Declutter for CHANGE

Heather Clark

The Declutter for CHANGE Podcast is for women who have done everything “right” and still feel tired, restless, and quietly disconnected from themselves. We’re not just talking about stuff. We’re talking about the mental load you carry. The emotional labor you never put down. The version of you that keeps everything running but is slowly running herself into the ground. I’m Heather Clark, Life Declutter Strategist. I believe clutter shows up everywhere, in your MIND | BODY | SOUL | HOME, and that change doesn’t happen by adding more habits or trying harder. It happens when you stop carrying what was never meant to be yours. The podcast challenges the idea that exhaustion is normal, questions the identities you’ve built your life around, and gives you practical ways to let go so you can create space for calm, clarity, and a life that actually feels like yours again.

    039 Authenticity... WTF Does That Even Mean

    In this episode of Declutter for Change, Heather Clark strips away the "staged performance" of authenticity often seen on social media to define what it actually means to be real. True authenticity isn't a curated aesthetic or recording your "ugly cry" for likes; it is the grit required to live according to your own values rather than the expectations of parents, partners, or society. For high-achieving women, the disconnect from self often starts as a survival tactic. You are rewarded for "having it all together," so you maintain the act to keep your status until you hit burnout. You trade your truth for a sense of belonging, choosing to fit in rather than cause disruption. Your body often recognizes the lie before your brain does. Signs you are out of alignment include: Exhaustion: Draining your battery just to get through basic social interactions. Resentment: Feeling bitter because you said "yes" when you meant "fuck no". Physical Cues: Experiencing a tight chest, shallow breathing, or a constant knot in your stomach. Healing happens when you stop performing and realize you are allowed to just stop the act. Authenticity means being in the moment, absorbing your feelings, and asking if your life reflects what you actually believe. By choosing to live for yourself instead of managing others' comfort, you find the people who truly adore you for who you are. MORE INFO:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.declutterforchange.com/links/⁠

    034 Guest Show: Breaking Generational Traumas

    Today’s episode is a special one, I was invited to be a guest on “Riffin About Life” with Brian R. King. This has been my first guest appearance in 2024 and let me tell you something……it’s great to be back!  I’m dedicating this week’s podcast episodes to Brian’s and my conversation (not edited on my end) so you can hear the full ADHD way of how our Riffin’ went. If you’re neurotypical, you might find this episode a bit much as we do go all over the place and back again in the typical ADHD fashion. haha Before I play it for you, I want to introduce you to Brian; “Brian has a Master's Degree in Social Work and is the father of three boys with Autism and ADHD. After receiving the same diagnosis himself, he went on to write 5 books and become a recognized specialist in the field. With a unique approach to helping parents, and educators connect with their children who live with these unique challenges, Brian's captivating, interactive presentations, and programs continue to change lives around the world. His message of self-compassion, resilience, and the importance of working together is one we all need to hear.” I’ll put ways to get in touch with Brian and all the relevant links in the description below as well as in the SHOW NOTES: DeclutterForCHANGE.com/generational-traumas MORE INFO:⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.declutterforchange.com/links/⁠ Brian R.
