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.

    054 The Emotional Weight of Fast Fashion with Lucielle Salomon

    Have you ever opened a closet full of clothes and felt like you had absolutely nothing to wear? Lucielle Salomon, fashion editor and founder of the on-demand brand ARIMMA, joins the podcast to explain why our wardrobes often feel like a "Pandora's box" of past identities. We discuss the transition from impulsive consumerism to a values-first approach to style, focusing on high-vibration natural materials and the beauty of owning less. Lucielle shares her journey from fashion journalism to building a sustainable brand rooted in environmental responsibility. We dive into the emotional weight of holding onto clothes from "past versions" of ourselves and how to build a timeless capsule that actually serves your current lifestyle. Whether you are navigating a shift in your career or the identity change of motherhood, Lucielle provides a roadmap for dressing with intention and soul. In This Episode: The Identity Shift: Why we hold onto corporate suits or high heels from a life we no longer lead, and how that "clutter" drains our mental energy every morning. The High-Vibe Closet: The energetic difference between wearing synthetic polyesters versus natural fibers like linen and silk. On-Demand Manufacturing: How the ARIMMA model eliminates warehouse waste by only crafting pieces once they are ordered. The "Carry-On" Strategy: Lucielle’s expert tips for mixing and matching a handful of staples to create weeks' worth of outfits. Redefining Success: Shifting away from "buy to buy" consumerism and moving toward a curated, durable wardrobe that reflects your values. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Practice environmental mindfulness when shopping. Before you buy, ask questions about a brand's sustainability practices and intentionally support companies that align with your values. A clean, organized space creates a lighter mental wavelength. BODY: Prioritize comfort and natural materials. Move away from synthetic fabrics like nylon and acrylic and choose cotton, silk, or linen. Not only do they feel better on your skin, but they also last longer and support better physiological regulation. SOUL: Align your purchases with your values. The name ARIMMA comes from the ancient Basque word for "soul." Treat your wardrobe as a personal reflection of your internal self, ensuring every piece you own feels in alignment with who you are today. HOME: Be the gatekeeper of your sanctuary. Avoid the "bulk buy" mentality and be intentional about every item you bring through the door. By treating your home as a sanctuary, you reduce the visual and emotional noise of clutter.

    053 Tap, Heal, Transform through EFT Tapping with Marilu Wren

    If you have ever found yourself reacting to a situation before your brain even has a chance to catch up, this episode is a must-listen. Marilu Wren, an "Energyologist" and EFT expert, joins the podcast to explain why our bodies store stories that our minds can’t always articulate. From her experience navigating chronic family illness and entrepreneurship burnout, Marilu dives into how we can use "bottom-up" therapies to soothe a dysregulated nervous system and rewrite the neural pathways of fear. We explore why your "protector part" might be flooding you with pain or anxiety to keep you safe and how simple somatic techniques can shift you from survival mode back into flow. Whether it is inherited ancestral trauma or the "modern tigers" of everyday stress, Marilu shows us how to ground ourselves and find safety in the right here, right now. In This Episode: Bottom-Up vs. Top-Down Therapy: Why talking about a problem isn't always enough to shift it if the trauma is stored in the body's connective tissue. The "Modern Tigers": Identifying the everyday stressors—from WhatsApp pings to school runs—that keep our bodies in a permanent state of fight or flight. The Science of Tapping: How kinetic action on meridian endings sends a direct signal to the amygdala to shut down the stress response. Epigenetics and Inherited Fear: The fascinating reality of how we carry the stories and anxieties of our ancestors in our DNA. The Power of the Pause: Moving from a "yang" identity of constant doing into the "yin" energy of receiving and being. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Acknowledge your protector parts. Instead of fighting the anxiety or the "freeze" response, thank that part of you for trying to keep you safe. Have a conscious conversation with yourself to confirm that you are no longer in immediate danger. BODY: Use the power of the exhale. When you are in fight or flight, your breathing becomes shallow. Practice inhaling for a count of 4 and exhaling for a count of 6 to speak directly to your vagus nerve and reset your nervous system. SOUL: Connect to something greater through meditation. Whether you call it the universe, divine source, or mother earth, lean into the belief that you are held and supported. It is the ultimate antidote to the loneliness of dark times. HOME: Clear the energetic clutter. Old energies from arguments, heavy media, or stressful days can linger in a room. Use sound, vibe music, or fresh air by opening all the windows to reset the frequency of your living space.

