From Chaos to Peace with Conny: Recent Episodes

Conny Graf

Conny Graf from Chaos to Peace Consulting takes you on a journey on how to declutter and organize your home, office, files, and finances. She explores, sometimes solo and often with a guest, how a few minutes a day can keep the chaos away. And with chaos she's talking about the physical, digital, social, financial, mental, emotional, energetic and spiritual clutter that can accumulate in our life and business. Conny shares tips, tools, and techniques on how to clear your clutter, get organized and how to put habits and simple systems in place that prevent the clutter from creeping back in. Clutter stresses us out. By living a clutter-free life you are making space for the things that are most important to you so you can move towards your dreams and goals while being organized is simply a side-effect. https://www.connygraf.com

Most business or financial advice only looks at the data. Your revenue goes into the spreadsheet, and out come smart recommendations but without taking the human being running the business into consideration.

This is not at all how I work with clients. In this episode I pull back the curtain and share what it's like to have me as your fractional CFO, partner and ally. What it looks like when financial precision is combined with a genuine understanding of human nature.

One of the hardest things about being a business owner is the loneliness of it. When you work with me, you get a safe space to be completely authentic. To say "I am exhausted and I don't know what to do" and "the numbers scare me" and "I feel like I'm the bottleneck in my own business" all in the same conversation. And the best part, you don't have to offer lengthy explanations because as your fractional CFO I know already what's going on in your business.

In my experience, something shifts, not just in the numbers on the spreadsheets also in the person at the helm of that business when you have someone who truly gets both, the numbers and the human behind it, in your corner.

I talk quite a bit about how to make good decisions here on the podcast, but what about what happens after? That quiet voice that shows up months later whispering "you should have waited, you left money on the table, you got it wrong."_ Or maybe the voice isn't whispering but yelling?

In this episode I talk about something that drives so many of our decisions without us even realizing it, the fear of future regret. And more importantly, what to do about it or how to prevent it. It's practical, honest, and maybe a little bit mind blowing, at least that's how it was for me when I first heard the solution.

After a really rough day at the office, the kind that leaves you completely drained, your nervous system buzzing, and your brain still replaying everything even though you're technically off the clock.... my advice to my client was surprisingly simple.

In this episode I share a tiny but powerful ritual that costs nothing extra, takes only a few minutes, and has both ancient wisdom and modern neuroscience behind it. Now the ritual works for everyone all the time, but I also share a personalized twist for each of the four elements, fire, earth, air and water... speaking of water, here is a little spoiler, it involves water. But for the rest you'll have to listen for.

Statistically, February is when most people abandon their goals. But this week's New Moon in Aquarius gives you a chance to recommit—unconventionally. In this episode, I share how I use this Aquarius energy to inject innovation into my business planning.

This New Moon is about doing things YOUR way, an In Your Element, not the "proper" way, so let's brainstorm innovative approaches that work with how you tick and will help you break free from what's not working and find your unique path forward.

Without a guidance system, we tend to drift. In this episode, I share why I use three planning tools to navigate my business: a North Star (big vision), a Lighthouse Plan (3-year outlook), and a Compass (yearly budget).

You'll hear why the 3-year plan is where the magic happens, the three sections I include in mine, and how this system pulls you out of reactive mode and into CEO thinking.

If you've been captaining your business without navigation tools, or if your budget feels like a straitjacket instead of freedom, you need to hear this!

What if wealth had nothing to do with mansions, fancy cars, or high society dinners?

I was recently challenged in my mastermind to talk more about wealth... and I pushed back quite hard. Not because I don't like the topic, but because I don't see myself as someone who teaches "wealth" .. at least not in the traditional sense.

In this episode, I share my personal definition of wealth and what a rich life looks like which goes way past of looking successful. You'll also hear an example from my year-end money review, why my spending decisions come down to values not just numbers, and what integrity has to do with it all.

If you too feel uncomfortable around the gurus showing off their mansions and fancy cars and if the traditional definition of wealth doesn't fit you either, this episode is for you, let's redefine it together.

In this epsiode the wonderful Katie Pulsifer joins me. Katie is a coach who helps women rediscover who they are after big life shifts (think: raising kids, navigating empty nesting or stepping out of high-powered corporate roles).

She opens up about her own journey, the big leap from working as an employee and teacher to returning to full-time entrepreneurship. We dive deep into what it really takes to move through uncertain transitions, including all the messy mindset work that comes with it.

Here’s what you’ll hear us chat about

Why leaving behind major roles feels so disorienting, and how to find our footing again.
What to do when our brain tries to fixate on every flaw and doubt
How to live in the “in-between” when our mind craves certainty.
Why the transition phase can feel so wobbly, and how to move through that discomfort with a bit (or a lot) more self-compassion.
we also chat about finding our own sustainable pace for life and business. How we need to let go of pressure (from ourself and others) to “hustle and scale” and instead build a business that truly fits our values and our real life.

If you’re feeling in-between identities, roles, or seasons right now, and even if you're not, this conversation will inspire you and remind you that you’re absolutely not alone, and that it’s possible to move forward in a way that feels true to you.

In this episode we take a look at the popular advice to “spend to save taxes.” Together we walk through a simple example that shows why buying random things at the end of the year just to reduce profit is usually a losing game for your bank account and your peace of mind.

Instead of trying to get rid of profit (hear how backwards that sounds?), I invite you to see profit as something you can direct. I'll suggest calmer, more empowering ways to use the money we have.

I also offer a short and simple year end money reflection by asking yourself three questions.

I invite you to slow down the Black Friday frenzy and honestly look at how you are spending. Are you buying “just in time” to solve a real problem in your business, or “just in case” because of FOMO and clever marketing?

Together we explore how Black Friday plays with our nervous system, why “just in case” courses and tools often turn into digital and financial clutter, not to mention mental and emotional chaos. I also talk about how to use a simple “parking lot” note and a four question buying filter before we click “buy now.”

This episode is especially for small business owners and online entrepreneurs who want more peace in their business and not more chaos on their credit card at the end of the year and into 2026.

Tune in to start shifting from chaotic, reactive spending to calm, intentional money choices that support your business, your rainy day fund, and your future self.

Have you also seen videos on social media that made you stop and think "wait... is that real?"

It's not just AI slop that's deceiving us. We're also deceiving ourselves every time we look at someone else's life and think their grass is just naturally greener.

In this episode, I share a mind-bending insight from Dr. David Hawkins that can completely reframed how you think about deception (both external and internal), plus a simple practice from my mentor that helps you know whether something is true or not.

Whether you're scrolling through questionable content or comparing yourself to others, the solution is the same. And it's not what you think.

In this episode:

Why that convincing AI video is more dangerous than you realize
The philosophical concept that bridges external lies and internal comparison
How we already knows what's true (and how to listen to it)

Change is hard, not because we don’t know how, but because we don’t always want to. In this episode, I explore what really fuels resistance and how it shows up differently for each of the four elements (Fire, Earth, Air, and Water).

You’ll recognize your own patterns around change and what’s keeping you stuck, whether that's in your business finances, your systems, or your mindset. The key to change isn’t another “how-to.”, it’s finding your want-to.

"I just need to make more money" or "I just need a few more clients" If you've ever thought that... and then made more money but still didn't have enough, this episode is for you.

Today I'm sharing why your money problem probably isn't what you think it is, and the one question that changes everything when you ask it.

Fair warning: this goes deep. But if you're tired of the anxiety-avoidance cycle around your business finances, it's time to dig deeper.

We’ve been taught that independence equals strength. Especially as women, we tell ourselves we should be able to do it all: the finances, the strategy, the planning, and hold it all together.

But what if that belief is what’s keeping you stuck and exhausted? What if real strength isn’t about doing it alone?

In this episode, I talk about why having support doesn’t make you weak, it makes you wiser. I share new research from the University of British Columbia, along with insights from my own life, my business, and what I’ve seen in my clients.

Everything truly is better and lighter when you stop trying to carry it all yourself.

If you’ve been telling yourself you should be able to do it all by yourself, that you shouldn’t need help, or you feel that you should have it all figured out by now, this episode is for you.

Indecision, aka sitting on the fence, is a sneaky form of mental clutter. It drains our energy without moving us forward. In this episode, I explore what it really costs us, why half-decisions rarely work, and share a simple framework for moving off the fence into "all-in"-action.

If you struggle with believing in yourself, I also share an insight from my mentor that made me chuckle (hint: it may or may not involve a unicorn 🦄).

Tune in to learn how to step down, get moving, and reclaim your energy. Because sitting on the fence is for birds and squirrels, not for us humans.

According to the Personality Theory our greatest strengths can become our biggest weaknesses, especially when we lean on them too hard.

In this episode, I shine a light on this pattern from the perspective of the dominant elements. How the Fire type’s passion can turn into frustration, the Earth type’s reliability into stubbornness, the Air type’s brilliant ideas into scatteredness, and the Water Type’s empathy into overwhelm and blurred boundaries.

I also weave in Jung’s wisdom on being “good vs whole,” with a timely Virgo example of how our need for results can backfire, and a personal story of how I’ve learned to work with my weaknesses instead of fighting them.

Tune in for insights that will help you embrace both your strength and your challenges, and move from chaos to peace by becoming whole, not just “good.

This episode dives into courage as a conscious choice and how understanding is not knowing. We are stronger than we think and courage means doing what feels uncomfortable, owning your choices, and most of all, having your own back when things don’t go as planned.

In this episode I talk down the difference between an actionable to-do list and the mile-long monster list that most of us have that leaves us overwhelmed and spinning our wheels.

I share how and why this monster list is sabotaging our productivity, and then I talk you through the steps that I take to (declutter and) turn that massive master-list into a manageable daily to-do list, what I call a smarter to-do list.

You also hear how our productivity type shapes our planning habits and can help (or hinder) with our follow-through.

