In this powerful and practical episode of Living Inspired, I’m joined by professional organizer and life coach, Tracy Hoth, to explore how physical and mental clutter impacts our stress, health, and overall well-being. Tracy introduces her memorable 5-step SPASM method (yes, really!) to help you simplify and organize your space, your mind, and your calendar, without shame or overwhelm.
We go deep into how disorganization affects cortisol and blood sugar, how identity influences your habits, and why you don’t need to do it all to start feeling better. Whether it’s your kitchen counter, your purse, or your mind that needs clearing, this episode gives you a compassionate and doable place to begin.
You’ll Learn:
