Hey there, mama. Are you tired of all the STUFF crowding your home, calendar, and mind? Do you wish you could say goodbye to the endless to-do list running around in your head, while you’re running around in the middle of the mess? Want to declutter but don’t know where to start?

Hi, I’m Emily - a wife, #boymom, and simplicity seeker. I struggled to get pregnant and felt completely overwhelmed - until I discovered decluttering could create the physical and emotional space I needed to become a mom.

Now, two kids later, I’ve transformed my life and motherhood by developing simple systems around decluttering, capsule wardrobes, kids stuff, cleaning and tidying, meal planning, time management, and more- and I can’t wait to share them with you!

If you’re ready to reclaim the time and energy you crave, be present with your kids, and finally enjoy the life and motherhood you SO deserve - let’s kick overwhelm to the curb, shall we?

    You tell yourself that you’re going to get your life together - drink more water, journal, exercise, declutter. You do great for a few days and then your kid gets sick, or there’s an emergency at work. You feel like a failure and wonder if you can ever create habits that will actually stick.

    If this sounds familiar, don’t despair. Traditional habits wisdom, largely created by men, fails women because it ignores invisible labor and praises consistency that relies on perfection.

    Monica Packer is a mom of five and the founder of About Progress, a top-rated podcast about adopting progress over perfection. She has served thousands of women online as a certified habits and identity coach.

    In this episode, we dive into her new book Sticky Habits: A Woman’s Guide to Reclaim Happiness, Ditch Perfectionism, and Create Habits That Last.

    We chat about:

    • why women feel like failures when trying to follow traditional habits advice
    • a different definition of consistency that takes the unpredictability of womens’ lives into account
    • the 4 S’s that make habits sticky
    • why tying identity with habits is an integral piece many habits experts miss

    ...and much more!

    Resources Mentioned:

    Do you feel overwhelmed in your home, even after you’ve decluttered? It may be that you need to “hush” it instead. Today I’m speaking to bestselling author Myquillyn Smith about her new book House Hushing: The Simple Method to Declutter and Decorate for a More Peaceful Home.

    Hushing your home isn’t just about decluttering - it also quiet decorating, soulful styling, and living seasonally. It’s about finding harmony and being able to hear what your house is saying to you.

    Myquillyn and I discuss:

    - why backwards decluttering is the high-reward, low-risk approach you’ve been looking for
    - how quiet decorating allows us turn down the volume of our house without getting rid of things
    - how to create a soulful home over time by layering in soul of the past, present, and futur
    - the edit/audit and plan/pick aspects of living seasonally and how to intentionally choose how you want to live in this season

    Go to Amazon or your favorite book retailer to get your copy of the book…or check below to see how to enter the book giveaway.

    Resources Mentioned:

    I have a beautiful hardback copy of House Hushing I want to gift to you.

    It’s the 250th episode of Moms Overcoming Overwhelm! To celebrate, I’m sharing 25 questions to ask yourself to help you live a clutter-free life!

    Thanks for all your support over the (almost) four years I’ve been doing this podcast.

    5 Questions for Before You Buy:

    1. Does this item bring freedom or burden to my life?
    2. Where will it live?
    3. Does it align with my values?
    4. Can I borrow it instead?
    5. Do I need to buy it now, or can I pause and check in later?

    5 Mental Clutter Busting-Questions:

    1. Is this thought serving me?
    2. Is this thought absolutely true?
    3. How would I feel without this thought?
    4. What is a true thought that could replace this negative thought?
    5. Do I have to think about this now, or can I choose another time to think about it?

    10 Decluttering Mindset Questions:

    1. Does this item reflect my values?
    2. Do I have the capacity to manage this item in this season?
    3. Does it support my current self in my current season of motherhood, or is it aspirational? (focusing on past or potential future)
    4. Would I buy this again, if I didn’t own it already?
    5. How would I feel if this item spontaneously combusted?
    6. If I were moving, would I bubble wrap it and pack it, AND unpack it when I arrived?
    7. Can I recognize this item has value AND I can let it go to experience something better?
    8. If I were to pass away unexpectedly, would I want my family members to have to go through these items?
    9. Am I keeping this “just in case” (which likely means never) or am I keeping it “just for when” with a specific timeframe/season in mind?
    10. Am I keeping this out of guilt or obligation? Why am I feeling guilty? Is it my perception?