Unfortunately that alone won't help you become more organized or create a supportive instead of sabotaging environment.

In this episode, I explore how tolerating situations we could change is actually a hidden form of clutter — mental and emotional clutter. I share a personal story about a time I was stuck in tolerating: why I stayed, what kept me stuck, and how I finally got out of it.

I also touch on the difference between tolerating and accepting — because when a situation can’t be changed, it’s not about tolerating anymore. That’s where we either resist and stay stuck, or we accept our powerlessness, let go, and make space for more peace.

This week’s episode is inspired by and aligned with the transformative energy of the Scorpio Full Moon.

You’ll hear how and why Scorpio’s energy is supportive

for digging deep, investigating our emotional blocks, embracing transformation, and aiming to let go of outdated fears or patterns.
What to reflect on during this Full Moon if you're feeling something needs to shift and also
What to beware of so you're not getting stuck in emotional intensity. Scorpio’ can bring deep emotions to the surface, that's why support can be beneficial

I’m also sharing that I realized it’s time for a new kind of episode here on the podcast: real, honest conversations — not just me talking or interviewing guest experts, but you and me, exploring your specific chaos and uncovering what’s really going on underneath.

This is my invitation for you to come on the podcast for a safe, supportive on-air conversation (anonymous if you wish) around your particular chaos, one pain point, and to receive my insights, support and coaching around it.

If the sting of Scorpio is nudging you to finally release something and take a step toward peace, this might be your sign from the Universe that you don’t have to do it alone but can bring your chaos to me:

You might think of clutter as just "stuff" lying around — but what if I tell you it's much more than that? In this episode, we’ll look at how mental and emotional clutter are connected to our actions and inactions and the results in our life and environment.

Using insights from psychology, I’ll show how a cluttered mind can lead to heavy, even debilitating feelings and how those feelings impact your actions (or inactions). Our actions and inactions determine what results we are having in our life and business but also impact our growth, self-respect and self-care.

This episode will leave you thinking differently about what “clearing clutter” really means and why it’s about so much more than just tyding up and getting organized.

After a conversation with a friend last week, I knew I needed to talk about this on the podcast. She asked how I was doing, and while I’m usually good at staying grounded, I admitted that the past week had been challenging. She then inquired what I meant by that—how it showed up for me and how I managed to shift out of it. That made me realize struggling to stay grounded might be something you are experiencing too.

So in this episode, I’m sharing my raw answer to her, along with insights on how I navigate uncertainty, release worry, and how we can set powerful intentions for peace—both within ourselves and in our daily lives, and the upcoming New Moon in Pisces is ideal for that.

Only when we intentionally create more peace in our own world can we create more peace in the world as a whole.

What if beating procrastination and taking action were actually easy?

In the book The Map of Consciousness the author Dr. David Hawkins says:
"Change and letting go of the familiar is easy, but we avoid it because it seems like effort to the ego. But It only seems like effort if we go at it the hard way of forcing ourselves, by using willpower."

He explains that not much effort is actually needed to overcome our aversion to change. Instead, he suggests that by simply paying attention, things can start to shift on their own.

In this episode I share with you my results from trying what Dr. David Hawkins suggests, whether I found it easy or not, and I offer some suggestions how you could try this out on your journey from chaos to peace in your home, office, files or finances - what if it were easy to get organized?

But also, you prepare yourself and your business for the worst case scenario that nobody wants to think about, what if you have an accident, or get seriously sick and can't run your business anymore for a while or maybe for ever?

The benefits of doing so - for example the increased value of your business - will bring you more peace while you're still running it.

Have you ever letting that all-or-nothing mindset sabotage your goals? I get candid about personal experience with the all or nothing trap, the traps of setting unrealistic standards, and why embracing self-compassion is critical.
I talk about that perfection is not the path to success and allowing ourselves the grace to be happy with a "B minus" is what actually gets us out of procrastination and brings us forward. Once we're moving we can start improving on what we have already which is how my saying "a few minutes a day keep the chaos away" came to be.

In the first part of the episode I talk about the reasons why a cluttered space feels so very heavy and how we are energetically connected with everything we own. Which then leads me to my guest Marilyn Penny.

Marilyn is a Soul Realignment Practitioner and a reader of the Akashic Records. She brings a unique blend of spiritual insight and pragmatic expertise to real estate as well as our personal well-being with a specialized focus on dissolving negative energetic blocks.

I have already as a teenager realized how our environment has an effect on us, how when we change the environment to the better we can feel better, we'll think clearer, and act with more clarity. So I was particularly excited to talk with Marilyn about her work that complements so beautifully with my work and mission.

Marilyn and I talk about:

how homes have a soul
that emotions can get locked in spaces
why a house can make us feel stuck or worse it can make us even sick
what are the Akashic Records
what happens during a Soul Realignment session
What recurring things she had to clear from properties and
what the benefits are of energetically clearing our space

It's so easy to focus on what is not right, what's not working, or what bothers us, on the mess and chaos that we forget to allow ourselves to honour and value what we do have and what does work.

With a Love tours we are showing appreciation and gratitude to the things we have and we show ourselves where we are succeeding, where we are organized, where it is working. As a result it's also a way of becoming aware how we can apply that knowledge to the chaos and the messy areas to transform them with these insights.

Today I go back to the basics and talk about what clutter is.

A messy house, an overflowing closet, a garage or basement filled to the brim, a messy office, a chaotic desk, an overflowing inbox, overdue bills, non-existent financial overview.... those are all examples of clutter, but there is so much more to it

I cover 4 categories of clutter and within these categories I talk about 6 different types of clutter that can occur in your life and business. Some are more obvious and others is more sneaky. We all have clutter in our life and business, the question is, are we dealing with it or avoiding it?

Together we dive into the world of clutter beyond the physical mess, tune in for transformative insights!

In this episode I first talk about the connection between clutter and grief and the various life events that can cause us to be grieving, since that is not only when we lose loved ones. Often these challenging times can lead to a buildup of belongings that serve as a shield against the pain of loss that we don't want to process.
That is also the reason why decluttering is often more than tidying up; it's an emotional confrontation but more importantly a step towards healing.

In the second part I talk with my special guest Melissa Harris and we unearth the emotional baggage of clutter tied to grief and life's transitions. Losing a loved one or going through a major life upheaval can leave us grappling with grief that society often tells us to quickly move past. Melissa shares her experiences with loss, reflecting on the limited time we're given by society to grieve and the profound need to create spaces where our emotions are valued and heard. Together we bring to light the importance of support systems, may it be therapy or a grief groups, hiring a grief coach or a clutter clearing coach, this kind of support is helping us process these emotions rather than letting them manifest in harmful ways (or clutter in your home)

In this episode I share a bit about my frustration with myself of only collecting ideas without organizing them, and more importantly without sharing them. How I almost went down a rabbit hole about how to organize my ideas and files in Evernote, on how to restructure my PKM system (personal knowledge management)

In the process of re-organizing my Evernote I found wisdom shared from my past self when I helped a client, a (recovering) perfectionist like me, to organize her office and workspace. It made it clear again, we can't think our way to perfection, to the perfect office, the perfect system, we can't know what that is until we start.

Don't just take it from me, hear what my client has to say, how resistant she was to this idea and how surprised she was by all the positive side effects.

Let's face it, we all have "hotspots" in our homes and offices that accumulate clutter faster than we can cope with. But it's not enough to have the goal to clear those hotspots or even to actually clear the clutter in these hotspots.

In this episode I discuss how these accumulations are not just a reflection of our surroundings but also a mirror of our personal habits and business processes.

Simply focusing on clearing our clutter isn't enough
- we need to address the habits and systems that led to that clutter in the first place
- we need to identify and manage them
- and then explore what small changes in our daily routines can lead to significant improvements in our environment.

I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Braith Bamkin – a true expert in leadership, marketing, and business development on this episode of From Chaos to Peace with Conny.

Get ready to laugh as Braith shares an unforgettable anecdote about his run-in with none other than Tina Turner. Then we get into some serious business talk as Braith and I dissect marketing strategies and the importance of having a clear vision, mission, and values. And guess what? Accountability is not a swear word! We explain why it's essential, along with a good strategy and the power of outsourcing.

Plus, we dives into the world of laughter yoga, which has profoundly improved a health condition Braith's been battling and that led him to becoming a certified breath work coach and how even our clothing choices can contribute to poor breathing habits.

You're in for a treat and don't want to miss this exhilarating conversation with Braith Bamkin, so tune in.

I am excited to bring you this conversation with fellow accountant Bob Wheeler. Bob has been on the cutting edge of finance for more than 25 years and is the author of two books, one of them is “The Money Nerve: Navigating the Emotions Of Money”

It's awesome to hear his perspective on money and emotional clutter, we talk about

why he became an accountant, because I would say most people don't grow up wanting to become an accountant, me included :-)
then we're talking about his personal experience with clutter and how it's connected to what he is doing now and
about his book and how our money nerve (how he calls it) affects our financial decision making.

This is how he calls it - money nerve - I call it the emotional clutter that interferes with our spending and our finances.

Yes there is such a thing as financial clutter and it's very connected to our physical, mental and emotional clutter. I want to talk about financial clutter for several reason,

one being I have some awesome guests coming up where we talk about financial cluter
but also because it's tax season and most people are so stressed out about their finances
plus in this economic climate I feel it's even more important that we address our financial clutter

there is a lot of shame around clutter and not understanding or not having control over ones finances. You might feel deeply alone and as if you were the only person struggling with clutter and finances.

And shame (I know that from my own experience) isolates us and I am here to tell you that you are not alone, and I am here to talk about that it's not true that you are the only one struggling and yes there are ways to address your clutter, the physical, digital, and the financial clutter.

We can do this, you can do this, start by listening to this episode.

