In this guided decluttering episode, we tackle one of the most avoided office categories: charging cords and old tech. Cords tend to pile up not because we need them — but because we're afraid of being irresponsible if we let them go. Today, we break that belief and walk step by step through how to deal with cords in a calm, practical way.

The 4 Categories of What to Keep as Reference 1. Identity & Legal Documents that establish who you are: Birth certificate Passport Social Security card Marriage or divorce records Name change documents These are foundational and worth keeping accessible. 2. Financial & Tax Documents tied to money and compliance: Last 7 years of tax returns Current-year financial records Property deeds or titles Insurance policies Older financial paperwork is rarely needed beyond this window. 3. Medical Documents that support continuity of care: Vaccination records Major diagnoses or procedures Current insurance information Stacks of old printouts are usually unnecessary. 4. Home Documents related to the home you live in now: Warranties for items you still own Manuals you actually reference Major repair or renovation records If it doesn't support your current home, it likely doesn't need to stay.     If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open.

Hey guys, In this episode, we focus on the Organize step — the point where mental clutter turns into structure. Organizing isn't about making things look neat. It's about deciding where something belongs so your brain doesn't have to keep track of it. Using principles from Getting Things Done, we walk through the core organizing categories and how each one reduces stress when used correctly.   If you want to go deeper and have support decluttering your home consistently, the year-long program is open.

Hey Guys, What if your clutter isn't a sign that something is wrong with you — but a sign of how much you've carried? In this episode Amber reframes clutter through the lens of psychology and the nervous system. Instead of seeing mess as laziness, disorganization, or lack of discipline, you'll learn how clutter often forms as a coping strategy when life becomes overwhelming. This episode explains why clutter can get out of control, why it's so hard to let go, and why traditional motivation-based decluttering never sticks — even when you really want change. ✨Come home to yourself. 💫 If you want to go deeper and have support doing this consistently, the year-long program is open.