    052 Taking Back Control Through Forgiveness with Dr. Rhonda James Woodlard

    In this powerful episode, we are joined by Dr. Rhonda James Woolard, a life coach and co-author of A Catalyst Change. Dr. Rhonda shares her deeply personal journey of healing from sexual abuse and the dual process of forgiving her perpetrator and, more importantly, herself. We discuss the heavy "metaphorical weight" that trauma places on the body and how "facing the truth" is the first step in taking back the driver's seat of your life. Whether you are navigating the fog of grief or the shame of a past situation, Dr. Rhonda provides a compassionate roadmap for releasing the guilt that isn't yours to carry. We explore her signature FORGIVE framework and why healing is a lifelong, non-linear process that requires radical self-grace. In This Episode: The Weight of Secrets: How carrying a 40-year secret impacted Dr. Rhonda's mental and physical health and the "unburdening" that happened once she spoke her truth. Forgiving the Perpetrator vs. Forgiving Yourself: Why forgiving others is often easier than releasing the shame and guilt we project onto ourselves. The FORGIVE Framework: A step-by-step guide to healing: Face the Truth Open Your Heart to Healing Release the Weight Grow Through Grace Identify the Impact/Reclaim Identity Voice Your Freedom Embrace the New You The Physical Manifestation of Trauma: The connection between unreleased emotions and physical ailments like high blood pressure, metabolism issues, and weight. Handling Triggers: Understanding that "bad days" are not a sign of failure, but a part of the lifelong journey of healing. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Acknowledge that you are not what happened to you. Give yourself permission to seek professional help through therapy because it is a sign of strength and not weakness. BODY: Move the energy through physical exercise. Whether it is a full workout or simple chair exercises, shifting your physiology helps release the tension stored in your cells. SOUL: Engage in spiritual maintenance through prayer, meditation, or dance. Find a practice that connects you to your purpose and reminds you that you are here for a reason. HOME: Create a physical safe space within your house. Designate an area where you feel completely secure, allowing your nervous system to fully decompress.

    051 The Real Reason Strategy Never Sticks for Mompreneurs with Ayla den Hartog

    If you have ever felt like you are failing at time management or that traditional business strategies just don't stick, this conversation is for you. Ayla den Hartog joins the podcast to talk about why mompreneurs need to stop forcing themselves into boxes that weren't built for them. From her 500-year-old château in France, Ayla coaches women to stop the uphill battle of business by understanding their unique patterns, energy, and direction. We dive into the reality of the mental load, the "curse" of the entrepreneurial brain, and how to finally build a business that coexists with motherhood instead of competing with it. In This Episode, We Explore: The "Brain Farts" List: Why your brain is a processing unit, not a storage unit, and how to park ideas so you can stay present with your kids. Parkinson’s Law for Moms: Understanding why tasks expand to fill the time we give them and how to work with a "splintered" schedule. The Power of a Time Audit: Using reflection instead of judgment to see where your energy is actually going. Menstrual Cycle Syncing: How to align your business tasks with your physical phases so you stop hitting a wall during your luteal phase. The "Red and Green" Boundary: Practical tips for setting physical boundaries with younger children when you need to focus. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Stop carrying around the "cultural clutter" of who you were told to be. If a business strategy feels like an uphill battle, it is a signal that you are fighting your natural wiring. Acknowledge that the "shoulds" of your youth or hometown no longer serve you and give yourself permission to dump the old identity. BODY: Honor the impact your physiology has on your productivity. We spend 99% of our time in our heads, but your body is the vessel that keeps your brain running. Pay attention to the physical signals of fatigue or pain, like a "screaming" toe or heavy limbs, and respect your body's need for rest before your system forces a shutdown. SOUL: Start believing in everything until you find what sticks. Use tools like Human Design or astrology to understand your internal energy blueprint and your soul contracts. When you lean into how you were actually designed to move through the world, you stop looking for external validation and start trusting your own intuition. HOME: Ditch the museum mentality. Your home is a space to be lived in with your family, not a high-pressure exhibit of perfection. If you are in your focused work hours, do not waste that energy on the laundry or the dishes. Communicate clear boundaries, like a red and green sign on the door, so your home supports your business instead of competing with it.

