Decluttering Holiday Expectations (for Yourself and Others)

This episode was inspired by YOU. 💬

In our recent poll, you shared your top three holiday stressors:

🎯 Expectations from others

🎯 Feeling like you have to do more than last year

🎯 Fear of disappointing people

And today, we’re tackling all three head-on.

If you’ve ever felt like the holidays have become more about pressure than peace, this conversation will help you clear the mental and emotional clutter that’s been stealing your joy.

You’ll learn how to ask instead of assume, simplify what actually matters, and create a season that feels aligned, not overwhelming.

💬 In this episode, you’ll discover:

1️⃣ How to stop carrying everyone else’s expectations

2️⃣ Why doing more every year keeps you stuck in burnout

3️⃣ How to ask your family what they actually want—gifts, experiences, or simply time

4️⃣ A mindset shift that helps you stop overgiving and start enjoying the holidays again

If you’ve ever found yourself overcommitting, over-functioning, or overthinking during the holidays, this one’s for you.

✨ Remember: Peace doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from expecting less and connecting deeper.

Romanticizing your life isn’t fantasy — it’s preparation.

Most people never finish decluttering because they never fall in love with what’s waiting on the other side. They start with trash bags and pressure… instead of vision, desire, and self-worth.

In today’s episode, I’m inviting you to romanticize your After — to emotionally experience the peace, presence, and identity you’re truly decluttering for.

We’re talking about:

✨ Why motivation dies without a vision

✨ The grief hiding in your clutter

✨ How to build an “After” you’re emotionally invested in

✨ My personal story of rebuilding life after divorce — one intentional room at a time

Why We Buy Organizers Before We Declutter

Buying organizers feels productive… but what if it’s actually keeping you stuck?

In today’s episode, we’re uncovering why we buy storage bins, baskets, and labels before we declutter — and the emotional weight hiding behind that habit.

🧠 Backed by insights from the Journal of Environmental Psychology and a powerful reminder from Peter Walsh, we’re exploring:

• Why organizing feels safer than letting go
• The illusion of control behind “buying systems”
• What true decluttering actually gives you: time, clarity, self-trust
• Why emotional clutter can’t be fixed with another container
