Clear The Clutter

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3FMLEw6 Our society is not designed to think about our future self.  I can bet you that most of us don't even know what a future self is.  Let alone how to care for one. What if, instead of thinking that we will always have endless resources and time on our hands.  We planned.  We cleared up our schedule.  We took things off our plate that didn't matter. We made time and space for the things that moved us forward in life. But only in a loving, non judgmental way. In this episode I uncover: What is the goal that would best help your future self? What's taking your time and getting in the way of that? What baby steps can you implement today? Now that you have the tools to care for your future self , what's going to change in you life?  What are you going to say no to?  What are you going to simplify?  What are you going to move around?  How will you make the future easier for yourself and family?

Of course we know that the people selling us these ads, just want to make money off us.  But it's deeper than that.   If your in the US we are all living in a culture that needs to do more and spend more.  Do more because we have to keep up with the latest trends.  Spend more because we need to have the latest gadgets.  But no one really talks about sitting still.  It's gotten to the point that most of us don't even know how to sit still.  --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3puGjE1 It hit me light lighting.  I was done.   I didn't want to spend any more time thinking about it.  I wanted to get my 6-10 hours a month back. But could I really do this. Yeah, sure other people had gotten out of credit card debt and never went back.   But could that be me? But I couldn't deny the feeling that id had for months.  That I was done and ready to never think/ juggle credit card debt again.  It was my new ultimate truth. In this episode I uncovered how to discover what is a crappy ultimate truth. What signs to look for when your ready to change your truth. Along with how to change it to a good one, permanently. I also take you behind the scenes in how I processed my credit card debt. Ultimate truth. Let me say this though.  Its not about the debt.  My credit card debt, could be your bad habit X.   So when listening to podcast episode,  If credit card debt doesn't ring true to you.  

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3ma4Vjm This is and will always be my favorite episode. As I always talk about in my episodes, there is always an easier and better way to achieve your goals. But what most people don't pay attention to there base levels of beliefs systems. Today's podcast is talking about setting new energetic minimums and maximums. It's the other half of the equation that most people don't know about. Let alone even talk about or focus on fixing. An energetic minimum is what you literally and physically willing to put up with. An energetic maximum is pushing the very limits of what you can image is possible. Going through life its easy to pick up conscious and unconscious beliefs that influence the decisions we make. Wanting a new job or a promotion? Your belief system is going to play a part in believing if your worthy before you even apply for the bump. What to get rid of toxic friends and habits. Your belief systems is going to be there telling you if its easy or hard to do that.

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3m98XbC If what we want to achieve our big goals, then we need to make it easy to get there.  Yes, there will be things that we need to overcome.  There are going to be struggles and dark nights of the soul. But It doesn't always have to be so difficult.  Just like a pro athlete, taking care of yourself and having tools that make it easier is key. Even before I knew the tools that I have access to now.  I always had this belief that there has to be an "easier" way to do things.  As a kid, I loved reading biography's and other "how to's"  to take advantage of any short cut that I could to my goal. So over the years I have taken all the little snippets and fragments of tools that worked for others. Then created a simplified process to change my belief process. In this episode I show you how to ask if the "thing" is ultimately true. How to write a new story and then create mantras that everyone can get behind.  All in the effort of call

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/2ZplSxA If the goal is to always move up and constantly achieve our goals. Then clutter is the literal friction that gets in our way. In last weeks podcast episode I go over some simple and inexpensive ways to clear clutter and prevent duplicate purchases. But what about involving other people in this process? Getting anyone in your family to participate in keeping a home clean doesn't have to be a gargantuan effort. It doesn't matter if its your husband, kids or roommates. Its all about the approach, instead of using threats or just "doing it all yourself". I wrap this up with giving a little tip on how to create "reminder" areas to always make sure things get put away,  especially if its not by you. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3pz6s4C Clutter drives me nuts! Not only is it a super easy way to waste time and money. But it also is a way to stay small. When you are wasting time looking for things, it does more than slow you down. It leads to duplicate purchases, stressful, desperate searching for things that you just saw. Also, unnecessary stress looking for things should be making your life easier. Clutter is a physical and metal issue. The more unnecessary stuff you have in your home or work area. The more everything is slowed down. Your goals and dreams take longer. Your life is more stressful. Today, I am talking walking you through the process of seeing what you actually have (no more duplicate purchases). In this episode I go over some super easy ways to find and solve the areas that frustrate you. Plus, you will get my easy ways to handle storing your stuff and making it Better Homes & Gardens worthy. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3nnAmpR Lets start this off with a bang! By answering those two questions will tell you alot about your home.  It will tell you how you currently feel about your home . But more so, how you want to feel going forward. What sparked this was a facbook group question I posted. ---What's the 1 most cluttered place in your home that frustrates you the most?--- Little did i expect to have over 70 responses in this group and at the time of me writing this. Its still going strong!! You may not realize it, but clearing the clutter out of you home is a spiritual thing.  We depend on our home to keep us safe on top of the status it fulfills. Hello keeping up with the jones.  But what we dont realize is that we should be treating the house like a living breathing thing. Its a creature that needs love and support.  Its a creature that should not be neglected. You can tell how far off the mark you are, by your answers from above. Do they match? If not, then ther

