Welcome to The Great Spring Awakening. 🌸
Decluttering coaches have clutter too (shocker!)
Julie's Tupperware cabinet launched an avocado-green ambush.
Janis owned an air popper she used exactly once — to toast spices.
These two walked their talk by tackling their own spring cleaning live, using every method they teach: the Decluttering Dozen, the Keep or LETS-GO sorting system, and Small Do-able Doses. All of it. No hiding.
The bedroom closet moment that broke Julie (and then healed her)
Seventeen unworn dresses. Whispering. "You might fit into us again!"
Julie called Janis mid-meltdown, and what followed was one of the most honest conversations about what clutter actually is - not just stuff, but identity.
The version of ourselves we're afraid to let go of. Pass the tissues. 🥹
When spring cleaning gets real
Their community started sharing their stories - husbands putting things back, moms guilt-tripping over 1992 afghans - and Julie and Janis realized this was so much bigger than drawer organization.
It was about relationships, people-pleasing, boundaries, and all the emotional weight we agree to store for other people.
Cue their special live episode: Spring Cleaning Your Life, Not Just Your Closets.
LETS-GO your schedule too Yes, the sorting system works on your commitments, not just your stuff:
- Keep = commitments that energize you
- LE (Lives Elsewhere) = obligations that belong to someone else
- T (Trash) = things that have outlived their usefulness
- S (Sentimental) = things you only do because you've always done them
- GO (Goes Out) = let it go completely
The real moral of this fairy tale
Spring cleaning your house is good.
Spring cleaning your life is transformational.
And you don't have to have it all together to start = 12 minutes at a time is enough. Progress, not perfection.
Your Challenge This Week:
🏠 Pick one physical space - set your timer for 12 minutes (#DeclutteringDozen), use Keep or LETS-GO, and go.
💛 Pick one emotional space - a draining relationship, a commitment that no longer fits, a "should" that's weighing you down.
You don't have to do it all at once. Small Do-able Doses.
We're right here with you.
