275. Your Messy Home + God’s Grace: Release the Shame and Finally Make Progress | Dana K. White of A Slob Comes Clean

Feb 4, 2025

As a homeschooling mother of eight who runs our family business from home, the only way I am able to keep our home from spiraling out of control is by constantly decluttering. I talk often about this topic because I am so convinced of the positive impact minimalism has on every area of our lives. As a fellow “naturally unorganized” person, Dana has been on a years-long journey of decluttering and organizing that has set her free from the constant overwhelm of a messy home. In this conversation, we are diving into how faith and our homes are connected. If you are working towards decluttering, let this episode inspire you and take away the shame of feeling like a failure at tidiness.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Where you need to start if you are not a naturally organized person
  • This one organizational concept will transform the way you think about your possessions
  • Does keeping a clean home have anything to do with faith?
  • How even well-intentioned accumulating can get out of control
  • Frugality might actually be causing you to overwhelm your home with clutter
  • Does your home reveal the state of your heart?
  • This tiny mindset shift will transform your home
  • Implement these two small habits TODAY to start seeing immediate results in your home
  • A simple method of storing kids’ clothes from one child to the next
  • If your whole home is cluttered and you don’t know where to start, do this first
