The Declutter Queen

Avery Cundill

The Declutter Queen- a podcast designed to give you tips and tricks on how to declutter your life, physically and emotionally! With our helpful information you can be living clutter free in no time. If you’ve ever looked around your home and wondered how it became so crowded, felt overwhelmed by overflowing closets, or watched as emails piled up in your inbox, this is the show for you. But decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of stuff; it’s about understanding why we hold on in the first place, and how letting go can create space—not only in our homes, but in our minds and lives. In a world of constant consumption and endless upgrades, we often find ourselves surrounded by more than we need, struggling to organize and maintain it all. The clutter can quickly become a source of stress, anxiety, and guilt—impacting our relationships, our productivity, and, most importantly, our ability to enjoy the moments that matter. That’s where The Declutter Queen comes in. Every other week, Avery Cundill, the Declutter Queen, brings you a blend of practical advice, real-life stories, and compassionate strategies for decluttering every aspect of your life. With a supportive and non-judgmental approach, Avery breaks down the habits, beliefs, and emotional attachments that keep us stuck—whether it’s holding onto a sweater you haven’t worn in years, saving every email just in case, or saying yes to too many commitments. Episodes go far beyond tidying tips. Expect deep dives into topics like: - Tackling those notorious "junk drawers" and conquering sentimental clutter - Strategies for digital decluttering, from taming your inbox to organizing your photo library - Custom routines for maintaining order in high-traffic spaces like kitchens, closets, and garages - Letting go of guilt from gifts and purchases, and learning how to say goodbye to things without regret - Decluttering your calendar: making space in your schedule so you can focus on what lights you up - Addressing the mental and emotional roadblocks that make decluttering feel so hard—and celebrating the victories, big and small Along the way, you’ll gain new perspectives on consumer culture, perfectionism, and the stories we inherit about “stuff” and self-worth. Avery combines warmth, humor, and actionable steps, helping you move past overwhelm and into a life that feels lighter, calmer, and more intentional. Whether you’re taking your first steps to clear out physical clutter or ready to dig deep into the mindset shifts that spark lasting change, The Declutter Queen is your trusted guide. Find clarity, reclaim your energy, and make room for joy, creativity, and peace. Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and everywhere you get your podcasts.

    Wardrobe Reset

    I unveil a five-step guide to decluttering clothes, emphasizing the emotional attachment to items. Step one is to pull out all clothes, sorting them into 'yes' (regularly worn), 'no' (damaged or unworn), and 'maybe' (sentimental) piles. Step two involves trying on items to assess their current fit and value. Step three is to set boundaries, like limiting hangers or drawers. Step four is to donate, sell, or repurpose unwanted items. Step five is to let go of items with gratitude. For managing children's mementos, Avery suggests creating three piles: keep and cherish, keep but reduce, and let go. She also recommends using photo and scrapbook boxes for sentimental items. I start by unpacking why it’s so hard to let go of clothes—how identity, memories, guilt, and our “fantasy self” keep jeans from 2012 and sale items with tags still attached hanging around. Then I walk listeners through my five-step, guilt‑free wardrobe reset: pulling everything out, sorting into yes/no/maybe piles, actually trying things on, setting firm space boundaries, and finally donating, selling, or repurposing what no longer serves them. I emphasize that every item takes up mental space and that the real goal is a wardrobe that matches the life you live right now. In the second half, I welcome my friend Christy to talk about kids’ books, toys, and mementos. I share my three‑pile method for sentimental items, plus practical ideas like photo and scrapbook boxes, limits like “one shelf per child,” and the mindset of decluttering now so your kids don’t have to later. Throughout, I keep the focus on progress, compassion, and clarity. Want more Declutter Hacks? I have a newsletter. Sign up here.