A brand community is an awesome marketing strategy for businesses to drive sales, it's also great for the members (which are the consumers of that brand) as fans to connect with each other, share information and ideas, and show how they use the product. This in turn enhances their self-esteem, self-identity, and pride as research shows. Because sharing a product we all own contributes to a potent sense of belonging.

But there is a darker side to brand communities for us consumers that not many people talk about - if we are not aware, intentional and careful there is a danger of accumulating clutter and of overspending.

There is always an opportunity to go through and declutter regular decoration, but seasonal decoration like for example Easter Decorations, is a little special because you don’t have it displayed year-round in your house. When it’s packed away , chances are you will not pull out the boxes to go through it.

There are three good times to declutter seasonal decoration and I share what I do when I receive items as a gift or buy new things like I just did recently.

Today I want to share with you how I started my podcast and why that matters to you.

It turns out that everything we want to do, including you becoming clutter-free, starts with overcoming our fear and then taking some small, imperfect steps and, most importantly, realizing, that it's a journey and if we don't start the journey, we don't get anywhere.

Clutter is so much more than just the physical stuff. Our minds can be cluttered with old ideas and beliefs, and negative self-talk.

Mental and emotional clutter is often a new concept for people. Many don't realize that besides physical, paper, and digital clutter, there is also mental clutter and closely related emotional clutter.

Mental and emotional clutter is connected because what we think determines how we feel.

By understanding yourself better and why you are doing what you are doing, or most likely why you are not doing what you want to be doing, you can stop judging and beating yourself up and have compassion for yourself.

Your brain looks at decluttering (or achieving any other goal) as danger. In your brains point of view it's the opposite of seeking pleasure, avoiding pain and being efficient. But you don't use this as an excuse to do nothing and stay stuck, on the contrary!

This understanding will help you that you finally do what you say you want to do but from a place of compassion and self-love. You can rewire your brain so that you can achieve your decluttering (and other) goals.

The life you want is on the other side of all that mental clutter.

Life has become so fast paced and full of instant gratification (hello Amazon same day delivery) and sound bites like "3 simple steps to succeed in xyz without any effort" that we actually think this is how everything should work. And if it's not then it must not be the right solution.

Overnight, instant gratification and radical change is what we want but often can't handle. It can feel very uncomfortable for example to go from a house full of clutter to a clutter-free environment, to go from chaos to peace, over night, so here is how to create radical change instead.

A lot of times people cling to their stuff because letting go would make them feel sad, but what if that's not a bad thing?

In my opinion we can't avoid sadness so we better learn to live with it. Most people think we are either happy or sad, we either feel joy or grief, it's either a yes or a no. But Life isn't black or white, good or bad, positive or negative, happy or sad, life is always both.

Listen in to this short solo episode on why you don't want to avoid being sad by not letting go of your clutter and how feeling sad can also be good.

Have you set resolutions for the New Year, or Intentions, but you feel you are not yet ready to push ahead? I am not surprised, nature is still hibernating and in addition Mars and Mercury are both retrograde right now.

This energy calls for slowing down, for introspection, and for letting go and finishing up not starting new.

Living a life of self-love also means to listen to our body and the energies around us, not to try to force something on us just because the calendar says it's January 1st.

I talk in this episode how I do a 2-part Love Tour through 2022 and what actions (if any) I am taking in these first couple of weeks of 2023 that are aligned with the energy surrounding us right now.

Have you ever considered what the experience is for a blind person to visit your website or your brick-and-mortar business?

Is your business inclusive and accessible or are you telling a big part of the population that you don't care about about them, that they are not important, that you don't want their business?

My guest, Danielle Main, is a blind entrepreneur; dog trainer, disability advocate, rower & equestrian, and RMT (registered massage therapist). She is always pushing her limits, uses the hashtag #blindandbadass and in 2019 Danielle’s charitable work was recognized by L’Oréal with the Women of Worth Award.

Danielle was so brave and badass to also be on video, so you can not only listen to this episode but also watch us on Youtube!

Danielle and I talk about:

what it means to her to be #blindandbadass
the ridiculous things people do when they realize Danielle is blind
what to do or say instead and why consent is a big deal
how physical clutter could be dangerous for her
how blind people are navigating websites and social media
what happens when we don't put alt-text on our images when we post them on our website or on the social media
a really funny example where a website was missing a "period" a punctuation on their website and how their whole message unintentionally was different for blind people
the easiest solve for brick-and-mortar businesses to be inclusive and accessible
her Leash of Hope charity where they train and place service dogs to people with disabilities and how to recognize a service or guide dog and how to behave around it

The third category of clutter is anything unfinished and with 2022 coming to an end a good approach is to finish things up so we don't drag them into the new year.

Science came to the conclusion that we remember uncompleted goals and projects way better than completed ones. We all know that feeling of how something unfinished is eating away at us, how it's a heavy weight that is pulling us down or can keep us stuck. If we have a lot of unfinished projects not finishing something is no longer just a possibility when we start something new, it becomes our identity.

I share with you the tips and insights I had when reading Jon Acuff's book Finish and how it ties in with what I teach and help my clients with.

I'm talking with Ulrika Sullivan a former scientist turned intuitive spiritual life coach, yoga teacher, and energy healer.

This is a special conversation you will see, also a very deep one. In essence we are talking about how to let go of mental clutter. Ulrika wrote a book called "Widsom Beyond What You Know", and here is a quote from the book:

Instead of being driven by what I can tangibly accomplish, what others think of me, or what others say is the right way to succeed, my inner voice of guidance provides a steady flow of gentle nudges, inner calm, and self-love—all of it within an unbreakable invisible shield of protection around me.So here is what we are talking about:

how most of us are living a template instead of our authentic self
how we know when we act from the mind not from the heart
how we can recognize the signs that guide us to the next right thing to do
she shares with us a simple and easy practice we can do to get in touch with our intuition and our heart
what to do if you are scared to hear what your heart has to say
and how our heart, intuition and inner knowing will protect us if we let it

Ulrika says she was driven by the mind (where chaos often starts) but is now living from the heart and intuition (where peace starts). Can you imagine a better guest for this podcast that is called from chaos to peace?

I am an avid reader, always have been. I can spend the whole day sitting on the balcony, at my beautiful pond or snuggled up on the sofa and just read, read, read, for hours. I was like this already growing up.

So books play a big role in my life and yes I have a few physical books and last time I checked 276 eBooks on Kindle ... so the question comes up, do I think books can be clutter?

This is actually a rewind or replay of Episode 12 from April 2020, listen in to hear if I think books can be clutter, when books are clutter and how to decide which books to let go and which ones to keep.

I talk about the difference between organizing and clutter clearing, there is an overlap for sure but it's not the same. There are some differences between the two that are important and substantial.

Organizing is more like a band-aid, a short term fixes that have some value and can give you some peace but you're most likely doing all that hard work of organizing over and over just to find yourself back in the same situation a few short weeks later.

Clearing clutter on the other hand goes deep to the root cause of the issue and creates long lasting change and transformation. Organizing is mostly mental while clearing clutter can get emotional and your mind will try to fool you and give you all kinds of excuses why you can't make decisions and this is where the benefits of professional help come in.

Listen in as I explain the differences and then, if you are done with putting band aids on your situation and wasting your time, energy and money over and over on short-term fixes, if you are ready to make a lasting change, contact me, I can help. You can message me on Instagram @iamconnygraf or send me an email or we hop on a complimentary Clutter to Clarity Consultation

Cora is a certified Emotion Code Practitioner and finds it so so satisfying to help release the emotions that have been holding people back from so many things.

We talk about:

what is the Emotion Code and who developed it
How and when Cora's fascination with emotions started
Why we have stuck emotions and where they are coming from
Cora explains how an Emotion Code session works

and how it can also work with releasing money blocks which is very beneficial when we are in business for ourselves.

Since we recorded the interview I have read the book that Care is mentioning during the interview because I am a learning junkie and book worm. I really think the Emotion Code could help not just clearing your stuck emotions but also when you are clearing clutter in your home and office and struggle letting go of things but don't know why.

In the last episode I talked about how batching could lead to procrastination. Today I want to talk about something else that leads to procrastination and that is when we tolerate situations in our life and business.

Tolerating things we could change is also clutter.

We all do it and I share with you a story from last year, where I was tolerating a situation that was very frustrating, had cost me money and maybe even clients, until I finally change it.

In last week's episode called Stress Less, Do More Blaine was talking about single tasking, multi tasking and batch tasking.

This reminded me of a blog post that I wrote way back 7 years ago in August 2015 called "Are you batching or procrastinating" because there is a risk that instead of batching we start procrastinating.

So lets talk about it, lets define what batching is and we can end up procrastinating if we are not careful and intentional.

This is a rewind (or replay) of episode 4 because Principles Not Rules is another one of my core messages (besides Clearing Clutter is Self-Love) and very important concept of how I help my clients with clutter and therefore deserves a rewind.

I am a bit of a rebel and don't like more rules than necessary, that's why I came up with principles and I reduced it to the 3 core or key principles which actually makes your decluttering journey easier if you follow them.

Today I talk about a special kind of clutter: things you own, that you bought, that you really love, but that you don't use.

This is actually more common than you think, yes it has happeend to me too. Prof. Jonah Berger and Jacqueline Rifkin, did a study on this phenomenon called: How Nonconsumption Can Turn Ordinary Items into Perceived Treasures.Prof. Berger himself gives an example with shoes he owned, and here in the podcast I give you an example that happened with me just recently. What is interesting is, that this is not only relevant when we talk about clutter, but this is consumer behaviour that is also very relevant for business owners and marketers.

Clutter has so many negative effects on us, especially our health and in particular our stress levels. This is backed by science and several studies as you will hear in this episode.

Clearing the clutter is therefore really an act of self-care and self-love, and it is also a thoughtful and powerful approach of self-discovery and self-development.

