What If Clutter ISN’T the Problem? How to Finally Get Organized (with Tracy Hoth)

Send us Fan Mail If you’re an overwhelmed mom who can’t seem to get the shoes on the floor, piles of paper, and messy counters (let alone the people responsible for them) under control, this episode will completely change how you think about home organization.  I'm joined by professional organizer and life coach Tracy Hoth for a refreshingly different conversation about clutter, decluttering, organization, perfectionism, procrastination, and the mindset underneath it all. Contrary to what you think, clutter isn't evidence that you're lazy, incapable, or failing. Tracy and I talk about why even incredibly high-achieving women struggle to get—and stay—organized, the crucial difference between a skill gap and a mindset gap, and how to overcome the negative thoughts that keep you stuck no matter what home organization system you try.  BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU'LL DISCOVER: Why overwhelmed moms accumulate so much clutter (and the resentment that accompanies it) The surprisingly simple definition of what it actually means to be organized Where to start decluttering when everything feels overwhelming Why perfectionists often struggle with home organization the most When organization crosses the line from helpful into controlling How organization can support more rest, peace, and presence Why getting organized isn't ultimately about having a perfect house—it's about creating a life that supports what matters most  And more!   AS MENTIONED: Grab Tracy’s 15-Minute Decluttering Challenge: https://simplysquaredaway.com/declutter Connect with Tracy Website https://simplysquaredaway.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyhoth The Organized Coach podcast: https://pod.link/1687840766    FOR SO MUCH MORE: Find out your default stress response with my FREE quiz: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/stress-response-podcast  Sign up for my “Nervous System 101” masterclass to finally understand your brain and body like never before: https://solutionsforsimplicity.thrivecart.com/ns101/  Join the next round of my Moms Made New so stress no longer sabotages you—or your relationships: https://solutionsforsimplicity.myflodesk.com/mmn-waitlist  Book a free consult with Dr. Amber 1:1: https://tidycal.com/solutionsforsimplicity/free-consult   HOMEWORK: Send me an email or tag me on Instagram @solutionsforsimplicity to share a picture of the most cluttered space stressing you out these days.
