Happy decluttering!


Have a major decluttering project on your To-Do List?

If so, you’ll benefit from having both a plan + insight before you declutter your home.

My guest this week is Katie McGowen. Katie is a mom of 5 who knew she had to declutter in a big way. But she didn’t tidy willy-nilly wherever the wind blew her + whenever she found the time; instead, she sought to declutter her entire home systematically.

Katie created a plan before she minimized a single thing; her plan anchored her efforts + ultimately led her to tidied success.

On this week’s show Katie describes the exact steps she took to tackle the job; she offers up 3 hard truths about clutter she learned along the way, too.

Enjoy!

Revisiting The Capsule Wardrobe Conversation

Have a closet full of clothes but nothing to wear? While capsule wardrobes are often touted as the singular solution to closet overwhelm, many report that they can be restrictive, boring and, frankly, unrealistic in practice.

A minimalist closet is best served by first identifying the outfits needed to live YOUR unique life. On today's show podcaster Lauren Morley shows us how to streamline our wardrobes, say goodbye to clutter, and feel effortlessly put together every day by focusing less on capsules and more on a 20 outfit wardrobe, instead.

 

Here's a preview:
