If you’re tired of decluttering the same spaces over and over again, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. In this episode, I’m joined by Katy Wells, the voice behind the Maximized Minimalist and author of Making Home Your Happy Place to talk about why clutter keeps coming back and how to finally break the cycle.

Katy shares the moment she realized her home was pulling her away from being the “yes mom” she wanted to be, and how true change didn’t come from better bins or checklists, but from getting to the root of her clutter. We talk about your “stuff story,” the difference between mess and clutter (hint: mess is expected), and the four types of clutter that require different strategies.

If you’ve ever thought, “I’m just not organized” or felt shame about the state of your home, this episode will encourage you. Letting go isn’t a personality trait, it’s a skill you can learn. And with a few tiny tweaks and the right questions, you really can create a home that feels like your happy place.
