Episode 684: Decluttering for Real Life: Simple Steps for Busy, Overwhelmed Women

Is your clutter making a comeback…again? You tidy up, you declutter, but somehow, all those piles and projects sneak right back into your life. If you’ve ever felt defeated when the mess keeps resurfacing, this episode will speak right to your heart.

Join Kathi and her guest, Tenneil Register, as they unpack the real reasons why lasting organization seems so hard—and how you can break the cycle for good. They talk through absolutely doable steps for busy, overwhelmed women, get real about guilt and grace, and reveal how faith can shift your mindset about home and stuff.

Whether you’re trying the “one-drawer challenge” or just wishing someone else would do the laundry, you’ll find encouragement (with a little laughter!) and practical hope for creating peace in your home that truly lasts.

The episode covers:

• Why emotional attachment to items (like jewelry) can create 'guilt clutter' for women
• Strategies for letting go of items with mixed memories or obligations
• Grace-based systems for organizing jewelry—dishes, velvet trays, pegboards, and creative display tips
• How to involve your family in decluttering (including passing down or repurposing sentimental pieces)
• Celebrating progress and embracing systems that work with your habits—rather than perfection

Kathi and Tenneil reflect on the deeper meanings behind our stuff, how to break free from unnecessary guilt, and practical solutions—from fun “fashion jewelry” displays to full-length mirror organizers.
