About this listen

In this deeply grounding holiday episode, Corinne invites Type B moms to slow down, breathe, and clear both their homes and their hearts before the season of giving begins. “The Great Gift Purge” isn’t about perfection—it’s about peace. Through stories, science, and Scripture, this conversation helps moms release clutter, guilt, and overwhelm so they can welcome Christmas with calm instead of chaos.

You’ll learn why clutter triggers stress hormones, how gratitude rewires the brain, and how even small purging rituals can strengthen family connection and faith. Together we’ll walk through every stage of the pre-holiday reset—decluttering kids’ toys, simplifying décor, setting loving gift boundaries, and preparing your home as a sanctuary instead of a storage unit.

Rooted in biblical truth (“For God is not a God of disorder but of peace.” – 1 Cor 14:33), this episode blends neuroscience, gentle routines, and heart-led homemaking wisdom to help you make space for what matters most.

Whether you’re sorting toy bins or sorting emotions, this 3-hour episode will leave you feeling lighter, encouraged, and ready to embrace the holidays with clarity and grace.
