the message of minimalism and intentional living with other women, as minimalism is a movement has truly changed her life. She shares her journey in minimalism and intentional living on her podcast, Minimal-ish.

Do you have piles of paper that are constantly shuffled around from place to place?
Do you lack a system around all the paper coming into your home?
Today I’m sharing my no-fail paper processing routine around the three main categories of paper that my mamas struggle with the most - mail, kids’ school papers, and kids’ artwork.

For kids’ school papers:
I use Evernote (especially the Evernote app) to easily capture kids’ school work and artwork I want to keep. Here’s a short Reel showing you how I use it.
For kids’ artwork and crafts:
If artwork doesn’t go on my kids’ corkboards in their rooms, I leave it in art purgatory for a few months. Then I go through it and will either take a photo using Evernote or throw it away.
I will keep a limited number of items (especially with handprints, etc.) in a physical file folder after I have taken a photo or scanned it.
Other ways to keep your kids artwork is using a system like Artkive and Keepy. They are apps that have paid and free versions that can take your kids’ artwork and make art books or framed mosaics out of them.

Today I am thrilled to bring you an interview with Dani Watson. Dani is a former first grade teacher turned home decorator. She describes herself as a daughter of the King, wife, boy mom and popcorn enthusiast. She's the host of the #1 ranked home design podcast, fig & farm at home.
What I love about Dani and why I invited her on the show is that she teaches busy moms with REAL homes and REAL budgets how to break free from the Pinterest perfect trap to create a home that tells their story with their style. She also grew up in a cluttered environment, and this really influenced her intentional approach to design and decorating.
As we are decluttering, we want to keep in mind what is most important to us. And that includes asking ourselves how we want our home to feel, and what story we want it to tell. Dani believes that homes are a canvas for storytelling, and learning how to intentionally decorate your home can help make it the restful haven you want it to be, not a cluttered, overwhelming place. And spoiler alert - the secret to intentional design is not buying every throw pillow you can find at Home Goods or Target!

My 20-minute laundry system will help you stay on top of laundry (rather than being buried in piles) once and for all!

Have you ever looked around your house and thought to yourself, “I don’t like it here?” Has your home ever felt like a prison filled with stuff, rather than a peaceful haven? If so, you’re going to love my conversation today with my friend Elyse Rooney.
Elyse shares a powerful story of the moment she realized she didn’t like being in her home, a moment that prompted her to grab the trash bags and start to ruthlessly declutter the things that weren’t serving her and her family. If you have ever felt anxious and overwhelmed in your home and knew something needed to change, I know you’re going to love her story.
Elyse lives in Australia with her husband and 3 children. She is a Christian Motherhood coach and chai latte enthusiast (something she and I have in common). Elyse helps moms, or “mums” as they say in Australia, of young kids to step into their calling of homemaking and raising their children. She is passionate about helping overwhelmed mums trade stress for peace and create flow in their home. Elyse also shares her journey of moving to a slow, simple way of living and why all mothers should embrace a more holistic, natural lifestyle. Elyse is the host of a top 1.5% global podcast, The Wholesome Mumma Show. She believes it is possible to spend quality time with your children, without the mum guilt of letting the home or the to do list go.

When it comes to decluttering, you need to ask yourself some tough questions. Marie Kondo made this type of questioning popular with her favorite: “Does it spark joy?” While this may work for some items, I personally don’t think it’s a very helpful litmus test for deciding what to keep and what to toss. So today I’m sharing four lesser-known, but powerful questions that I use regularly in my own decluttering practice that will help you declutter more effectively.

If you search for decluttering tips in Pinterest, you will find hundreds of ideas, decluttering challenges, and the like. But what you won’t find as much as is how to prevent excess stuff that becomes clutter from coming into your house in the first place. Recommending that people buy less is not supported by our consumerist culture.
The hard truth is that if you want to stop constantly decluttering, you have to be more intentional and, dare I say ruthless, with what you are bringing into your home. You have to be mindful of the still small voice that is questioning your purchases in the moment.
In today’s episode, I share the three things you need to STOP doing in order to get out from under your clutter.