    050 Shifting Out of Survival Mode Through Executive Function with Stephanie Ford

    Do you ever get to the end of your day and find yourself completely unable to decide what to eat for dinner, even though you’ve spent the last eight hours making million-dollar decisions at work? This isn't just "being tired"—it is a physiological state known as decision fatigue, and it is directly tied to our executive functioning. In this episode, Heather Clark chats with Stephanie Ford, an Occupational Therapist from Australia. Stephanie breaks down the science of why high-achieving women often hit a wall and explains how our sensory environment, hormones, and stress levels dictate our ability to think clearly. We dive into the concept of the "Patience Bucket," the difference between glass and rubber balls, and how to use "habit stacking" to stop the slide toward burnout. Inside This Episode The 32-Step Process: Understanding that every "simple" task actually requires a complex sequence of executive functions, and why fatigue happens when those systems are overloaded. Glass vs. Rubber Balls: How to identify which responsibilities will "shatter" if dropped and which ones can safely bounce while you reclaim your energy. The Patience Bucket: Why you can be a diplomatic professional all day but lose your temper the moment you walk through your front door. Sensory Processing at Work: Why open-plan offices might be emptying your tank before noon and how small tools like noise-cancelling headphones can preserve your cognitive power. The 5-Minute Rule: Using tiny, physiological shifts to reset your nervous system when "just meditating" feels like an impossible task. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Stop the "push through" mentality. If a decision feels impossible, it is a signal that your capacity is reached. Acknowledge that your executive functioning is hindered by stress or exhaustion and give yourself permission to step back. BODY: Focus on movement that refills your cup. Whether it is a 15-minute gym session or a walk to the bus stop, getting oxygen and vitamin D shifts your physiology and creates the energy needed for higher-level thinking. SOUL: Recognize the power of emotional regulation. Identify the sensory or calming strategies that work for you—whether it is music, silence, or deep breathing—to prevent your system from tipping into fight, flight, or freeze. HOME: Control your environment. Communicate your needs to your family and set up your space to be low-stimulation after a long day. Dim the lights, use a visual calendar to reduce questions, and create an environment that starts the refilling process the moment you walk in.

    049 Rewiring Your Brain for Sustainable Weight Loss with Lisa Goldberg

    Have you ever found yourself standing in front of the pantry at 9:00 PM asking, "What can I eat?" even though you just finished a full dinner not even 2 hours ago? For many high achievers, the struggle with weight isn't about a lack of nutritional knowledge, it’s about the decades of internal programming and emotional wiring that dictate our relationship with food. In this episode, Heather Clark sits down with Lisa, a clinical nutritionist and weight loss specialist with a master's degree from NYU. Lisa shares her own ten-year journey through the "yo-yo dieting" cycle and explains why weight loss has so much less to do with what’s on your plate and so much more to do with how your brain is wired. We discuss the transition from "dieting" to mindful living, the power of self-belief, and the surprising connection between a cluttered home and a heavy body. Inside This Episode The "Permission" Trap: Why we look to experts for permission to eat when we aren't even hungry, and how to stop negotiating with yourself. Childhood Blueprints: How "clean your plate" mentalities and using dessert as a reward create a subconscious cycle of overfeeding that follows us into adulthood. The Hunger Declaration: Learning to distinguish between "being in the mood for" something and actual physical hunger. Maintenance vs. Loss: Why the fitness industry focuses on the "off" and "on" of dieting, and the mindset shift required to actually maintain a healthy weight for life. The Clutter Connection: Exploring the "level of avoidance" that often links a cluttered environment with physical weight gain. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Pay attention to the internal dialogue. Notice what you are saying to yourself right before you eat something you wish you hadn't. The clues to your habits are hidden in your self-talk. BODY: Reacquaint yourself with your physical hunger signals. Before reaching for a snack, ask: "Am I physically hungry, or is something else driving me to the kitchen?" SOUL: Practice acts of love and kindness toward yourself. When faced with an unhealthy choice, ask: "Am I showing love to my future self by making this choice right now?" HOME: Address the avoidance. Identify a room or a closet you’ve been "pretending" doesn't exist and spend 30 minutes twice a week clearing it. You will feel the lightness in your spirit long before you see it on the scale.