    5 Questions to Get Started:

    1. Is perfectionism causing me to put off decluttering? Am I afraid about doing it “wrong”?
    2. If time is my biggest barrier, what is one activity that currently doesn’t serve me that I can replace with decluttering for 10-15 minutes?
    3. When is the ideal time for me to declutter based upon my energy levels and current schedule?
    4. Can I commit to a weekly donation pickup (or drop-off) at a place I feel good about, knowing that I can be more discerning later on?
    5. Does the boundary I’ve selected for this category reflect the value I place on it, and my capacity to manage it?

    BONUS: How do I want this space to feel, function, and flow?

    Resources Mentioned:

    I’m so excited to air my conversation with Shannon Leyko on her podcast Paring Down all about Swedish Death Cleaning.

    The crux of Swedish death cleaning is taking care of your stuff and your affairs now so your loved ones aren’t burdened with it after you pass. It’s an act of love that we can do now, even if we’re not towards the end of our lives.

    Shannon and I discuss:

    • What types of things to declutter and organize today in the off chance we pass away unexpectedly

    • What is "the sign up list" and how does it preserve your family's relationships?

    • What book do we recommend to help you through the process?

    Resources Mentioned:

    Clutter is fraught with emotions - especially guilt - which makes it incredibly difficult to let things go. Combined with aspirations of who we “could” be if we only had the time and energy, it’s a wonder we can get rid of anything.

    In my interview on the No Guilt Mom podcast, host JoAnn Crohn and I chat about:

    • Why we have so much more stuff than previous generations — and why it just keeps coming
    • The real reason decluttering gets put off again and again (hint: it's not that you don't care)
    • How to handle the guilt of getting rid of a gift — especially when the gift-giver asks where it went

    - the benefits of teaching life skills including resilience, confidence, and personal agency

    In this episode, we dive into the “B word” that most people avoid - budgets! Shana and Vanessa, otherwise known as the Budget Besties, share their three step process for simplifying budgeting so that you can stop the financial overwhelm and stress and enjoy living “bougie on a budget”.

    We unpack:

    - how budgets can be a tool for freedom rather than unpleasant restriction
    - how their five column system simplifies your finances WITHOUT tracking
    - why overspending is a byproduct of having one account i.e. the “black hole of transactions” and what to do instead


    Shana & Vanessa are best friends, business partners and master financial coaches who love talking about the *B* word. They help women who make good money but have nothing to show for it set up an automatic budget system that fits their real life and their big dreams so they can be bougie on a budget.

    Between the overwhelming mental load, the endless to-do list, and a disorganized home that keeps you caught in chaos - do you ever feel like you’re drowning…in quicksand?

    In her new book, Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, Lisa Woodruff shares an important, yet painful truth:

    “No one is coming to save you, and you must figure out how to save yourself.”

    In this conversation, we dive into some of the ten strategies she shares in her book, including how to:

    - observe times where we are annoyed or irritated as opportunities to find a better way to utilize our time
    - shift our mindset to working on our households rather than just in them to make us effective and strategic household CEO’s
    - understand the difference between perfectionism and excellence and how it is a game-changer in your home
    - implement Lisa’s effective Sunday Basket method

    Lisa Woodruff is the founder & CEO of Organize 365. She is also the author of the new book Escaping Quicksand: 10 Steps to Overcome the Overwhelm of Modern Homelife, which releases on June 23, 2026.

    Lisa and 87% of Americans believe organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. As the host of the top-rated Organize 365 Podcast, with 24 million downloads & counting, Lisa shares strategies for reducing the overwhelm, clearing the mental clutter, and living a productive and organized life.

    Resources Mentioned:

    Pre-order the book here so you can enjoy perks like the Escaping Quicksand book club where Lisa shares the audio chapters of her book and you can join a community to discuss your progress.

    You have trash bags in hand. You’re ready to tackle that closet, the playroom, that PLACE that’s been driving you nuts. But after a few hours, you’re exhausted. And you’ve barely made a dent. How can you find the motivation to continue when decluttering is SO hard sometimes?

She shares the three steps to finding your deepest why and how enthusiasm for the process of decluttering - not just the outcome - can help us (and our family) stay motivated.
