Why I Declutter

I’ve never been naturally tidy, and I’ve never been a minimalist, so I have a long, mostly unhappy, history with clutter.

Add in mental health struggles (depression, anxiety), physical health struggles (who knew just how bad and chronic plantar fasciitis could turn out to be), ADHD, a family, real life….

It’s not always pretty around here.

I’m creating Why I Declutter, because I believe that change doesn’t happen unless we truly want it to happen – and that sometimes we’re not even sure what we’re trying to achieve. 

“More peace,” “more space,” “more authenticity” – the decluttering world throws these terms out like candy in a parade, but what does that really mean? On an everyday basis?

Real life examples of decluttering motivation and success, plus proof that you are not alone – that’s what I want you to find here!
