Ready to stop the overwhelm and start enjoying your life more? This podcast will help you declutter the piles of stuff, organize the things you want to keep, and learn to let go of the rest with positive mindsets and encouragement.
As a busy mom who's been there, done that, I share stories of the crazy - like selling 80% of what we owned to travel with our toddler to the mundane - like having to run a home now that our kiddo's in school. Living with less is not about deprivation - just the opposite! Decluttering can open you up for a life of freedom you never knew was possible.

Feeling like life has become all work and no play? In this episode, Deanna Yates explores how clutter might be the hidden culprit stealing your joy—and how clearing it can help you reclaim fun, freedom, and spontaneity.
This week’s focus is on the “G: Good Times” pillar in the E.M.P.O.W.E.R.I.N.G. Life Assessment. Deanna breaks down how physical, mental, and emotional clutter drains your energy and blocks the joy you deserve. She shares why fun often disappears in motherhood, and how you can bring it back—no Pinterest-worthy plans required.
From playful decluttering strategies to creating a “Fun Bucket List,” this episode is packed with inspiration and practical tips for making fun a non-negotiable part of your life again.
What you’ll learn in this episode:
How clutter sabotages your capacity for joy
Why high-achieving moms often feel stuck in “survival mode”
Tips for making decluttering fun (yes, really!)
How to reclaim your time, energy, and identity through less stuff
One small shift to start enjoying life more—today
