What if letting go of clutter could give you more than just a tidy home? Have you ever gone on holiday and thought, Why can’t my house feel this calm and clear all the time? In this episode, I’m chatting with Melissa Pruitt—an online entrepreneur who spent a year travelling full-time, taking with her only what could fit in the car she shared with her husband and their dog (yes, really). When they finally opened their storage unit after 12 months on the road, what they found—and what they didn’t miss—sparked a massive declutter. We’re talking about the real cost of clutter, why we hang onto stuff we don’t need, and what happens when you finally ask: Do I even want this in my life anymore? Melissa’s journey is packed with powerful reminders—about intentional living, mindful tidying, and how the KonMari method and smart declutter strategies can completely shift how you feel in your space. If you’re overwhelmed, constantly tidying but never feeling “done,” or just sick of staring at drawers full of stuff you never use—this one’s for you. Let’s rethink home organization. Let’s simplify. Let’s stop waiting for the “perfect time.” Press play now and discover how to take back control of your space—without needing to pack up your life and hit the road (unless you want to).

Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents – World Autism Acceptance Month 2025 Decluttering is hard for so many kids — but for autistic children, it can feel downright impossible. That’s because what looks like “just stuff” to us often holds comfort, predictability, and emotional meaning for them. In this episode, we’re tackling the reality of helping your autistic child let go of toys, clothes, and school items without triggering meltdowns, power struggles, or distress. I’ll walk you through how to approach decluttering with empathy , structure , and practical tools that empower your child — not overwhelm them. Whether your child finds it hard to part with broken toys or outgrown clothing, or you’re simply feeling stuck, this is a gentle, realistic guide to making it work. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why letting go is so emotionally difficult for many autistic children How to use “thank you” boxes and keep boxes to reduce stress Tips for decluttering broken or outgrown items without overwhelm How to give your child control and choice when tidying their room The power of celebrating small wins and knowing when to stop for the day What to do with sentimental items that are too hard to let go of Plus, I’ll share how I’ve used these strategies with my own children, including my son with autism and PDA, and why creating a safe, supportive bedroom environment is far more important than perfection. Key takeaway: Decluttering isn’t about taking things away — it’s about making space for what matters. And when we make space with care and empathy, our kids feel more safe, more regulated, and more connected to their space.

Why an organized home makes life easier (even when you're sick). How I took a week off and my home didn’t fall apart #145 8:59

What if you had to step away from running your home for an entire week? Would everything fall apart—or keep running smoothly? I just spent a full week in bed with the flu , completely unable to do anything. No tidying, no cooking, no keeping up with daily life. And yet, my home didn’t descend into chaos. Laundry got done, meals were made, and everything just worked. 👉 Why? Because of the systems and organization already in place. Medications were easy to find, the meal plan kept dinner stress-free, and the kids knew exactly where things were. This experience was a powerful reminder that home organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a home that supports you when you’re not at 100%. 💡 A well-organized home works for you during life’s curveballs—illness, work stress, or unexpected challenges. 💡 It dramatically reduces mental load, stress, and the overwhelming feeling of “catching up” when life gets hectic. 💡 Even small steps toward decluttering and tidying make a difference—you don’t need an Instagram-perfect home, just one that feels like a hug when you walk in. Want to know how I set up my home so it functions without me? Tune in now to learn practical, realistic declutter strategies that help you build a home that supports your future self. 🎧 Listen now and take one small step toward a clutter-free, stress-free home today!
