If you have ever wondered what it’s like to work with a KonMari® Consultant, then this is the episode for you. I worked with Grace back in September 2021 on her kids’ bedroom, and in this episode, we talk about why she asked me for help, how the process was for her, and whether there has been any benefit for her long term. It was fascinating for me to hear her reflect on how it has been, and I learned a lot about working with clients going forward. Have a listen and see if you relate to her pain points. She has found some great solutions!

I regularly find myself in the fortunate position of helping other people learn what it means for something to spark joy for them as they begin their tidying journey. But more often than not their first question is 'but what if everything sparks joy?' That's often been their problem. They have thought everything does up until this point, and it's a revelation to learn what it really means. This episode should start helping you understand what it means to you, with the help of quotes from some wonderful people who I have had the pleasure of meeting on my KonMari journey. I hope this episode sparks joy for you.

What if you had to leave your home in minutes?

Would you know what to grab? Could you even find it?

We never want to think about emergencies, but being prepared is life-changing—and decluttering is your first step.

In this episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’ll share three powerful strategies to help you safeguard what matters most. This isn’t just about tidying—it’s about protecting memories, reducing overwhelm, and creating a clutter-free home where you can breathe easier.

A cluttered house slows you down. A well-organized space empowers you.

Using the KonMari Method and other practical declutter strategies, I’ll show you how to:
✔️ Identify the essentials
✔️ Create systems that work in any crisis
✔️ Turn small wins into big peace of mind

Because intentional living isn’t just about having a tidy home. It’s about feeling prepared, calm, and in control—even in the toughest situations.

So ask yourself:
👉 If disaster struck tomorrow, are you ready?
👉 What’s stopping you from taking control of your space today?

Don’t wait for a “forced reset” to find clarity. Decluttering now is your chance to choose what stays, let go of what doesn’t, and enjoy the freedom of a lighter life.

🎧 Tune in for insights that might just change the way you think about your home—and your future.

Listen now. Your clutter-free, intentional life starts here. ✨
