Dealing with multiple layers of things that disrupt the regular life balance

Talking about how environment affects our mental wellness, why I’m not chasing joy, and how to create space that alters your choices and interactions with others . Declutter your energy.

Wow! Here’s what it was like doing a TEDx talk and a bit more about what the talk was about: Decluttering when you feel like a failure! I talked about my own experience with executive dysfunction, ADHD, and clutter as a professional organizer

This was pre-recorded during a live declutter session on Clubhouse, so there may be a different format than podcast listeners are used to. There are frequent references to my declutter challenge that was being done at the time, so feel free to skip ahead if that does not interest you!  This is a lot of my philosophy on how to declutter while letting emotions come up, combat shame or feelings of inadequacy, while embracing your unique life experience that may contribute to clutter or organization.