On January 26th, 2023, a Washington Post article about Marie Kondo, the patron saint of decluttering and tidying, was anything anyone could talk about on my Facebook and Instagram feeds.
Was it true? Had Marie Kondo, whose career exploded because of her book The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, truly “given up” on the very thing she said was life-changing now that she was a mom of three?
Reading the clickbait titles of online articles like these, it seemed to be true:
“Marie Kondo’s House is Messy. Should You Give Up on Being Tidy, Too?”
“Marie Kondo has Finally Realized What it Costs to Be Tidy - and Like Me, Has Decided to Chill the Hell Out”
But in reading the Washington Post article itself, and looking at Kondo’s exact words, I’m not planning to let go of the decluttering and tidying systems in my home that help support my physical, emotional, and mental health. Kondo isn’t giving up on tidying in the sense that her house is going to be in the next episode of Hoarders. On the contrary, she has given up on something far more important. She has given up on unrealistic expectations, and issue that plagues me and pretty much every mom I’ve ever met.
So in today’s episode, we’re going to see Marie Kondo’s words for what they are and learn about the three things she can teach us about letting go of unrealistic expectations to live a life that truly sparks joy.

One of the main questions I get from moms is about how to simplify and streamline their wardrobe. We’ve all been there - our closets are stuffed with clothes and yet we have “nothing to wear”. As an overwhelmed mom, we don’t want to spend a lot of time and energy on getting dressed, and oftentimes we leave our closets feeling frazzled and depressed.
Today I’m going to share my five best tips for curating your closet and saying goodbye to the chaos. Getting dressed is something we all need to do, but it does not need to drain your energy!

Did you know that every day we supposedly make 35,000 decisions (although my guess is that it’s higher for moms)? If you’re going through your days exhausted, burnt out, and not sure how you’re going to find an ounce of energy to declutter anything, I have an idea what the culprit may be. Too much stuff means too many choices and too many decisions, which causes decision fatigue! In today’s episode I’m going to talk about the three reasons why unnecessary decisions are stealing your energy and what we can do about it.

There are so many roadblocks to decluttering that we’ve spoken about in previous episodes - how long we’ve owned something, how much we paid for it, thinking that we might use it “someday” or we “should” keep it because it’s sentimental, or belonged to a family member.
But there is one huge roadblock that we’re going to dive into today - something we tell ourselves over and over again. In fact, the two guys who call themselves The Minimalists say that these are the 3 most dangerous words in the English language. Can you guess what they are? We’re going to chat about them and how we can shift our mindset to kickstart our decluttering efforts in a powerful way.

Whether overt or perceived, guilt is a major reason why we hold onto what we don’t need. And family guilt is particularly tricky, because relationships are involved which (as we know) can be very complex. We have to tread lightly while still holding our boundaries around what comes across the threshold of our front door.
In today’s episode I’m going to give you three tips on how to deal with the guilt you may feel, so that you stop saying yes to stuff you don’t want or need out of guilt, and can let go of what you may already have in your home that isn’t serving you or your family.

Today I’m thrilled to bring you my first interview on the podcast. Once a month I will introduce you to a mom who has overcome overwhelm through decluttering and simplifying. Today I chat with Sarah from Simple + Intentional. Sarah is a full-time teacher, mom + wife who is passionate about helping women change their lives through decluttering.
After a cancer diagnosis in 2014, she discovered her perfectionism + people pleasing were holding her back + creating a lot of overwhelm. This was also the year she first discovered minimalism and slowly started getting rid of things.
Fast forward to 2018 and becoming a mom. The overwhelm forced Sarah to start examining her relationship with stuff and the big purge began. And she hasn't looked back!
Now Sarah helps other moms deal with their clutter, get organized and create systems + routines to make life easier.
You can find her on Instagram, her website or in the simple + intentional Facebook community

Sentimental items. They are the things we keep because they have meaning to us. They are imbued with memories. Or perhaps they don’t mean a lot to us, but they belonged to a family member and remind us of that person.
Of course we should surround ourselves with things that have meaning to us, but when sentimental items become clutter because of how much we’re keeping (and where we’re keeping it- typically in dusty boxes), we need to really evaluate what we have any why.
Today we chat about 3 mindset hacks that will help make decluttering sentimental items easier. If you need help with yours, make sure to join us in our free Facebook group! We are doing a 30-day decluttering challenge to help you declutter before the end of 2022.

Where do I start and when do I find the time? When I coach other moms, these are the same two questions I get time and time again. And I get it. When you’re overwhelmed, it’s hard to look at something as daunting as decluttering and think that something that requires so much energy and focus is something you can handle when you’re so inundated already. It’s one more thing to do on a never ending to-do list. And when it comes to time, it’s hard to even remember if you ate breakfast today, let alone whether you can squeeze in the time to declutter a junk drawer.
Today I talk about why we feel so overwhelmed by the idea of decluttering, which causes us to avoid it altogether.
Here is the recent Instagram post I mention about the three layers of stuff.
