Hi friends! 

I have an awesome book to giveaway: Making Home Your Happy Place. A Real Life Guide to Decluttering Without the Overwhelm by Katy Joy Wells, host of The Maximized Minimalist podcast.

I found this book interesting. I never gave too much thought to the clutter that most of us deal with on a regular basis nor the mindsets or the pyschology behind it all that keeps us stuck. More often than not, my way of dealing with clutter is just to quickly shove things into our drawers or closets before guests arrive. 

I love Katy’s quote from her book: “Most people don’t struggle with clutter because they are disorganized or lack will power. They struggle because traditional advice focuses on the stuff, not the root cause behind it.”

Getting to the Root Cause of Clutter … 🌷

Katy transformed her cluttered/stressful home into an organized, calm space where she has time to relax with family. Her holistic approach to removing clutter and keeping it out helped many families get to the root cause of it.

Katy shares proven tools that have helped many simplify their routines, regain control and live with greater ease.

Katy writes: “No bins, storage solutions, or marathon clean outs. Just a real approach to understanding why the clutter is there in the first place, and realistic, doable shifts so change can finally happen.”

Have you been overwhelmed by clutter and the mental load of daily responsibilities? It’s time to break free from chaos and create a home that works for you, using a fresh new approach to decluttering that will simplify your space and reduce stress, freeing up your time and energy. In Katy’s step-by-step guide, you’ll discover how to:

1. Overcome the overwhelm with actionable strategies to break through mental and physical clutter, so you can regain control and start moving forward.

2. Declutter with confidence by using proven techniques to tackle your home with clear, actionable steps that will bring immediate results and visible progress.

3. Uncover the deeper roots of clutter by identifying the emotional ties, limiting beliefs and habits that keep you stuck and learn how to release them with clarity and compassion.

4. Create effortless systems to maintain a peaceful home that works for you, making organization feel natural and sustainable in your everyday life.