This is actually a rewind (or replay or how ever you want to call it) of Episode 3. I had quite an increase in downloads of newer episodes over the past few weeks. Of course most people don't scroll all the way down and start at episode 1, but this is one of my most important messages and an important concept of my work and how I help my clients with clutter. That's why I felt the need to re-publish this episode.

Who do you tell yourself you are?

It’s one thing to say "I want to achieve the goal of being organized and intentional and in charge of my finances" but it’s something very different to say

"I’m the type of person who IS organized and IS in charge of my finances."

Staying in an identity conflict will keep you stuck or get you to take one step forward and then two steps back.

Bobby's emails have built a cult following because they're addictive and fun to read.

Meet Bobby Klinck, a Harvard Law Grad turned entrepreneur who built a thriving multiple six-figure business selling the most boring thing ever (legal templates) primarily through emails.

In our conversation we talk about his book but also about:

Why he left law to become an email marketing bada$$

the funny story on how he figured all this out
the misconception about what marketing actually is

Looking at financial clutter through the lens of clutter clearing, we realize, this is a difficult category of clutter. For starters, we can’t just ask ourselves the questions we would ask ourselves with physical clutter like "do I love it?" , "when did I use it last?" , "when will I use it next?”

Another roadblock is, a lot of people are so scared of finances but that's exactly the main reasons why they have all the financial clutter.

My guest is Solita Roberts, and her focus is to empower us to love and accept who we are, including our body, our personality, and our individual style and in turn accepting who other people are, including their body, personality and individual style.

What does it mean to have an inclusive workspace in relation to how we dress?
How our clothes are so much more than us buying some shirts and pants. It's all about how we want to express our authentic self and the story behind the clothes and how we dress
Why we are not taught how to dress our authentic self, but only how to dress to fit in and to blend in, especially as women and even more so as black women.
how and why we can get stuck if we don't let our wardrobe grow and change along as we grow and change

And at the end we talk about what mistakes especially us women can make when dressing and what it has to do with our personal brand and how we show up as business women.

I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I loved this conversation. If you find value in what Solita and I are talking about, please share it with your friends and business besties because if you find value in it, they will too.

I have compared weigh loss with clearing clutter before, also because in both situations most people are in a hurry and want quick change and fast results. They fall for crash diets but then ending up gaining the weight back, or they spent huge effort, energy and time to declutter an area just to helplessly watch the clutter creep back in.

Today I share with you one sentence that will help you solve both issues, the weight loss issue as well as the clutter issue. With that one thought, I lost 25 lbs and then I realized, that's also how I stay clutter free, and you can too.

Despite my best intentions and setting that goal for myself several times over a period of 5 years to publish a weekly blog post, I didn't manage to be consistent. I started on February 1st, 2015 with my first blog post, the second weeks later in March, then 3 in April but afterward none until August and it would go like this for 5 years. I just never managed to be consistent, I tried and failed over and over.

Then I started my podcast end of February 2020 and since then I consistently publish an episode a week (sometimes two), I haven't missed a week, so what's the big secret?
Listen in and hear what the secret is to my consistency.

Astrology helps you get to know yourself better, and when you know yourself better you know better what approach to take, what actions to take. You also have more compassion for yourself and realize why you were not successful with the approaches and actions you took in the past.

Listen in how I share with you how Astrology helps me helping my clients.

As (female) entrepreneurs we often struggle to create visibility on social media, build a personal brand and get featured in media outlets, or podcasts... in short, it seems hard to get visibility.

That's why today I have one of Australia's Top 10 Female Entrepreneurs and a Women to Watch, Jemimah Ashleigh as my guest and Jemimah is the founder of The Visibility Lab.

We are talking about why so many women are scared to be seen or are struggling to make themselves visible and how to change it, Jemimah gives some great tips throughout so we can start moving from chaos to peace and shine our authentic self while being seen.

There seems to be a steady stream of papers and files coming into our life and business. If we don’t have a system and a process in place to deal with these files we're feeding them to the File Monster.

On the other hand, when you invest some time and effort into setting up simple structures and an easy process you can tame the File Monster, which will free up so much of your time and energy and will put you in control. The file monster will gladly settle down, stop screaming and scaring you, and trying to overwhelm you. This is huge because you waste a lot of time , energy and even money fighting the monster instead of taming it.

When it comes to moving from chaos to peace in your business, taming your File Monster is the second leg, the first leg is setting up your workspace for success, I walked you through my frame work in episode 108 last weeks episode. The third leg of moving from chaos to peace are elegant finances which I will cover in an upcoming episode.

Part of having solid foundations and supportive structures in place is having a workspace that is setup for success.

When I work with my clients, whether it's in person or over Zoom, one thing I always notice is that their office and desk is quite the mess. Now I am not saying you need to strive for an Instagram worthy office space and desk - those photos are staged, nobody works like this.

But what I am saying is, your office and desk needs to be set up in a way that you can work effortlessly, that everything is in it's place, no searching required, you are set up for success.

Getting organized and clearing clutter is self-love, but it also needs self-love to get organized. I have Katie Allen as a guest, she has a podcast called Self-love ignited and coaches people, mainly women, around self-love and body image.

She shares with us her story from self-loathing to self-love and gives us very practical tips how to start our own journey to self-love. She's also unpacking the difference between saying "I love my body" and "I love how my body looks", such an important distinction.

With this episode I am here to tell you to not feel bad if you are not feeling full of spunk and mojo yet to start 2022.

Nature is still asleep, the dark is still longer than the light in a day, your body might be just mine still wanting to hibernate, that's our nature. Let your mind still contemplate and your hearts still being fuzzy and warm instead of brave and outgoing.

Now that doesn't mean we can't start 2022 strong.

A strong foundation will come in very handy when nature wakes up and we too feel the urge and energy to move ahead or even bolt ahead.

I take you through my end of year/beginning of new year intention setting process that helps me put the foundations in place , the plans, structures, systems, and automation that will support me in what I want to accomplish in 2022 and beyond.

Most people don't realize the significant role that their environment (home and work) plays in their life experiences.⁠⁣⁠⁣⁣

Your environment can either support you, or it can sabotage you and hold you back.⁠⁣⁠⁣⁣ How can you find out? One part is awareness, how do you feel, for example are you often frustrated or stressed because of your environment? So awareness is key, the other thing that can help you get unstuck and create a supportive environment is with the Bagua from Feng Shui. Linda explains in this episode how that works.

Lets talk about the clutter that comes up during the Holidays.

And as always I am not just talking about physical clutter but also mental, emotional and social clutter. I invited Linda Binns to chat with me because I love her perspective as a Feng Shui and energy expert.

the difference between active chaos and passive chaos
the 3 good times to declutter seasonal decorations
what to remember and be aware of when you are buying new decorations and ornaments

We are both not your typical bean counters and we want you to listen to Ean's story, the success of your business and life could depend on it.

Ean Price Murphy, is the founder of Moxie Bookkeeping, and she teaches successful entrepreneurs a dead-simple cash management system that works with their natural habits so they don't have to learn accounting to become profitable.

We talk about

how the school system and certain family dynamics keep us poor and the credit card companies rich
what her nightmare client looks like and how she prevents getting clients like this
how bookkeeping is the only place where perfection is achievable
how to simplify your business finances so you only have to look at two numbers to know if your business is ok, it's like a silverware drawer

I love her analogy with the silverware drawer and you will have to listen to the episode to know the story .

I want to thank you if you have been part of this wild ride of me having a podcast. If you are a loyal listener and especially if you have been so kind to leave a review on Apple Podcast or if you have given me feedback and suggestions. Thank you, thank you, thank you I appreciate you.

If you are new, a very warm welcome, I hope this episode inspries you, that you subscribe and also that you will listen to some of the previous episodes I suggest here. My hope and idea is , and always has been, that you listen to my podcast while you declutter and organize a small area in your home or business.

Evelien's passion and mission in life is to inspire her audience and clients to transform their life and feel their inner power of being and focus on what really matters. She published her book "Be Relentlessly Yourself" in both English as well as Dutch during the pandemic.

We talked about:

why some people are very successful but don't feel successful
how we can figure out whether or not we are living an authentic life
the advantages of being authentic in leadership even in the corporate world
how as an entrepreneurs we want to walk our own path and be unique because that's how we find inner peace
of course we also talk about Social Media and its influence on us, how we often compare ourselves to others or imitate what others do instead of showing up authenticall

We also talk about the resistance and push back we might experience when we start showing up authentically and why that is a good thing (don't miss this important point that Evelien makes here).

Libra Season is about relationships, partnerships, fairness, justice, balance and beauty and this week is also New Moon in Libra so it's the perfect time to identify and deal with your social clutter and setting some intentions for a more balanced social life and creating healthier relationships.

Now clearing social clutter can be tricky territory and I am of course not suggesting that you declutter your family and friends, but I do have some questions to ponder and some ideas explore like the Yes/No Framework, the Relationship Ratio by Dr. John Gottman, and my Love Tour.

If you would like help creating a supportive and stress-free environment in your office, files, and finances then I'd love you to schedule a complimentary 20-minute call and let’s talk how I can help you move from chaos to peace in all areas of your life and business.

Mercury went retrograde September 26 or 27, 2021 (depending on where you are in the world) and I cover what it means for you, your life and your business and what it has to do with your clutter.

We all have heard what sounds like you need to put your life on hold and stay in bed for 3 weeks while Mercury is retrograde, but of course that makes no sense. While there are some things that are more likely to go wrong or get delayed and you want to be aware of, there is a positive and supportive side to this that can help you make progress in life and business and your journey from chaos to peace.

So listen in when I touch on what not to do during these 3 weeks but mainly focus on what to do especially when it comes to clutter.

