376 | How Your Stuff Steals From Your Purpose

Hi Friends! What if the clutter, the marriage, the job, or whatever you keep trying to fix, isn't actually the thing making you unhappy? In this episode, I share how divorce completely changed what I thought I knew about happiness, family, and letting go. We'll talk about why we give external things so much power over how we feel, how to stop taking responsibility for other people's emotions, and why letting go doesn't mean you made a mistake. Because sometimes the thing you're trying hardest to fix isn't the problem. It's the meaning you've attached to it.

Hi Friends!  What if the clutter in different areas of your home could tell you something about what's happening internally? In this episode, I'm joined by Bonnie Lippincott, biomedical engineer, author, entrepreneur, Reiki practitioner, mom of two, and host of the This Magic Life podcast. Bonnie brings together two worlds we don't often hear discussed in the same conversation: science and energy. We talk about her journey from engineering to writing and entrepreneurship, what she learned from becoming a mother, and how creativity and self-expression helped shape the work she does today. Then we get into chakras, Reiki, and clutter. Bonnie walks us through the seven chakras and explores how each energy center can relate to different areas of our homes and lives. We talk about what recurring clutter might reveal, why letting go can be more than a physical act, and how clearing our spaces can become an opportunity for greater awareness, clarity, and growth. We also talk about something Bonnie calls magic - not necessarily something extraordinary or supernatural, but our ability to notice what is already happening around us. When we become more present and change the way we perceive our everyday lives, ordinary moments can begin to feel very different. About Bonnie Lippincott Bonnie Lippincott is a biomedical engineer, author, mom of two, entrepreneur, Reiki practitioner, and host of the This Magic Life podcast. Her work explores the intersection of science, energy, intuition, personal growth, relationships, parenting, and everyday life.

Hi Friends! In this episode, I'm joined by Tyler Moore, known on Instagram as Tidy Dad, and author of his new book, Tidy Up Your Life, Rethinking How to Organize, Declutter, and Make Space for What Matters Most. Tyler shares how feeling overwhelmed by both physical and emotional clutter led him to rethink what it really means to have a tidy home. We explore how our homes reflect what we value, how to make space for what matters most, and how tidying can support a more intentional life. The paperback edition of Tidy Up Your Life goes on sale tomorrow, so it's the perfect time to hear Tyler's approach to making space for what matters most.

Hi Friends! Press play, head to your bedroom, and declutter with me. In this guided session, I'll walk you through my method, which is a mindful approach that turns decluttering into a moving meditation. We'll arrive in the space, connect with the deeper meaning behind what we're doing, breathe, explore the clutter without judgment, and then notice what becomes possible when we create a little more space. Declutter in Layers Start with one category at a time and make your way around the room: Layer 1: Trash Walk around the room and collect anything that can simply be thrown away or recycled. Layer 2: Clothes Gather clothes and separate what needs to be put away, washed, donated, or let go. Layer 3: Toiletries & Personal Items Collect skincare, makeup, hair products, medications, and other personal items and return them to where they belong. Layer 4: Give Away Look for anything you already know you're ready to donate or give to someone else. Layer 5: Things That Belong Somewhere Else Gather anything that belongs in another room. Put it in a basket or pile to relocate when you're finished. Layer 6: Things You're Still Deciding About Set aside anything you're not ready to make a decision about yet. Don't let one difficult item stop your momentum. Layer 7: Clean Once the clutter is cleared, wipe down surfaces, vacuum, dust, open a window, or do whatever makes the room feel fresh. Layer 8: Put Everything Away Return the things you're keeping to their homes and enjoy the space you created. Hope this helps you!

Hi Friends! What if joy isn't something you find—but something you practice? In this episode, I sit down with Jen Gomez to talk about creating more joy, moving through fear and anxiety, letting go of control, and finding meaning beyond achievement. We explore how simple practices can help us shift our internal state, why giving can feel so powerful, and how the difficult chapters of our lives can lead us closer to purpose. This conversation is about letting go of what no longer serves us—not just in our homes, but within ourselves—and creating more space for joy, trust, and who we're becoming.   Mindful Declutering Course:  https://declutteryourchaos.thrivecart.com/declutter-without-overwhelm/   Email me with COACHING in the subject to make an appointment for free coaching for the podcast.

Hey Guys, This is a raw episode that will help you connect to a deeper sense of worthiness. Which will help you find more ease in letting go.   This episode is about coming home to yourself. Not through buying more. The answers you're looking for aren't outside of you - they're within you. I also share my honest experience with getting being on Instagram, how easy it is to lose yourself in comparison, and why creating feels so much better than consuming. Because when we stop trying to become someone else and start giving from who we already are, we find our way home. I hope this helps you!

To join Monday's workshop click WORKSHOP. Hi Friends, I've been going live on Instagram every morning at 9:00 a.m. Pacific, and today we talked about how clutter is preventing you from living your best life. Our souls are wired for growth. We aren't meant to wake up, go to work, come home, manage piles of stuff, and repeat the same day over and over. We're meant to explore, create, connect, and live fully. So why is it so hard to let go? Because your survival brain wants what's familiar, even if what's familiar is exhausting. Clutter isn't just physical. It's often a nervous system that has learned chaos feels safer than change. Join Me Live I'd love to meet you at my FREE one-day workshop on Monday, July 20. To join Monday's workshop click WORKSHOP.
