Declutter Your Chaos - Mindful Minimalism
Hosted by Amber Cammidge · EN
Welcome to Declutter Your Chaos, the podcast for women who are ready to take control of their homes and their lives.
Each episode blends practical, bite-sized decluttering strategies with a mindful, no-nonsense approach to the deeper emotional patterns that keep you stuck. We'll uncover the "why" behind the clutter, reset your habits, and help you create a home that actually supports the life you want to live.
Create systems that stick—because they're built around you, not what Instagram says your home should look like.
Whether your clutter is physical, mental, or emotional, you're not alone—and you're not broken.
You're just ready for a change.
Let's do this together.
Welcome to Declutter Your Chaos.
xo, Amber

368 | Why the House, Husband, and Stuff Didn't Make Me Happy
2d ago00:24:11Tap to summarizeHey Friends, Inspired by the show, Your Friends & Neighbors, this episode explores why external success doesn't always lead to internal fulfillment, the hidden scripts many of us bring into marriage, and why midlife may not be a crisis, but an invitation. We talk about why decluttering may be less about getting rid of stuff and more about uncovering who we truly are. Hope this helps you!

1w ago00:44:19Tap to summarizeHey Friends! Today I'm sharing a conversation I recently had on Anna Dearmon Kornick's podcast that I wanted to bring to you as well. Anna is a sought-after speaker, author and time management expert. Check out her podcast here: It's About Time Podcast In this conversation, we explore why decluttering is rarely about the stuff itself and why so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and unable to get started. We talk about the connection between clutter and the nervous system, why organization alone isn't enough, and how small, intentional actions can create lasting change in both your home and your life. In this episode, you'll learn: • How a dysregulated nervous system can make even simple decluttering tasks feel impossible • The Body, Mind, Soul + Next Action framework for moving from overwhelm to action • Why tiny actions are more effective than marathon decluttering sessions I hope this podcast episode helps you feel better in your home.

May 2000:23:07Tap to summarizeIn this episode, Amber explores the connection between boundaries, mindfulness, self-abandonment, and clutter. Through personal reflections on marriage, divorce, and blurred emotional boundaries, she unpacks how many women unconsciously override their own needs, capacity, and nervous systems over time.
