An organized home is step #1 to an organized life, and when your home is cluttered... so is your life. What do you want your life to look like? Let’s tidy it up together. Kelly Haller from The Tidy Rebel (the Organization Anti-Guru) reveals all of her neurotic secrets, hard-learned lessons, and easy habits to get you there faster and with a lot less tears. Spoiler alert: It turns out that trying to be perfect will make you crazy, and truly unburdened people all have a few simple things in common. You don’t need more time, more money, or more of an iron-will to get your life together. You need to know how to take control of what ya already got. You have ENOUGH. Life has ENOUGH stress without your home adding to that list. And you’ve got ENOUGH crap in your home and your life. So, ENOUGH with the rules, ENOUGH with the grind, and ENOUGH filling the void with the wrong things. You are ENOUGH. And you have ENOUGH to make everything in life work for you (instead of the other way around)! Knock it off with the self-doubt and the Super Woman complex... you don't have to do it all. Give yourself permission to be the badass that you are, and take as many naps as you need along the journey. Embrace an irreverently, imperfectly organized home (and life) and you will find an even better version of yourself underneath all that stuff that you have ENOUGH of.

Selective Minimalism Can Save Your Sanity, with Krista Lockwood

You don't have to get rid of a single beanie baby in order to be organized and feel good in your home. There is no moral high ground to depriving yourself of "extra" stuff.

However... two things can be true at the same time. Minimalism can be used selectively in order to save you from the STUFF that you're constantly drowning in. You can be a happy maximalist, and still apply the principal of minimalism to specific areas of your home. This isn't an either-or world, and you get to make your own rules.

Krista Lockwood from Motherhood Simplified helps moms declutter and simplify their lives in order to maintain their sanity. Because motherhood is a season that, well... might require some selective minimalism so that you can keep up with the specific challenges that motherhood brings (and free up room for more JOY instead).

Kelly and Krista discuss both of their minimalism journeys (one was by accident, while the other was on purpose), and why they no longer believe that minimalism is a silver bullet to fix your problems. Do we hate minimalism? NO! Minimalism might be the right solution for your life, but it helps to be damn sure before you dive off the deep end and end up regretting all the stuff you later realize wasn't even the real problem. We discuss who it might be right for, and how *not* to do it so that you stay in alignment with your values.
