Get Your Motor Running: Is Decluttering a Journey—or a Destination? - The Clutter Fairy Weekly #187
In response to a recent survey, an audience member asked, “How do you get your motor running? Is it okay to put the car in Park for a while? Are detours good or bad?” This prompt got us thinking about how much our decluttering process can be like a road trip. In episode #187 of The Clutter Fairy Weekly, Gayle Goddard, professional organizer and owner of The Clutter Fairy in Houston, Texas, talks about traveling light, planning your route (or relying on serendipity), and trying to enjoy the journey as well as the destination.

Customer Reviews
Love the ClutterFairy
Helpful, practical advice that is delivered in a kind, nonjudgmental, and humorous manner.
I’ve listened to the this podcast while decluttering and it feels like I have a friend there with me.
LOVE IT, LOVE IT
The podcasts are motivating, informative , and fun. I don't feel shamed or yelled out, but do get a reality check on how stuff can just get in your way. The kindness of Gayle shows through her words and patience. She always adds some fun to the work. I listen to these by the hours as I work through my chores (yes, I just keep playing through one I have already listened to. ) I appreciate that she isn't pushing products all the time. The conversation feels personal. Ed makes the perfect addition to the duo. He is open and also so kind and careful not judge even our silliest confessions. The friendship between Ed and Gayle makes it such a comfortable conversation. I feel included in their friendship vicariously.
Really useful advice
Down to earth useful advice about organizing. Great to listen to while cleaning your house.
