ADVICE

Start Editing Life with Clarity

Do less and expect less of yourself to reduce feeling overwhelmed by "too muchness."
Start by asking: what is being neglected that you care about, and what do you want more or less of?

INSIGHT

Time Scarcity Drives Overwhelm

Most people crave more time, especially for health and leisure activities like reading or exercise.
Many feel they can't even spare 15 minutes for a simple pleasure, showing time scarcity is key to overwhelm.

ADVICE

Ruthlessly Edit with Purpose

Define a clear vision for what you want more of to ruthlessly edit your home and life.
Let go of anything that doesn't align with that vision to create space and reduce clutter.

Clutter isn’t just a pile of stuff on your desk or a closet that won’t close—it’s a drain on your energy, your focus, and your peace of mind. And if your physical space feels chaotic, chances are something deeper is, too.

In this episode, I’m joined by Shira Gill, globally recognized home organizing expert and author of LifeStyled: Your Guide to a More Organized & Intentional Life. Shira has helped thousands of people—from busy moms to top executives—cut through the chaos and create lives that actually feel good to live in.

We talk about why organizing isn’t about perfection (thank goodness), how your home reflects your inner world, and how simplifying your life is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. This is your permission slip to let go—of clutter, of pressure, of things that aren’t serving you—and create space for what actually matters.

In This Episode, We Cover:
✅ The connection between clutter, stress, and mental overwhelm
✅ How to edit your life with compassion and clarity
✅ Why “lowering the bar” can be the key to more joy
✅ How to use decluttering as a path to self-respect and confidence

Clearing physical space clears mental space. And when we stop trying to keep up with the clutter—literal and emotional—we make room for peace, creativity, and freedom.
