Welcome to Declutter Your Chaos, the podcast for women who are ready to take control of their homes and their lives. I'm Amber, and I know firsthand what it feels like to live in a house full of clutter while juggling work, kids, and a million other demands. This isn't about perfection or Pinterest-worthy pantries. This is about reclaiming your space—and your peace. Each episode blends practical, bite-sized decluttering strategies with a mindful, no-nonsense approach to the deeper emotional patterns that keep you stuck. We'll uncover the "why" behind the clutter, reset your habits, and help you create a home that actually supports the life you want to live. You'll learn how to: Declutter in realistic steps (even if you only have 15 minutes) Interrupt overwhelm and self-sabotage with compassion and awareness Create systems that stick—because they're built around you, not what Instagram says your home should look like Whether your clutter is physical, mental, or emotional, you're not alone—and you're not broken. You're just ready for a change. Let's do this together. Welcome to Declutter Your Chaos. xo, Amber

    287 | Decluttering Workshop | 8 Strategies to Help You Decide What to Declutter

    Hey Guys,   Here are 8 rules, or boundaries, you can give yourself while decluttering.  Don't try to use them all.  Just try one or two and use what works for you.   Strategy 1: Clear Decision Criteria Before you touch anything, you give your brain rules to follow.  This keeps you out of emotional negotiation. Ask yourself: Do I use this regularly?   Does it serve a real purpose in my life right now?   Would I buy this again today?   Does it align with who I'm becoming?   Strategy 2: Binary Decisions Yes = it stays. No = it goes. Maybe = it goes in a 30-day box. If you don't touch it in 30 days, it's gone.     Strategy 3: Set Limits Clutter thrives without limits. Space limit: A shelf, a drawer, a bin. When it's full, something must leave.   Quantity limit: Only keep the number you actually use.   Time limit: Work in short, focused bursts to avoid decision fatigue.     Strategy 4: Tests for Clarity If this disappeared today, would I replace it? Does this item fit the life I'm creating, or is it tied to a past version of me?     Strategy 5: Function Over Story Sentiment is valid, but function decides what stays in your active space. Keep the memory, not the object.   Take a photo if needed.   One small sentimental box only. Clear boundary.   Strategy 6: Exit Strategy Every item needs a destination the second you decide. Donation box.   Trash bag.   Maybe box with a date.   Drop-off or pick-up scheduled.   Strategy 7: Decision Hierarchy   Function trumps sentiment   Space trumps guilt   Future trumps past     Strategy 8: Prevent Backslide Touch once. Decide once. Use post-its with the destination of object written on them to help with this. Hope this helps!

    286 | Decluttering Workshop | How to Declutter Sentimental Items

    Here's the link to sign up for the Workshop: https://declutteryourchaos.com/workshop   Here is a link to the facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/declutteryourchaos/   Here are the steps we talk about in the workshop so you have them handy:    Step one: NOTICE THE BODY Grab the object you are attached to.  Touch it.  NOW notice what's happening in your body, Not your thoughts. Tight chest Clenched jaw Shallow breath These are signals of attachment   Step two: NAME THE FEELING Say out loud what's under the resistance:  fear of loss, regret, scarcity, control.  Naming interrupts the automatic grip.   Step three: SEPARATE THE OBJECT FROM THE EMOTION Remind yourself the feeling lives inside you, not the object.  The object isn't safety, the mug, the jacket, the pants, the bracelet…it isn't safety, it isn't identity.     Step four: REGULATE Slow steady breathing or grounding (touching a wall, pressing your feet into the floor) calms the nervous system...once your body settles letting go stops feeling so dangerous.   Step five: RELEASE Only after the shift happens. The shift from placing your emotions on the object, people let go more easily because the charge is gone.  The emotional charge.    Hope this helps!
