If your house feels like it's bursting at the seams, and you’re constantly caught between “I should be more organized” and “I just can’t keep up,” this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

We’re not talking about color-coded closets or minimalist Pinterest homes today. We’re talking about something much more doable—and honestly, more powerful. What if you gave yourself permission to have just enough?

In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I’m sharing the mindset shift that’s been changing everything in my own home lately. As a mom with ADHD and a full plate, I know firsthand how heavy the mental load of motherhood can feel—especially when our homes are overflowing with too much. Too much stuff. Too many systems. Too many things to keep up with. It’s exhausting.

This episode is packed with real-life examples of how I’m applying this mindset in my home—plus encouragement to help you do the same. Because when your home supports your actual life (instead of demanding more from you), everything gets easier.

Let’s be real. Mom life is a lot. Between juggling family, managing a home, and keeping up with the mental load of motherhood, it’s easy to feel like your brain is running on fumes. That’s exactly why I recorded this episode of the Stress Less Podcast. If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, “I just wish someone would tell me what to do,” then this one’s for you.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how I use ChatGPT in my everyday mom life, not just in business, not in some techy, intimidating way, but in simple, realistic ways that make daily decisions easier. I'm talking meal ideas, skincare routines, DIY planning, medical appointment prep, wardrobe brainstorming, and even parenting support. Basically, if your brain feels overloaded and you’re tired of Googling things for 45 minutes only to feel more confused… this episode will feel like a breath of fresh air.

If you’ve ever opened a kitchen drawer and wondered, Why do I have five spatulas but only use one?—you’re in good company. This episode is your gentle nudge (and permission slip) to finally tackle the clutter in your kitchen and pantry.

This isn’t a checklist or a lecture—it’s a conversation to help you think differently about the stuff in your space. Whether you’re standing in your kitchen while you listen, working through one cupboard at a time, or just doing your daily routine, these questions are designed to meet you where you’re at.

Let’s be honest: the kitchen is one of the most-used spaces in your home. It holds your morning routine, your family meals, your rushed school lunches, and probably a few gadgets you don’t even remember buying. It’s no wonder it can feel overwhelming.

This episode isn’t about getting rid of everything. It’s about deciding—on purpose—what deserves space in your kitchen and what’s just getting in the way.

So if you’re craving a kitchen and pantry that feels lighter, clearer, and easier to use—press play. Your next small win starts here.

Ever feel like your house is bursting at the seams but you have no idea where to start? You're staring at the mess, thinking, “If I had a free weekend and a team of professionals, maybe I could get this under control.” But let’s be real—you’re a busy mom with zero extra time and a to-do list that doesn’t quit.

This episode of the Stress Less Podcast is here to change that.

I’m walking you through the exact four-step method I use to organize any space—whether it’s a chaotic playroom, your jam-packed bathroom cabinet, or the dreaded junk drawer. These four steps—Prioritize, Categorize, Downsize, and Reorganize—are simple, ADHD-friendly, and designed to help you create systems that stick.

This method is the core of how I work with overwhelmed moms who are ready to ditch decision fatigue, stop second-guessing every little thing, and finally feel in control of their home again. And the best part? Once you learn this method, you can reuse it anytime—room by room, season by season, as your family grows and your needs shift.

In this episode, I’m not just giving you a strategy. I’m giving you the permission to start small, do things your way, and find what truly makes your life easier.

So whether you're knee-deep in toys, trying to reclaim a bathroom drawer, or just need someone in your ear while you get started—pop in your AirPods and pretend we’re body doubling together. This episode is your starting point.

Tune in to this episode of the Stress Less Podcast and learn how to finally get started organizing your home—without the stress.

And if you’re ready to make the process even easier, be sure to grab the free Decide Guide linked in the show notes. It’s packed with over 150 reflection questions to help you confidently decide what stays and what goes, one space at a time.

If you've ever found yourself deep in a DIY project—or in the middle of a decluttering meltdown—you know exactly how exhausting it can be to keep pushing forward without the right tools.

In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on three big projects I’ve been working on and what happened when I stubbornly tried to muscle through them without the proper tools. Spoiler alert: I ended up with a sore hand, a major break from progress, and a fresh reminder of why using the right tool changes everything.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing how this simple mindset shift applies to organizing your home, why decision fatigue is the real enemy, and how the Decide Guide is the shortcut you didn’t know you needed. You’ll also get a sneak peek into the new Room-by-Room Organizing Guides I’m creating (based on feedback from Decide Guide users!) to help you tackle your whole home—one space at a time.

Let’s talk about the one space in your home that’s supposed to feel welcoming—but often ends up looking like a tornado hit it.

Yep. I’m talking about the entryway.

Whether you’re walking in after a long day or chasing behind your kids as they kick off shoes, toss backpacks, and drop coats everywhere—this space has a way of attracting all the chaos. If your entryway feels more like a dumping ground than a functional landing pad, this episode of the Stress Less Podcast is for you.

In this episode, I’m breaking down how to organize your entryway in a way that’s realistic, mom-proof, and ADHD-friendly. It’s not about having a Pinterest-perfect mudroom (although that sounds cute in theory). It’s about making this space actually work for your everyday life—because when the first few steps into your home feel calm, it sets the tone for everything else.

We’ll talk through:

• Why the entryway tends to attract clutter fast
• Common mistakes that make the chaos worse (even if you’ve already “organized” it)
• My go-to categories for figuring out what actually belongs in your entry
• The specific systems I use in my own home—including how I manage shoes, backpacks, farm coats, papers, keys, and even wrestling bags that should have been put away a month ago

If you’ve ever felt like you just can’t stay on top of the mess—this isn’t about you doing it wrong. It’s about designing a system that fits your home, your family, and your current season of life.

Because let’s be real: Your entryway in summer is not the same as your entryway in the middle of winter. Your needs change. Your family grows. And your home should evolve with you—not stay stuck in a version that no longer serves you.

You don’t need to redo your entire house. You just need to start at the door.

Tune in now to Episode 35 of the Stress Less Podcast to learn how to make your entryway functional without the fuss—and how small, thoughtful changes in this space can ripple into more calm everywhere else.