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3AS2l5x I believe that asking for help is a huge missed opportunity that not enough people are talking about. Instead of asking for help, we have this culture that we can and should do it all ourselves.  But most often doing it all ourselves leads to frustration and lost time. Its not that we might lose time on the project. But that we are losing leisure time, time with our kids or furbabies.  Time with our loved ones. So this podcast is dedicated to helping you ask better questions to build your dream team. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3vpC914 It all started with a question.  I was listening to a live stream from one of my favorite people and this question rocked my world. What would this look like if it was easy? It was like lightening went off in my brain. I had always know that the "key" to success in life was asking better questions. But I never thought of ANYTHING being easy. I thought that if it was easy, then I didn't deserve it.  That the only way things would stay in my life, like money or joy is if I worked really hard for it. It's not surprising that I thought this way when everyone I knew always made it a point to talk smack about anyone that "had it easy".   It was the same story.  If it was easy, then they didn't deserve their money or success. So you can see why this one question rocked my world.  Listen to today's podcast to learn more about the two biggest questions I am constantly asking myself and family. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3pf5Fpl There is this weird thing that we as a society don't talk about.  Most of us are addicted to social media but we can't answer why. We can't answer what we are getting out of it.   Or why we get online basically every five minutes.  We cant even answer why we are REALLY posting another picture of our food. All of this "obligation" to social media is keeping us stuck and making some of us sick. In this podcast episode I tell the story of a best friend and how obligations to a platform made her life hell. I also go into the story of how I shifted my mindset around social media. Along with the four questions I now ask anyone that is ready to go on a break. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

Episode + Journal Prompts https://bit.ly/3lTbVRy Since its the new year. I have a few questions to ask yourself before setting new year resolution goals. Instead of setting the same boring goals that everyone does. I'm not a fan of setting goals just because everyone else is doing them. I also hate it when people set goals but there is not meaning or passion behind them.   Why not take it up a notch.  Why not dream bigger and think bigger.  Why not have your life look more like that hidden pinterest board you have. Now, goals don't only have to be set on new years.  I've set them on my birthday or when I had a big life change.  Its always a good time to set a new goal.  The primary goal is to feel good. So with that being said. Here are the questions below. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/cleartheclutter/support

That there are so many tasks that need to be done, but no matter how much you work you don’t feel like you can keep up. This weeks podcast deals with overwhelm. I also have a super handy template in evernote that you can use to make life simpler. If your thinking that you have tried EVERYTHING before to get things out of your head. I bet you haven’t tried this. This is my simple and portable system that I use to get things out of my head and onto a checklist. When you are listening to the podcast and creating you own list. Remember two things. First, that no matter how big or small your brain dump is doesn’t make you a bad person. Second, things that don’t get written down most of the time don’t get accomplished. I talk alot about evernote in this podcast because im a major fan of keeping things simple. I use to try paper list in the past, but then when I was at the grocery store

I have been creating a podcast for you. It will be diving deep into how I have cleared clutter, both mentally and physically. In my own life i’ve been craving more space and more time. I’ve been lucky over the years to have come across some amazing resources, but was super sad that they just didn’t seem to be that popular. Instead everyone was so worried about hustling more and staying up 24/7.  I have been there and done that. I had hustled myself until I got sick and still went into work. I have pulled 18 hour days and busted my ass. But what the “hustlers” don’t tell you is that its not sustainab
