Mamas need a village. I’m shouting out the incredible moms who have helped me (specifically, in this post, to) grow my beloved small business into something that I’m so, so proud of—allowing me to be the happiest mama to my little one.

I’m a professional organizer who’s been on both sides of the clutter. I’m here to tell you, so many of us are struggling. We are trying our best, and the shame spiral of clutter still has us STUCK. The remedy is empathy. I’m here to share a way off the roller coaster.

As a professional organizer and a mama, I will tirelessly declutter the stigma around mental health, proactively resist mom guilt, and empower my clients and supporters to consciously choose themselves over BS narratives meant to hold us back. We can flip the script; here’s my own public attempt. I’m imperfect and I’m doing my best.

Letting go can sometimes be scary and hard and also it is LIBERATING and empowering. It takes trust. It takes practice learning to choose your time, energy, space, and self over anything else.

Here are 8 everyday decisions you can be empowered to make that will yield a tidier home and more confidence and calm in YOU.

Spring cleaning will be so much more manageable when you spend time decluttering these high-traffic areas—not to mention a smoother flow to your day.

Happy spring, and happy organizing!

If you’re exhausted by your clutter, take the overwhelm out of the plan of attack. Adjust your mindset, accept without judgment, and make a plan to LET GO with intention. Here are some 5 examples of common items we’ve overconsumed, and how to ask yourself the hard questions to determine what you actually want to keep.

Living with intention organically lends itself to a more organized home, a calmer state of mind, and a more cohesive family. I’m a professional organizer, sharing how I’ve become a more conscious consumer AND the everyday “steps” I take to move closer to my goals of tidiness and peace at home.

Bringing intention into your daily/weekly routines will help you and your family enjoy a (mostly) calm home. Here are some of my family’s best systems and everyday practices.

“Things will get better when...” is a harmful and crippling fallacy. Change happens when you take action in the present to be accountable and show up for yourself. You must challenge the narrative in your head about waiting for the perfect moment or until xyz happens to get the organized home you need, want, and deserve.
