Opening Bible verse: Proverbs 27:23

Let's face it, our wardrobes are an investment. Most of us can't shop until we drop every week. So, let's treat our wardrobe like a gift from God that needs to be managed responsibly. On today's episode I go over a few basic habits for maintaining your wardrobe in its best condition.

1. Check for issues on every laundry day.

2. Keep a shopping list of items you would like to purchase to prevent impulse shopping or to give you a focus when thrifting.

3. Make clothing repairs ASAP.

4. Do laundry frequently.

5. Never put clothing in the zone of indecision.

6. Unite maintenance with prayer or a joyful task. Watch tv while ironing or pray a rosary while folding laundry.

7. Know that decluttering is an on-going process. Keep a donation bag handy.

8. Challenge yourself to wear all your clothing at some point. Shake up your style with new ways to wear items. Have fun

This year we are doing my group coaching course together via this podcast! It's free and it only gets better as the year progresses.

In January we began with God at the center of our day and our home. We worked to build the habit of a morning prayer routine. I highly recommend the rosary. It’s only about 20 minutes and you’ll meditate on the whole life of Jesus.

February is the month of decluttering. Saturday episodes have been added to focus on decluttering in the kitchen. Each month will have a different focus area and the Saturday episodes will help you focus on one small section of that room.

If you're new here, welcome and give this first episode of 2026 a listen to hear where to begin:

If you've never prayed a rosary or you want to see how you can incorporate it into active decluttering, here is the first episode of my rosary declutter series from last summer.