Whether or not you "believe" in Mercury retrograde or are someone who puts this all off as complete nonsense (which is totally fine with me) you could still listen in and then do what I am suggesting to do. My decluttering tips in this episode are helpful either way.

Today's episode is about emotinal clutter and my guest is Sheila VanZile.

Sheila wrote a book called "My Waterfall of Awakening - How loss can bring you home to the life you want". It is kind of an autobiography about the relationship she had with her love-withholding mother and how she explores forgiveness, trust, faith, self-love, grief, hope and much more after her mothers passing.

We talk about

how to make peace with people we have or had a challenging relationship with
how to let go of the mental and emotional clutter
so we can start living the life we want

If you have clutter in any area it's because of unmade decisions. The more you have a habit of not making a decision, to postpone a decision, to procrastinate, the more clutter you will have, either in physical form in your home or office, in your files and also in your finances.

Yes, not having healthy boundaries can lead to clutter in your life, for example:

physical clutter in form of gifts or inherited items that you don't love but feel obligated to receive or keep.
In form of mental clutter as limiting beliefs or beliefs that other people's wishes and feelings are more important than our own
in form of emotional clutter by not acknowledging but surpressing our own feelings, especially anger that we were told is not ok to show and emotional clutter in form of resentments towards other people
and of course also as social clutter, your calendar might be chuck full with things you do for other people that there is no room for the things that matter to you, or for your self-care

My guest today is Claire Nettley a Coach, Speaker, Teacher & the founder of Better Boundaries. She helps women to find their voice, develop inner strength and set boundaries. Listen all the way to the end to hear about Claire's own experiences with a lack of boundaries and what she suggests how you can start creating and honoring them in your every day life.

In this episode Jen and I are talking about the "other pandemic", the mental health challenges that came out of the social distancing and restrictions due to the Covid-19 virus.

You know Jen Robinson from episode 72 The Power of Community, she is both a life coach and business mindset coach. She is also the creative force behind the wellness brand Peaceful Living Wellness, her online magazine that helps thousands of readers every day to lead healthy, happy lives!

We both feel it’s very important that we talk about the mental health effects that most of us in various capacities are feeling especially since so much more emphasis is put on keeping us safe from the virus and seemingly no focus is on what that does with our mental health.

For Jen, who calls herself an extreme extrovert is has become a topic that is very dear to her heart. We talk about

what she as a former academic and trained researcher found out about the mental health pandemic
What to do and what not to do now that the world has opened up a bit again
Why it is not just important to address this but even a matter of life and death to deal with the
What you can do if you are struggling with challenging feelings all the way to anxiety and depression

The motivational triad explaines how our brain can keep us from decluttering or achieving any other goal. These are three principles: seek pleasure, avoid pain, and be efficient.

Animals and humans were all designed with these three principle motivations. These three motivations have made sure that we were properly nourished, that we procreated, and they have helped us minimize and even avoid threats to our survival. The are very important and do a lot of good for us, but in our modern world they can and do also keep us stuck.

Our brain looks at decluttering (or achieving any other goal) as danger, in your brains point of view it's the opposite of seeking pleasure, avoiding pain and beeing efficient. So I talk you through how you need to rewire your brain so that you can actually achieve your decluttering goals, because the life you want is on the other side of all that clutter.

Taking control of your brain is the only way to create what you want, and this is what I help my clients with as a clutter clearing coach. So if you too want help with this,

if you want to figure out how do I flip the script on this motivational triad and finally create a sanctuary in your home and a supportive environment in your office, files, and finances then I want you schedule a complimentary 20-minute call here and let’s talk on how I can help you move from chaos to peace in all areas of your life.

Intention setting is like planting a seed in the ground, we can't then ignore the seed, we have to water it and nurture it to become a seedling and eventually a plant.

It's the same with our goals that we want to achieve. We can't just set the intention at the best time (i.e. New Moon) and then forget about it. We have to nurture the intention on a regular basis so we can achieve what we want. In this episode I share with you, how one of my clients finally heard and understood what I say with "a few minutes a day keeps the chaos away" and how this client changed her life and calls it magic. And you also hear my insight that I had through this process with my client.

If you struggle with clutter in your home, office, files and finances, contact me, I can help, that's my superpower. You can book a complimentary 20-minute call here, or if you are very scared you can always start very low key with some simple accountability. I have you covered with the From Chaos to Peace Accountability Program.

We talk about

sound in the evolution of humans

A lot of people roll their eyes or their face falls asleep when they hear the word metrics. In their eyes it's a dreaded and boring task that they don't want to do.

But as business owners we have to track and understand our metrics and my guest Carolyn O'Brien found a way to take it from dread to fun for her clients. Yes fun!

Since finance metrics are some of the most important metrics a business owner needs to track right from the start, and finances is one of my specialty, I really wanted to have this conversation.

I wanted to help you see how you too can move from Chaos to Peace with metrics. Carolyn and I talk about

what exactly are metrics
why do we need to track and understand them
how visualizing metrics makes people more comfortable looking at them and takes the negative feelings out of tracking them
how metrics help you find more clarity in your business and make decisions easier

The most popular episode on my podcast so far is episode 26 "Too many clothes but nothing to wear" and from experience as a decluttering coach I know that many people struggle with overful closets.

The average person only wears about 20% of the clothing in his or her closets, most clothing is not worn because it's the result of an impulse buy, doesn't fit correctly, or we don't like the colour. Sometimes we've forgotten we even have the item because the closet is so full we can't see what we have. At the same time most people I know struggle with letting go of clothes.

So in this episode my guest Olesya Lane is talking about another option on what to do with these clothes we are not wearing. Instead of giving them to charity, we can upcycle them and by doing so we are helping the environment, we save money, and to top it off it's good for our mental and emotional health.

We've also recorded this converstation as a video so you can see the items that she upcycled and shows while we are talking.

First Olesya tells us a little bit about the history of upcycling clothes
then she explains the difference between recycling and upcycling
we are talking about the benefits of upcycling and those are of course environmental, but not only what you think. Listen in for example what she says how much water is needed to make a pair of jeans, it's mind boggling.
Another benefit is that you can repurpose pieces of clothing that have a lot of meaning for you, like from your child when it was a toddler or from a loved one who passed.

We are talking about Feng Shui and how it can help us in our home and office. I am very excited to welcome Betty Wang, the Feng Shui Canary as a guest.

Betty says her specialty in classical Feng Shui will guide you to achieve the optimal balance for your environment and help you realize your goals. Her mission is to debunk a lot of the Western interpretations of what Feng Shui is and the quick fixes. She wants to educate what real Feng Shui is and how it can help us in the long run.

We start with Betty explaining why the house number 4 is inauspicious in Chinese and why the numbers 6 and 8 are not but also why she is not paying attention to this when working with clients here in the Western world.

Then we talk about

what the difference is between permanent, annual and monthly energy
why she doesn't like the quick fix use of cures and trinkets as remedies
what kind of clutter is ok to have and what clutter needs to be addressed before calling in a Feng Shui consultant
and last but not least whether we have to believe in Feng Shui for it to work or not

Mark Morton is a Certified Transformation and Wellness Coach, Motivational Speaker, Educator, and Mentor and trust me, just by listening to him you will feel already more motivated.

Mark has an amazing story of overcoming limited beliefs, stinking thinking, and self doubt to then stepping into starting a coaching business, losing 65 lbs, and running his first 5k in record time for a new runner after believing he couldn't run even a block.

Listen in how he went through a holistic transformation. We talk about:

How you need to have awareness first, then figure out who you want to be, before you can change what you do
how he was on a weight roller coaster and through coaching realized that he invested a lot of energy in losing the weight but no energy in keeping it off
how the Couch to 5K (C25K) app helped him not only keep the weight off but also smash his limiting belief that he couldn't even run one block
We also talk about how we can use the principles of this running app in other areas of our life, how we don't try to reach the goal in one session but we build up to it.
how you can deal with your fear of change
why everyone needs either a counselor or a coach

My guest is Sahara Leigh and we are talking about how we can balance our life with the help of Ayurveda.

Sahara says that she can very quickly assess someone's mental and emotional state when she's walking into their house.

We are also talking about

how she realized that she could use everything around her to bring herself back into harmony and back to herself, how she could use every failure to free herself!
how we are taught what is right or wrong, what is correct and false, but we are not taught resilience and how to get up and try again when we don't get it quite right the first time
what traveling taught her and what things, thoughts and emotions to let go off, since we can only carry with us so much
and how the knowledge of Ayurveda can help you smooth out the friction of life

I am very excited to welcome John Sovec back to the podcast to celebrate Pride Month with all of us. I coulnd't have had a better guest.

This is an important episode, I want to become a better ally and help with awareness so others can become better allies too. If you find value in what John and I are talking about, please share it with your family and friends. Because if you find value in it, they will too ❤️

John is therapist, coach and counselor and also a nationally recognized expert on the coming out process for LGBT teens. He works with both teens and their families to ease the experience and open up channels for communication and understanding. So who better to have on to learn how we can move from chaos to peace to becoming better allys to the LGBTQ+ community around us.

We talk about

what Pride Month means to John personally
the June 1969 riots at New York City's Stonewall Inn where Pride Month started
How we non-queer people can be a better ally
John gives us words that we can say to take a stand for our LGBTQ friends and neighbours

Also don't miss the little side-note John brought up around 31 minutes in about what it actually means when someone tells you they are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer.

I am talking with Bev Feldman from Your Personal Tech Fairy", Bev helps people with the tech part of setting up their email marketing sequences, but she didn't start out that way. Bev used to make Jewelry, then later taught others how to make Jewelry and by growing her business she got more and more interested in email marketing and the tech side of it.

While some people might not see the connection, I can totally see how you can move from creating Jewelry to setting up email marketing sequences, which I call in our conversation "Email Jewelry".

