How to Get Organized Without Throwing Everything Away! Realistic routines, decluttering tips for busy moms (and why minimalism isn’t the only path to a peaceful home) #170

Living Clutter Free Forever - decluttering tips,home organizing, minimalist living

Ever feel like organizing your home means getting rid of everything you love?
Like the only way to be “tidy” is to own 7 items and live in a beige box?

Yeah... me too. And I’m here to tell you that’s not true.
You don’t have to be a minimalist to be organized.

If your home is full of books, kids, pets, projects, or personality—you are not disqualified from getting organized.
In fact, you might just need a different approach.

In this episode, I’m diving into the real difference between decluttering and minimalism.
We’ll talk about how to create calm and function in your space—without sacrificing your comfort, creativity, or identity.

What if getting your home under control didn’t mean giving up who you are?
What if being surrounded by what you love could still feel peaceful?

I’ll share practical mindset shifts, declutter strategies, and tips for building systems that actually fit your life. Especially if you're juggling family life, neurodivergent kids, ADHD, or just… a lot of stuff.

We’ll talk intentional routines, realistic expectations, and how the KonMari Method® can work for non-minimalists, too.

If you're craving home organization that meets you where you are, this one's for you.
