    Countertop Clutter: Why Clearing It Never Works And What Finally Does

    Here's something that *genuinely* surprised me when I started decluttering years ago: only a SMALL percent of what's sitting on most kitchen counters is actually CLUTTER. The rest is something else entirely...which is exactly why clearing it off never seems to stick. In this episode I'll walk you through what's really landing there and exactly what to do with each one, so your counters can finally stay clear for longer than a day! We chat about: 🩺 The medical misdiagnosis that made me realize we do the exact same thing to our homes 🔍 The four main categories that land on all of our counters (and why only one of them is true clutter) 🧺 My favorite habit for the biggest pile, the question I ask every client about their countertop appliances, and where to put the mail so it never reaches your counters Enjoy! 🫧 Aqua Tru Water Purifier → https://home.katyjoywells.com/aquatru (use code MAX for 20% off) // Get 1:1 Support From Me and Finally Declutter Your Home!

    What Faith and Science Teach Us About Stress, Sleep, and Real Rest with Kerstin Lindquist

    There's a kind of tired that sleep alone won't fix. The kind where you wake up already behind, push through the day on caffeine and adrenaline, and collapse at night with your mind still racing. Most of us have come to call this normal life. But what if it isn't? In this episode, I'm joined by Kerstin Lindquist, host of the StRest podcast, certified health coach, and former QVC host, who is doing some of the most important work right now on stress, sleep, and what it really takes to find rest. We get into the hidden cost of running on empty, why so many of us wear stress like a badge of honor, and how faith and science together can actually move us toward the kind of rest we're craving. This one is especially good if you've been feeling exhausted but not sure why, or if you've ever wondered what's really getting in the way of the peace you keep chasing.