After discussing the tech parts and also a bit on the anti-spam laws (even though we are both not lawyers), we pivot to her other passion, the Bev Goes Green blog, where she shows people how to become more environmentally friendly in small steps and without changing their entire life. I love that approach as you can imagine, it's like 'a few minutes a day...' to become more eco friendly and in my eyes, the side-effect is usually that you accumulate less clutter.

Today I am talking with Shannon Takacs about grief. What is grief?

Grief is the emotion that comes from loss, grief is deep sorrow. We can experience grief through death of a loved one, but also death of a pet, or the loss of an identity, for example when we retire, or when we get a divorce.

In our culture the full expression of death, loss and grief is often denied, most people don't know how to deal with it, or how to help someone that is grieving. But denying grief will never work. Shannon says. "Avoiding grief is like playing whack-a-mole. Every time you try and push it down, it pops up in a different location".

She also says, one way to normalize grief is to speak about it, and that's what we are doing in this episode. We also talk about how Astrology helps her in her work as a death doula and also how a chart reading can help her grieving clients with compassion & empathy for themselves and others as well as how it has become a surprisingly beautiful tool in reframing their challenging storylines.

I'm so happy to welcome Jen Robinson to the show, Jen and I connected in a Facebook group for podcasters and now I am a contributor for her online magazine Peaceful Living Wellness and she is a guest on my podcast. That's the power of Communities right here.

Jen experienced the power of community when she was part of an all women's co-working space in San Diego, California a few years back. Then she and her family decided to move to Charleston, South Carolina and all of a sudden Jen found herself at home, alone in her office, she couldn't find a co-working space, she couldn’t find the community she was used to and decided to create it for herself.

We talk about

how important community is for stress-management and
whether we can get as much from online communities compared to in-person communities.
how some people move from stress to anxiety to burnout and what burnout really is
and how for other people, burnout can manifest without the depression and anxiety, it can be more a state of severe boredom which is very different, but still burnout.
and how Jen says it's important to focus on prevention, before we slide all the way down.

Listen in on this great conversation with Jen where we also cover how to get over mindset blocks, how to find your way out of anxiety and depression, and how we can spot within our community when someone is about to slide into a burnout.

I am talking with Dr. Lara May about gut health and you might be wondering what that has to do with decluttering.

Well first of all, we will hear what foods she suggests we declutter out of our diet in order to have a healthy gut. Also, Science has made big discoveries that the gut is actually way more connected to our brain than they originally thought.

The health of your gut has a big impact on your overall well-being. And as we have discussed before, a cluttered environment can lead to stress, and stress can lead to bad eating habits and vice-versa.

I say Decluttering is Self-love and making sure we put the right nutrition into our body and declutter / detox / let go of the foods that make us sick is also self-love.

Dr. Lara's passion has grown from “band-aid medicine” (how she calls it) into empowering women to truly heal themselves on the physical, mental & spiritual levels.

Celia is a Family Empowerment Coach and the Founder of Pumped Up Parenting and Funfit® Family Fitness. She is here to tell us how to stop yelling at our kids and start creating calm within our family. And her simple reason is, because

we are raising adults, not children!

And Celia knows what she's talking about, she is the Mom of 5 kids (now all in their 30’s); 2 she gave birth to & 3 she gained from marriage; as well as a Grandma of 9 and she has been successfully parenting a blended family for over 25 years.

Celia is on a mission to stop 1,000,000 parents from yelling at their kids, and she also says it all starts with us and the way we are parenting and understanding our child and the intention that this is going to change from now on.

We talk about

What we do now will affect generations to come
How every benefit a child needs to grow, can be gained through play and
Why laughter is the best medicine

Even if you don't have children of your own, this is an important conversation to listen in and then to share with your family and friends, so we can help Celia on her mission to stop parents from yelling at their kids.

This was a Facebook Live that Linda and I did on March 5, 2021 and I wanted to share it here on the podcast because it's a great conversation.

We invite you to our next webinar April 7 or April 8, 2021 when we'll share details of that program with you and teaching you what you need to know for ⁣⁣
⁣⁣- freeing up your energy, ⁣⁣

I am talking with Tracy Lynn Morgan, Tracy is using her 14+ years of process improvement and productivity expertise in the corporate world, to now help mom entrepreneurs scale-up their biz while scaling-back their hours.

How? Well you guessed right, with systems.

She helps them streamline their biz systems and level up their productivity so they can finally step into the freedom lifestyle they deserve... and always have time for the things that matter most, Tracy adds.

Now in my eyes, this is not just for mom entrepreneurs, this is for anyone who has a business and feels like they don't have time for the things that matter most. A lot has to do with not having systems and processes in place and working from a place of "putting out fires" left and right all day long.

In the conversation Tracy reminded me of the quote

We're back to the topic of perfectionism. This time I welcome Jen Anderson to share her story, because Jen says she has improved her mental and physical health by letting go of perfectionism.

As a result she started the Accomplist community to help other people do the same and is now in the process of designing a to-do app called Accomplist.app. The big thing she's doing with her app is, she's getting rid of the Overdue status and is adding a Skipped status. The goal is to help perfectionists stop beating themselves up over not getting everything done. She has a pilot program with beta testers to see if it actually achieves exactly that.

Status March 2021 Jen is still looking for more testers that would use this test app for a month or two and are willing to fill out surveys about their perfectionism. If you are interested and want to help Jen by being a beta tester, let me know or contact Jen directly and she'll get you set up.

While grief is normal and natural, and probably the most powerful of all emotions, it is also the most misunderstood experience, misunderstaood often by everyone involved, the person who's grieving and everyone around that person.

We don't learn it anywhere, we learn all kinds of stuff in school, even what has happened 500 or 1000 years ago but we don't learn how to deal with something so normal and common as grief. And chances are, that your parents didn't know how to handle and move through grief so they couldn't teach you either.

We all are taught how to acquire things, but not what to do when we lose something or someone. That's why I have invited Jennifer Waugh to the podcast, an Advanced Certified Grief Recovery Specialist.

Jen's calling is helping women work through the pain, isolation and loneliness caused by a painful loss of any kind. Jen knows the pain of grief first hand from losing her husband to a sudden heart attack back in 2012.

We are talking about

myths around grief,
what grieving people actually do want and need,
as well as how to help children through grief.

Helping with grief is not wanting to fix it for other people but just to be with someone through these intense emotions ~Jennifer Waugh

Today we are talking about a topic that many - or shall I say most? - people want to avoid but really nobody can.... death. But this is such an important topic, because death is really about life.

When we get comfortable with death we live in a way that really speaks to our hearts a lot more fully than it would otherwise.

Becoming comfortable with our own mortality calls us to live and love a little more fully and a little more authentically. Opposed to being on our deathbed and then saying: "Oh, I wish I had.... I should have done ...... why didn't I?"

I have invited Karen Hendrickson to the podcast. Karen is a Death Doula, a Coach & Educator and the Co-Founder of The Death Doula Network of BC. She is passionate about leading heart-centered death education to support us in exploring and accepting our mortality.

We are talking about what a death doula really is, how death planning can prevent a lot of grief, additional heart ache, emotional clutter as well as legal issues. Because no preparation creates a lot of extra burden and emotion for the people that are left behind that comes on top of and along with the grief that these people are going to carry anyways.

We both talk of personal experiences with death and our message really is:
Why don't we begin to look at death planning from the perspective of coming from a place of love, and as a gift to those we leave behind. It is as well as a gift to ourselves, versus something to be feared.

Just the other day I was talking with someone who wants to start a blog and she was asking me how I did it and how I started this podcast. She felt it was impossible for her while she admires me for doing what I was doing.

What I told her is that she might have to take baby steps and also do it her way. Anyone can do it, as long as they move forward, no matter how slow.

So I decided to tell you about my struggles of how this podcast came about, You might not have the same limiting beliefs as I had, and have, you might not want to start a podcast, but maybe a blog, or a youtube channel or someting completely different and it's something scary, or something that seems scary to you.

I am hoping you get inspired to tackle your limiting beliefs when listening to my struggle, and you too start to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone and start moving towards what you want to do.

And here is the thing, if you struggle with clutter in your home, office, files and finances, contact me, I can help, that's my superpower. You can book a complimentary 20-minute call here, or if you are very scared you can always start very low key with some simple accountability. I have you covered with the From Chaos to Peace Accountability Program.

I am very excited to welcome Alex Ray to the podcast, Alex is a bravery coach.

If you listen to my podcast for a while you know that my word for the year 2020 was courage, or to be courageous. So of course I had to ask Alex how he defines bravery and what he feels is the difference to courage.

We explore how oftentimes it takes getting really annoyed and so sick of a certain result to finally realize anything is better than repeating this over and over again. That's when you need to become brave, face insecurity by doing one brave thing at a time, which creates confidence.

Alex shares the different steps to bravery and also when he himself did the first time something that he considered very brave. We also talk about the difference between being really honest and authentic aka brave, and being fake-authentic which is not being brave.

We cover some very deep territory here, some of it might not be for the faint of heart, so be brave and listen, take small actions to becoming brave.

I am very excited to welcome Felicia Sanders to the show and talk mental & emotional clutter.
Felicia wrote two children's books, one is called The Sunflower where she asks: Have you ever wondered what would a sunflower do when the sun is hiding? The other one is called Gustave's Adventures and Gustave is a seal. Both stories are for children and adults alike, on how when we listen to our intuition and not the people around us, if we dare to follow our dreams how we can break through and declutter limiting beliefs.

They are also books to talk about feelings instead of burying them - which creates emotional clutter - and about having real conversations.

We talk about

how we forget sometimes to ask our kids how they're doing. Not just asking "oh, how was you day and then move on to the next topic" but truly ask them how they are doing.
Sometimes life is about learning to turn away from what we are supposed to do and let life surprise us
how we don't want to crush that little voice that says "I'm possible, my dreams matter, I matter."
that emotions are actually a gift, they are our inner GPS. When we're in alignment with our higher purpose, we feel happy.