    048 Reclaiming Your Identity from Your To-Do List with Katrine Horn

    For many high achievers, the answer to every problem is "do more." We’ve been conditioned to believe that our worth is tied to our productivity and that pushing harder is the only way to reach our dreams. But what if the secret to your next big leap isn't in the doing, but in the being? In this episode, Heather Clark welcomes Katrine Horn, a coach based in France who helps women move from survival mode into a state of thriving. Katrine shares her journey from a native Dane being told what she "couldn't" do, to moving to London to play the harp, and eventually building her dream life. We dive deep into why high achievers get stuck in their heads as a protection mechanism and how to safely drop back into the body to find your true desires. Inside This Episode The Identity Trap: Why retirement or reaching a major goal often leads to an identity crisis, and how to shift from valuing what you do to valuing who you are. Intellectualizing vs. Embodying: Why we hide in our intellect to feel in control and how to start naming your feelings to normalize them in your subconscious. The Vertical Descent: Taking a desire from your awareness, through the logic of your mind, and down into the body—and how to handle the "blind panic" your nervous system might throw at you. The 1,352 Ways: Why you don't need a foolproof blueprint to start. You only need the first step, and how that step reveals possibilities you couldn't see before. Modeling the Dream: Why "working yourself to death" for your children's future backfires, and why they will reproduce your state of being rather than your words. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Stop sweeping things under the carpet. Awareness is the first step to acceptance. Take those uncomfortable thoughts out, look at them, and stop ignoring the mental clutter that is draining your energy. BODY: Keep it clean. Your body functions best on natural materials. To show up as your best self, reduce the amount of processed food you consume and give your system a chance to function without the extra chemical noise. SOUL: Dust off your dreams. Your desires know the way to your fulfillment. Keep telling yourself, "I will follow my desires," and let them unfold organically rather than trying to force a linear path. HOME: As within, so without. Clutter in your physical environment is often a twin to the clutter in your brain. Tidy up one small area—even if it's just clearing three papers off your desk—to signal to your brain that order is being restored.

    047 Navigating Mental Grief while Managing Motherhood & A Business with Leslie Wright

    Grief isn't just a physical feeling of loss; it is often a "sobbing of the brain" that follows you into your kitchen, your business, and your parenting. In this powerful episode, Heather Clark sits down with event coordinator and author Leslie Marie to discuss the heavy reality of mental grief. Leslie opens up about the sudden loss of her mother and the complex journey of grieving two different versions of the same woman, the mother she loved and the one who struggled with addiction. We explore the "zombie mode" of disassociation, the trap of preserving a "perfect" memory for others at the cost of your own honesty, and how to reclaim your "rights" to feel anger, shame, and eventually, peace. Leslie shares how she transformed her grief into a legacy for her children through creative colouring books and tribute boxes, proving that while you never live without grief, you can learn to live beautifully with it. Inside This Episode The Brain’s Sobbing: Why mental grief often lasts far longer and hits deeper than the physical body's reaction to loss. Grieving the "Wenda" and the "Shirley": Navigating the complicated emotions of losing a parent who struggled with addiction and the guilt of remembering the "not so pretty" stories. Zombie Mode: Recognizing the signs of disassociation—like stirring an empty pot—when you are trying too hard to "keep it cool" for your kids. The Rights of the Griever: Reclaiming your right to memorialize your loved one on your own terms, even if that means being honest about the hard parts. The Shrine vs. The Sanctuary: How physical reminders (like having 600 photos) can sometimes stall your healing, and how to declutter your space to allow for growth. The 4 Pillar Tiny Shifts MIND: Put belief behind your affirmations. Use them to "hush" the unkind voices in your head. Remind your mind of the truth: "I am safe," "I am cared for," and "This loss was not my fault." BODY: Give yourself a "Body Hug." In moments of overwhelm, literally wrap your arms around yourself. Don't underestimate the power of self-soothing through hot showers, self-care, and physical touch when you feel "unrooted." SOUL: Find a "past the mask" person. Surround yourself with people who see through your faking and will go to war with your soul about the truth. Give your soul permission for it to be "okay to not be okay." HOME: Declutter the "Shrine." If your home has become a constant memorial that stalls your productivity, try removing one reminder a day. You aren't deleting the memory; you are simply moving it from your "eyesight" to your "heart space" so you can function again.
