Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women


Apr 9, 2019

Today’s episode is all about managing your stuff. Yet … what if you had none to speak of?

That’s why I begin this episode by reading an essay I wrote in 2015 called ‘How I Gave Up My Home and Found Freedom’.

‘magic art of tidying’ queen Mari Kondo has swept the world with her decluttering system.

It seems we are all quietly drowning in stuff. That is why I invited personal organizer and life coach Julie Coraccio back for a second episode, to talk specifically about the self-care of sorting and cleaning out.

Her tips and ideas cover a lot of ground here, from how to break down overstuffed closets to what to do with all those accumulating Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons.

Here’s what I learned in our informative half hour chat:

  • 3 telltale signs you need decluttering help
  • Where to start when you’re in declutter overwhelm (this may surprise you)
  • What if you’re just not inspired but you know you need to declutter
  • How to evaluate which spaces need decluttering
  • How to use a vision board to get your life sorted out
  • Tips on chunking down what seems overwhelming