Felicia says, her book "Gustave's adventures" is actually a semi-biography of her life. Gustave dreamed of leaving Alaska for Hawaii because a Puffin came back from Hawaii and told Gustave about it and a seed was planted. Well Felicia did go from Alaska to Hawaii, but she left her home when she was 14 because she had a dream.

So listen in to this inspiring story about how to let go of mental clutter and do what your heart wants to do.

I talk with my guest Eunice Martel about how the fires south of the border in Washington, Oregon and California had forced her to take a break in her marathon training because the air quality was so bad.

At first she didn't want to take a break and was worried for her big goal, but then she realized it was actually very beneficial. Her message is, don't be afraid to take a break.

We are now in the week in between the years, Christmas is behind us and the New Year is ahead of us, lets all slow down and take a pause, because taking a pause is the best thing you can do to speed up in 2021.

If you find value in this conversation with Eunice please share the episode with your friends or family members, because if you find value in it, they will too.

Do we really need 8 choices of baked beans? To understand this question you have to listen to the episode.

I am welcoming Chrissy Tasker to share her story. Chrissy is originally from Singapore where she and her husband owned a business. They worked 11 hours a day and often she didn't even see her children because they were in bed already. A health issue woke her up and when one of her sons had problems in school she knew it was time to act.

Listen in how she and her family simplified their life, are living in the UK now and are much happier. She says:

You need to simplify life to find your purpose. ~Chrissy Tasker

We talk about how in Asia the focus is a lot on academics and how being content is looked as being a loser. All while a lot of the awareness and mindfulness practices we know originate in Asia - what a contradiction.

If you find value in this conversation with Chrissy please share the episode with your friends or family members, because if you find value in it, they will too.

I am very excited to share my conversation with Jordan Stolch from Mikado Personal Styling with you today. Jordan is an Image Strategy Expert and helps people transform the way they show up in the world.

She studied the connection between confidence, self-perception, and impression, and as a result has taught over 1000 men and women how to leverage a confident, put-together image, in order to open up abundant opportunities in both their personal and professional lives.

We are talking about:

The difference between her work as a Image Strategy expert and a Styling expert
How her service has to do with the question: who I am on the inside and how do I represent that on the outside.
How she helps people finding a way to elevate what they've been currently doing to get them to a place that they really feel like they're representing themselves on the outside, through using clothing.
Whether there is a difference when it comes to men compared to women around self image and clothes.

When you can find peace on one side, you find peace on the other. It's like a mirror image of each other. ~Jordan Stolch

If you find value in this conversation with Jordan please share the episode with one or two of your friends or family members, because if you find value in it, they will too.

I am very excited to welcome Cynthia D'Amour to the show today. Her last name D'Amour literally means 'of Love' so she is in the perfect field because she is helping successful women find love - without dimming their light or settling down.

Cynthia’s magic strategy across all her work is to get people to put a stake in the ground for their happiness and choose their best life, both professionally and personally. She has coached tens of thousands of leaders - and spent the last 20 years keynoting at leadership conferences, but today we are talking about leadership in a different way, we are talking about dating, delicious dating as Cynthia calls it.

Yes you heard that right, we talk about dating but see in my eyes it's not only or not necessarily about dating, it's about letting go of, declutter, old beliefs, limiting beliefs, outdated beliefs. It's about getting clear and authentic which is sometimes hard to do.

There is a reason why I talk with most of my guests about mental clutter, mental clutter is the hardest clutter to deal with and to get rid of, it needs a lot of work, way more work and is much harder than decluttering your home from physical items

But don't worry, there is a lot of laughter involved, Cynthia is very delightful, delicious and funny. We mainly talk about the outdated dating rules that we grew up with and that are still lingering around. But then again, it's not just dating rules, it's in general how we show up in relationships and at work.

If you find value in this conversation with Cynthia please share the episode with one or two of your friends or family members, because if you find value in it, they will too.

We continue with the theme that started last week about happiness and releasing mental clutter like limiting beliefs, but this time we come to it from a different angle.

The other day my meditation app Headspace sent me this inspirational quote:

When we appreciate that all emotions are transient
it becomes easier to observe them without bias.

That's basically the topic of today's episode and I have Tara Brown as my guest. Tara is the founder of Living A Happier Life. This is an organization dedicated to help people transform from living with depression into living happier lives.

Tara had been depressed herself and she had hit rock bottom, listen in and hear how she turned her life around. It's basically taking better care what we think and to process our emotions instead of pushing them down like so many of of us do, or how we learned that it's not appropriate to show our emotions.

Tara says: We're raised with a hardness mentality, that you can't put yourself first, that you have to put others first. that you have to take care of the world, and that you have to give to give, give, give. We've never learned how to love ourselves because we were taught that if we did that, that this was your weakness, or it was bragging.

After Tara hit rock bottom, she spent years on her self development journey which then led her to create the program The Five Foundational Elements of Self Growth. The five elements are, Gratitude, Loving Yourself, Healthy Boundaries, Forgiveness, and releasing limiting beliefs.

As you know I say decluttering is self-love, I also talk about that we need boundaries to keep the clutter out, we do a love tour in our home before we start decluttering to see what we love and we are grateful for what we have. Last but not least, it's all about releasing limiting beliefs, clutter often stems from limiting beliefs, from scarcity that we will not have enough in the future if we don't hang on to everything we have in the present.

That's my angle to it all, in this episode we hear Tara's inspriring story, her angle, and how she can help all of us to live a happier life.

Today we are talking about how happiness is a form of courage, especially for women, and maybe specifically for working moms.

What does that have to do with decluttering? Well as my guest Kristi says, when you want to be a working mom you basically sign up for two full time jobs. And that just means that there are certain things that you have to let go. Certain beliefs, but also certain things that you wanted to do, or certain wishes or goals you have or had. This is also decluttering, just in a bigger sense, it's decluttering your life to make room for your big dreams.

I have Kristi Andrus as a guest on the show today. Kristi is a happiness and success coach for women, she helps moms find the sweet spot at the intersection of life, business, and motherhood.

We talk about how to achieve happiness, which is what we all want, right? We all want to be happy. But as Kristi says, happiness is not a destination, it's a way of living. It is about being really observant as we go through life. When we make choices we need to ask ourselves: do the choices feel good?

Listen in how a good choise feels and how a bad choice feels and what else helps us to become happy, whether we are a woman entrepreneur or a mom-preneur, a working mom.

Happiness is a form of courage, because one of the challenges of happiness is you really have to prioritize your needs first. Are you intrigued?

Kristi Andrus
is a happiness and success coach for women. She helps moms find the sweet spot at the intersection of life, business, and motherhood.

A former media executive at HBO, Kristi managed a billion-dollar account with three children under three years old, so she appreciates the complexity of balancing competing priorities, being ambitious, and loving mom life too.

Less is more in business and life, I am sure you have heard that phrase. Often we get hung up on how much is less and how much is too much. I would say from my own experience, yes there might be some concepts and even rules around how much is enough or too much, but in the end it's you that decide what is enough and what is too much, nobody can decide that for you.

Today's guest, Diana Olynick is an engineer and business strategist that is helping business owners make their business more efficient so they can make more money and have more profit. We talk about how she learned as an engineer about the lean approach or Kaizen approach and how she is using this methodology now to help her clients to streamline their business. She calls this a minimalist business.

But we are not only talking about business, Diana is also the mom to a 7 year old and a 3 year old and we talk about how she uses the same approach at home with her children and their toys. She says kids are very smart and understand when we explain it to them, and that we need to involve them into the decision process. It is important to Diana and her husband, what values they are teaching their children, and that more stuff doesn't mean we are happier.

As a little side-note, in 28 - What to do with other people's clutter I talk about some ways on how to declutter toys and the things from our children.

Back to Diana, she says whether in business or life, I firmly believe that simplicity is the only secret to achieving your goals, so check out this conversation.

Diana Olynick
is a business strategist, minimalist at heart, helping women to streamline their businesses & life for more freedom and purpose.

Today we are talking about clothes again. My absolute most downloaded episode is #26 Too many clothes and nothing to wear. If you haven't listened to that one yet, go do that after this episode.

I am very excited to welcome Scarlett de Bease to the show. She is a personal wardrobe stylist and helps us stop stressing about dressing and take away the wardrobe shame.

Right of the bat we had such an awesome conversation I completely forgot to ask her to introduce herself and tell us who she is like I usually do. So you will see, we jump right in without a proper beginning...

We are talking about

the shame a lot of women have about their closet but not only because the closet is messy or stuffed
Why so many of us have trouble putting new outfits together from what we have in our closet
How we can make a whole bunch of outfits with far fewer clothes than most of us have right now in our closet.
How to quickly know if a certain colour suits you or not
How women think that they have to be uncomfortable to look good, and that is absolutely not true.

If you find value in this conversation with Scarlett please share the episode with one or two of your friends or family members, because if you find value in it, they will too, especially if they struggle with an overfull closet and what to wear.

Scarlett de Bease
is a personal wardrobe stylist who works with women who are sick & tired of not knowing what to wear or buy to fit the bodies and lives that they have now. She shows them how to stop stressing about dressing and always know what to wear with fewer clothes but with many more outfits.

So this is another bonus episode, as you know usually I release a new episode every Monday but in September already I published an extra episode on the last day of the month, and I am doing the same this month (you have to listen to the episode to learn why).

But if you think now this episode has anything to do with Halloween you are wrong. Instead, as we are heading into winter here on the north half of earth and possibly into a second wave of the corona pandemic we all can use help with improving our mindset.

