Home Decluttering Made Easy: Essential Talks to Rally Your Family with Michelle Purta

Do you struggle to declutter with your partner? Maybe they don't think your home is cluttered, or they like to shop, or what I hear most often is they have a lot of hobbies that you never see them do so youâre not sure why they want to keep all that stuff.

What is one to do when you want to live in a clutter free home and your partner is not on the same page?

Thankfully, my guest this week on Wannabe Clutter Free is well versed in helping people communicate with their partners through the trials and tribulations of marriage and parenthood.

Michelle Purta is a mom of 3, marriage coach and host of The Marriage & Motherhood Podcast. She helps parents feel like a couple again by teaching them how to manage conflict together and make their relationship a priority while raising kids.

After experiencing her own relationship struggles and becoming a mom, she noticed how challenging parenthood was on marriage and how many issues couples were facing that were completely fixable. Now she's on a mission to help parents realize that they don't have to choose between being a good parent or a good partner, because they can be both!

This episode of the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast will also help you discover:

How to broach tough conversations
Where you should start when asking a partner to declutter
What you can do when you have generous family members

**********************

If you struggle with decluttering and organizing, the thing you just might need is a fresh start.

A fresh start is any milestone or significant event that marks a new beginning or a potential change in your life.

Why are these fresh start dates so powerful for decluttering? Well, they give us a chance to reflect on where we are and where we want to be.

They act as a natural reset button, encouraging us to let go of things that we may not have even noticed and make room for space to breathe. It’s not about getting rid of stuff for the sake of making room for the newest trends. It’s about creating space for the person you want to be, the home you want to create, and the life you want to be living.

Fresh starts allow us to let go of the shackles of the past and move forward (maybe not confidently), but bravely.

Plus, when you're a busy parent, having a decluttered home can make a world of difference in reducing stress and creating a more peaceful environment for you and your family so it’s worth giving fresh starts a try.

This episode of the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast will help you discover:

5+ fresh start dates that can improve your decluttering
How to avoid the pitfalls of starting fresh
The difference between calendar and event-based fresh start dates
Why fresh start dates work well for kids
Tips for handling unexpected fresh starts
