Have you ever spent an afternoon moving piles from one spot to another, filling up baskets, maybe even color-coding things—only to realize your house still feels overwhelming? That’s because you were rearranging, not decluttering.

In this episode of The Stress Less Podcast, I’m breaking down the difference between the two. Rearranging makes your space look different for a minute, but decluttering makes your life feel different for good. I’ll walk you through the signs you’re stuck in “rearranging mode,” what true decluttering actually does for your mental load, and the simple steps you can take to finally make your home feel lighter and easier to manage.

If your home feels like it constantly needs to be “put back together,” even after you organize, this one’s for you.

If you’ve ever stood in front of a closet full of clothes and still thought, “I have nothing to wear,” you’re not alone. Closets have a way of looking full while leaving us with zero options we actually want to put on. And for moms—especially those managing ADHD or decision fatigue—closet clutter adds a whole new layer of stress. Clothes become more than just clothes: they’re guilt, “someday” sizes, or money spent that now hangs as a reminder.

In this episode, I'm walking through the exact reflection questions from my free resource, The Decide Guide, to help you cut through the noise and make your closet work for you again. I’ll show you how to separate the clothes you actually wear and love from the ones weighing you down—and share a few quick wins you can tackle today to make your space instantly feel lighter.

This isn’t about creating a picture-perfect wardrobe or tossing everything you own. It’s about creating a closet that’s functional, realistic, and filled with clothes that make your daily routine easier.

Tune in to hear how to reset your closet in a way that feels doable, even if your energy is low or your brain feels scattered.
