If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I end up here — and where the heck are my shoes?” — this episode is for you. Whether you're stuck in a shame spiral over clutter, afraid to start because you might fail (again), or dreaming of a better life but don’t know how to take that first step… you are so not alone.

In this raw and honest episode, I share the unfiltered story of how I went from total chaos (like, literal hoarder-level mess, bad decisions, and breaking the law kind of chaos) to finding purpose, peace, and a really clean kitchen. We walk down memory lane — from ADHD-fueled disasters to building the Clutterbug community, from a flip cam and a dream to YouTube, books, podcasts, and even a fire truck (yup, you read that right).

This one’s not just a highlight reel — it’s a messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reminder that you don’t need to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just need rules, limits, vision boards, and a dash of delusional self-belief. You’ll hear the power of finding your people, discovering your style, and finally realizing that you’re not messy — you just organize differently.

✨ We chat about:

What it’s really like to fail (a lot) and keep going anyway
The chaotic backstory behind Clutterbug (and how it almost didn’t happen)
Vision boards, viral videos, and how to manifest your dream life — one basket at a time
How “It’s not a cat” became a clutter mantra (and a t-shirt!)
What to keep when you’re living in a “temporary but forever” space
Why your kids don’t think you’re cool — even if you’re a YouTuber
The life-changing magic of saying “I deserve this” — and meaning it

👇 What’s your chaos-to-clarity moment? Have you ever embraced your weird, chased a wild dream, or told yourself “I deserve this”? Let’s chat in the comments — and if this episode made you laugh, cry, or finally toss out that third crockpot, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with a friend who’s also building their own beautifully messy, magic-filled life.
