How are decluttering, depression, overwhelm, & spirituality related? Well... today’s episode dives into how your home and your inner world are connected, and why clutter can make depression and overwhelm worse. And what to do about it! Have you ever looked around your house and thought, “I just can’t do this anymore”? The dishes, the piles, the endless to-dos… and before you’ve even had your morning coffee, you feel buried. You’re not alone — and you’re not broken. In this episode of Declutter Your Chaos, Amber shares her own lived experience with anxiety, depression, and clutter — and how a profound spiritual awakening cracked her open and changed everything.

Hy Friends, Do you ever feel like rebelling against housework is your way of saying “I’m not playing this game”? 🙋‍♀️ Maybe you leave the dishes, ignore the laundry, or let the clutter pile up because it feels like freedom. Here’s the paradox: sometimes saying no to chores is self-love. And sometimes saying yes to chores is also self-love. The key isn’t the task—it’s the energy and mindset you bring to it. In this episode of Declutter Your Chaos, I’ll show you how to: ✨ Recognize when skipping chores is actually an act of rebellion that honors your needs. ✨ Reframe cleaning as a radical act of self-love (instead of an obligation). ✨ Use one simple question before every task: Am I rebelling through self-love, or am I tending through self-love? ✨ Shift your mindset so that even ordinary chores become an opportunity to recharge, restore, and remind yourself of your worth. We’ll dig into research on motivation, stress, and cognitive reframing—and I’ll give you approachable practices to help you check your energy in the moment. Because when you change the why behind your chores, you change the way you feel in your home. So whether you’re resisting housework or craving order, this episode will help you find peace in the paradox.

Ever feel like decluttering is just one more chore on your endless to-do list? In this episode, I share the story of moving into a new neighborhood, feeling completely alone, and how a simple plate of cookies helped me shift my energy from isolation to connection. Decluttering works the same way. When we reframe it from “I have to get rid of this” to “I get to give this,” the whole process transforms. Instead of feeling like drudgery, letting go becomes a privilege — a chance to create space, share abundance, and invite new energy into your life. If you’ve ever struggled to stay motivated while decluttering, this perspective shift will change everything.   XO, Amber   🙌 Declutter Your Chaos helps women clear clutter, without overwhelm and perfectionism.  Join your journey with Amber today at www.declutteryourchaos.com 🔍Follow along on Instagram for more helpful tips and updates:  🌟 Follow on Instagram Join my email list for updates by downloading your free decluttering planner: https://declutteryourchaos.com/decluttering-planner 💬 Love the show?
