Decluttering Large Appliances

I focus on decluttering the kitchen, especially the big, often overlooked appliances and cold storage. I start by tackling large appliances—stoves, ovens, dishwashers, microwaves (and even washer/dryer if in the kitchen)—and recommend clearing their tops and surrounding areas, cleaning inside them, and evaluating whether duplicate or nonfunctional appliances should go. For the refrigerator, I walk listeners through emptying it completely, doing a deep clean, checking expiration dates, tossing do

Decluttering the Smaller Stuff in Our Kitchen

I walk you through how to transform your kitchen from chaotic to calm. I start by asking you to envision how you want your kitchen to feel—functional, peaceful, or simply easy to clean—because that vision guides every decision. I take you on a “scavenger hunt” for small appliances, helping you question when you last used them, whether you enjoy them, and if they duplicate other tools. Then we tackle cutlery and utensils by emptying drawers, sorting by category, keeping favorites, and letting go

The Garage

I turn my focus to one of the most intimidating spaces in many homes: the garage. I talk about how garages stop being a home for our cars and instead become black holes for forgotten projects, expired paint cans, broken tools, dusty holiday decorations, old furniture, and boxes labeled “miscellaneous.” Because the garage is out of our main sightlines, it often becomes “storage for indecision” – the place we toss things when we don’t want to decide whether to keep them or let them go. Over time,

Declutter to Sell: Letting Go of Stuff Without Losing the Memories

I dive into the emotional side of decluttering, especially when you’re preparing your home for sale. I talk about how our things carry memories—like the dining room where you celebrated birthdays, a child’s giant papier-mâché project, or that old coat by the door—and how the fear of losing those memories can keep us stuck. I encourage you to “keep the memory, not the item,” and share ways to do that, like limiting collections, taking photos of sentimental pieces, and asking whether each item rea
