Episode 90: How to Move from Overwhelm to Simplicity with Intention & Grace with Allie Casazza
/I have a secret: I have been really struggling with STUFF lately. I am not sure if it's because of pandemic stress, or simply a need to feel safe and secure, but for the past year and a half I have been holding on to a LOT (both physical stuff AND emotional stuff). And I don't think I'm alone in this? Have you been holding on to stuff too? Are you feeling overwhelmed and a bit lost on how to let go and clear the way for a new mindset? If so, hit replay and just type: ME TOO!
Shame lives in the shadows and "ME TOO" is one of the most powerful phrases we can say and hear. It can help us feel seen, heard, known, and not so alone. It capitalizes on the concept from Compassion-Based Mindfulness called "Common Humanity" and it is a vital part of beginning to validate our normal, imperfect human experience. In the spirit of holding to the light that we often wish to hide, I am going to be open and vulnerable with you this week and it is going to be a little different from what we usually do.
For this episode, I am going to be the one who's getting coached by my good friend and amazing colleague about the transformational process of decluttering. Allie Casazza, Decluttering Queen, is on a mission to eradicate the "hot mess mom" stereotype by empowering other women. She has built a massive audience and a multimillion-dollar online business based on her proven, family-oriented approach to minimalism. She is the author of Declutter Like A Mother and the host of The Purpose Show, a chart-topping podcast, and the creator of multiple online programs and courses. Her platforms continue to grow every day as more women discover her life-changing approach to creating an abundant life.
She will be helping me get out of feeling overwhelmed and create more space in my life, my home, and my family. Listen in as she brilliantly coaches me through mindset blocks & shifts I never even knew I needed. Be prepared, I do get emotional in this (it's that deep!) and I hope that my vulnerability in this episode inspires you to a deeper level of honesty and vulnerability with yourself.
Here is a summary of our conversation:
How our home & space reflects our inner state
How to start decluttering different aspects of your life
How to have a more balanced simplified home and family life
How to have more compassion and grace towards ourselves
