Episode 664: Transform Your Underwear Drawer: Tips for a Peaceful Start to Your Day

April 8, 2025

In this laugh-out-loud and surprisingly transformational episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp and Tonya Kubo dive deep—literally—into the drawer that gets no love but causes a whole lot of frustration: your sock and underwear drawer. From chicken footprints and Sharpies to mismatched socks and holy underwear, they uncover the oddities that sneak into this tiny space—and provide the simple steps you need to bring peace and order to your most intimate drawer.

Why worn-out socks and too-tight undies deserve a swift exit
The magic number of pairs you really need (based on your lifestyle!)
Kathi’s favorite affordable organizing tools (spoiler: cereal boxes included)
What to do with all the random stuff hiding in your drawer
Why your underwear drawer should be the least stressful part of your day
