If you've ever looked around your home and thought, "Why can't I just clean this up?"—this episode is for you. In this honest and deeply validating episode, we explore the surprising connection between clutter, low self-worth, and shame. You'll learn how chronic messiness isn't a sign of laziness, but often a reflection of how you see yourself—and how that perception can keep you stuck in a loop of avoidance, overwhelm, and guilt. We also dive into the research behind the shame-avoidance cycle, the nervous system's response to clutter, and why traditional organizing tips don't work when your self-worth is under attack. You'll walk away with practical, science-backed tools to break free from the mental and emotional clutter—and start creating a space that reflects the version of you that's healing and growing.
