Letting Go of “Someday”: Clearing the Clutter Without Overwhelm
Ever look around your homeschool space and think, “What if I need all this… someday?”
You’re not alone, mama. The fear of letting go “just in case” keeps so many homeschool moms stuck in overwhelm, surrounded by clutter, and feeling guilty for not living up to a Pinterest-perfect standard.
In this episode, Laura shares some tough love:
The truth about why holding onto “someday” stuff is stealing your peace (not protecting your family)
Why more bins and organization won’t fix the problem—and what actually works
How to gently shift your mindset from “what if?” to “what matters now?”
The “container concept”—a simple boundary that makes letting go so much easier
Step-by-step: How to start decluttering without overwhelm, guilt, or regret
You’ll Learn:

How letting go teaches your kids to live with intention (not anxiety)
Practical tips for choosing what stays, what goes, and where to start today
