For so many women, clutter isn’t really about “the stuff.”
It’s about overwhelm.
It’s about feeling stuck.
It's about running a busy life and home and not feeling like you have the time.
It’s about a mind that feels as chaotic as the room you’re standing in.
It's about how it affects how you feel about yourself.
In this powerful episode, I'm joined by Valerie Huard - a trauma-informed decluttering coach whose own journey with CPTSD led her to discover how deeply physical clutter mirrors emotional clutter.
Together, we explore:
💛 why clutter is never about laziness
💛 how trauma, burnout, or ADHD make clutter feel impossible to manage
💛 the link between declutter and your self-worth
💛 Valerie’s four-step decluttering framework that helps create lasting change
💛 how simple tools (like gloves!) can reduce overwhelm for neurodivergent minds
💛 what it looks like to build a home environment that supports your wellbeing
This is not an episode about having a Pinterest-perfect home.
It’s about creating space - mentally, emotionally, and physically - so you can breathe, and feel happy and confident again.
