When it comes to autoimmune health, there are some sneaky energy drains you might not expect—and clutter is absolutely one of them. In this episode, I’m joined by psychologist and decluttering coach Kate Evans, and we unpack how the piles in your home might just be piling onto your fatigue, brain fog, and even your mental load. We explore why clutter feels so heavy, how it drains your energy daily, and—most importantly—what small, doable actions you can take today to lighten both your space and your mind.
Kate shares her personal story of decluttering her own home and how it transformed her energy, her mindset, and even her professional path. We dive into the emotional blocks that keep us holding on to things that no longer serve us, the thought errors that trip us up, and practical strategies for creating clearer spaces that feel good to live in—without overwhelm.