That's why I have Paul Forchione on the show today. Paul is a Mindset Coach, he was born with cerebral palsy and we talk about how he learned to walk at the age of 3 even though the doctors had told his mother that he would never walk and spend his life in a wheelchair.

We also talk about how he was able to overcome the bullying and teasing in school and eventually got the bullies to start rooting for him. Paul is able to live a very active life and he shares his struggles that he went through now as a Mindset Coach in order help his clients with their personal struggles.

I've had a lot of guests on my podcast lately that on first sight have nothing to do with decluttering. But in my world, as I talked about it in Episode 2 "What is Clutter", there is so much more to clutter than most people think.

Limiting Beliefs, for example, and negative self-talk are a form of clutter, it's mental clutter. We all have this kind of clutter, I am no exception, let me tell you :-) Especially limiting beliefs can keep us stuck, because we don't take action on our dreams and goals while life passes by.

So this week my guest is Jessica Coulthard. Jessica is a Tony Robbins trained strategic intervention coach and podcast host and her mission is to inspire people to leap. And with leaping she means taking a courageous jump into something new.

You will hear me talking about my limiting beliefs starting this podcast and how I was procrastinating for 2 years and finally took the leap at the beginning of this year. Jessica calls herself a leaper, she is taking action quick, she says you have to act fast so your brain can't talk you out of it.

If you want to achieve your goals and overcome your limiting beliefs, listen in and get inspired to become a leaper.

If you find value in this conversation with Jessica please share the episode with your family and friends because if you find value in it, they will too. Sharing is caring ❤️

You might wonder, what does forgiveness have to do with clutter or decluttering. Well turns out a lot but that's not the only topic we are discussing. Julie has extensive Neuro-Strategic training and learned from her research that a majority of our actions are automated and that becoming aware and changing these is key to transforming lives for the better.

Habits play a big part in dealing with clutter and keeping it from creeping back in, as we saw on previous episodes. Forgiveness comes in where Julie says, not forgiving someone or oneself is actually cluttering up our brain.

If you find value in this conversation with Julie please share the episode with your family and friends because if you find value in it, they will too. Sharing is caring ❤️

I am very excited to welcome Suzanne Carpenter to the show today. Suz, how her friends call her, is a Certified Nutritional Consultant but most of all she is a lot of fun. We had a great conversation around clearing up food confusion.

Years ago Suz suffered from an eating disorder but then was asked a very pivotal question that started to change everything for her, she was finally willing to do something about it.

I said it a few times on this podcast already that everything in your outer environment is a reflection of something that's inside of you! This is because there is an energetic connection between you and your belongings.

So if your clothes are in chaos, parts of you are in chaos too and what often goes with it is that you don’t feel good about yourself and you are stressed already first thing in the morning when you get dressed.

Clothing is a huge source of clutter in a bedroom, and often the emotional attachments to some of the clothes can derail you from trying to declutter. But there would be a lot of advantages to declutter your closet, so listen, I share my tips on how to declutter your clothes and also tips on how to keep the clutter out of your closet.

You can get all the tips I am sharing in a handy-dandy pdf that you can download here. <<<

Today I welcome Jill to the podcast to talk about her approach of decluttering the to-do list.

In last weeks episode 23) Social Clutter and full calendars I already shared my tips on how to create a schedule and calendar that is aligned with your priorities and creates a life that you enjoy.

This week we learn how Jill helps her clients. She is a life coach for artists and musicians and as a musician herself, she is passionate about getting more art out into the world. That's why Jill helps fellow artists, creatives and musicians with decluttering their to-do lists.

So if you struggle with an overfull calendar and a too long to-do list tune in. Jill says:

If you have all the time in the world you will fill it with something. but if you don't decide ahead of time what you're going to fill it with, it ends up being a lot of just buffering things, like scrolling Social Media
The process of decluttering your to do list is simply a matter of deciding what you're going to do, and at the same time accepting that you're not going to do all of it.

If you find value in this conversation with Jill please share this episode with your family and friends because if you find value in it, they will too.

Today I want to talk about social clutter and add that to the mental clutter, and how we have as a result of those two an over-full calendar and endless to-do lists.

The three areas thoughts, time and people work together and a shift in one area will create a shift in the others.

But be aware this category of clutter will take us into tender and possibly difficult territory, but bear with me, of course I am not suggesting that you don't honour your word or that you declutter your family and friends.

But when you try to make everyone happy, you can end up being unhappy yourself.

One thing Marina, The Trader Chick, always says, “Day Trading has been the greatest Master Teacher of my life.” That’s because to her Day Trading is more than just a profession. It is a spiritual journey she never thought she would stumble upon. It’s a lifestyle of humility, appreciation and deep awareness.

Marina started her trading journey on her 40th birthday. She jumped in with both feet trading the Futures Market. The journey has NOT been easy and after a breakdown following losing her entire account in a matter of minutes, she had a massive breakthrough (not the common one that most traders experience).

If someone told Marina that Day Trading would be how she found spirituality she would have laughed. Spirituality had always been the furthest thing from her mind (and belief system), but forced to embrace the moment, she realized this could only be done successfully through meditation and mindfulness. The journey has been truly eye opening and life changing.

Today, she stands out in her industry amongst the guru’s as one who embraces the spirituality of Day Trading and works hard to help others start transforming their lives one trade at a time!

Transforming lives one trade at a time!

There is so much heartbreaking stuff going on in the world right now, it has thrown me off and affected me emotionally, maybe it's the same for you.

You might think that it's trivial to talk about and deal with clutter, but I don't think so. As I said before on this podcast, clutter stresses us out and therefore decluttering is self-love and is self-care.

If all the events going on out in the world stress you out, and your home is a mess that stresses you out too you have nowhere to relax and rejuvenate, you are stressed all the time. And I know for myself, if I am all stressed out I am not able to help, I am not able to be fully present.

So listen in to my thoughts about decluttering in unsettling times, how it is a good thing sometimes when it's not easy and we have to step up and take responsibility. If we want to be a better steward of this earth and our environment, if we want to help reduce waste, it has to start with us and we have to be more mindful, not just talk but also take action.

Today I am talking with Julie Johnson and she sent me a huge long list with all of her accomplishments but the reason I am very excited to welcome Julie to the podcast is she spent a year without spending any money.

Listen in on how she solved not spending money

without feeling deprived
without feeling her daughter is missing out on things
how creative she became to have her needs met and
and how she overcame her scarcity mindset

She shares some truth bombs about how we are looking for security in money and things and how she learned to question her motivations to want to buy things.

Meet my guest today Dr. Lydia de Leòn, a Greek Architect and Wellness Coach. She also holds a Ph.D in Physiology. She is the creator of Healing Architecture and co-founder of Geophilia Institute.

We discuss how science and spirituality are merging, and how we have the science to connect architectural design with health and wellbeing. Geophilia is the science of improving the coherence of your internal and external space. The missing link between internal and external space is a fractal space.

What you discover in this episode:

how to create a space that is the most harmonic
Why we shouldn't use the 90° angle so extensively in today's architecture
what we can do in our homes to create more harmony

(The audio is not the greatest, Dr. Lydia de Leòn lives off-grid in Mexico and our internet connection wasn't the greatest. Especially the first 5 minutes are very rough, afterward it gets better. This conversation is too good and too important to not share.

Meet my very first guest on the podcast: David Orozco from TD Wellness in Atlanta GA.

As you know, my motto is "a few minutes a day, keep the chaos away" and David's approach when helping his clients to eat healthier and to lose weight is all about small changes, or One Small Bite, which is also the name of his podcast.

Small changes little by little start making a BIG difference in both areas of life, the clutter and the eating healthier. That's what our conversation is all about.

the effects stress has on clutter and eating, not just during a pandemic but we touch on that as well of course.
we are talking about mindless eating, emotional eating, loneliness, and grief
we are discussing the fear of getting rid of things or food

The main message of our chat is, that it's not about striving for perfection. Just like I always say, my home wouldn't be featured in one of these home magazines, he shares with us that he doesn't eat healthy salad every day and reveals what actually his favourite food is (funny enough my favourite food is the same).

What are your priorities in life and does your 'normal' life reflect them? What are you grateful for right now that you have in your life and what is missing or what is, or became a burden?

These days that we are spending at home during the lockdown, during this Covid-19 crisis, are different than our regular life.

The picture that comes to my mind is a magnifying glass or even a microscope. It's almost like we see our life close up and at the same time we also see a bigger picture.

Listen in to identify your priorities, to be grateful for what you have and to take action on what you want to change.

There is always an opportunity to go through and declutter regular stuff, but seasonal decoration is a little special because you don’t have it displayed year-round in your house.

When it’s packed away, chances are you will not pull out the boxes to go through it. Therefore, there are only three good times to declutter seasonal ornaments.

I also talk about why now during this corona crisis, it's now important more than ever, to surround yourself with things and people you love and create lasting memories.

Listen in and hear my take on when it is the best time to declutter those items.

It's all about balance. A clutter-free home is finding the right balance for us and our lifestyle. It's not about just getting rid of everything right away, but also not keeping all the stuff indefinitely. It's about getting clear on what is important to us, what we want to spend our energy and money on, and then letting go of the other stuff. It's not about perfectionism, it's aboout awareness.

Our life today is already so busy and stressful for a lot of us, if the home is also a source of stress and anxiety we have nowhere to relax and rejuvenate, to calm down and recharge.

It is very hard to not have a place where one feels comfortable, where you can recharge and rejuvenate.

A cluttered home and environment stresses us out already in the best of times, when we are doing good and our life is going good. But imagine you experience a trauma or grief, now more than ever you need a supportive environment.

It's so easy to focus on what is not right, what's not working, or what bothers us, that we forget to allow ourselves to honour and value what we have.

With the Love tours we are showing appreciation and gratitude. It is also a way of becoming aware what all we have in our life and how we feel about it.
