À propos de cet audio

 In this episode of the Anchored with Purpose podcast, Melissa sits down with professional organizer and author Melinda Grace, creator of the Reclaim Your Space with GRACE method. If your home feels overwhelming, your closets are overflowing, and your mind feels just as cluttered as your countertops, this conversation will feel like a deep breath. Melinda shares how God led her from an acting career in New York and LA into professional organizing, and how she began to see that clutter isn’t just “stuff” — it’s deeply connected to our anxiety, faith life, and sense of purpose. She unpacks powerful stories of women whose lives changed as they cleared their homes: new jobs, big moves, finished books, and fresh courage to step into their callings. You’ll also hear Melinda’s GRACE framework for decluttering (Gather, Release, Acquire, Cultivate, Enjoy), how to start where you’re most stuck, and why inviting God into the process can turn organizing from a dreaded chore into a soul-level reset. Whether you’re getting ready for the holidays, dreaming of a calmer new year, or just tired of feeling like you’re drowning in your own home, this episode will help you reclaim your space — and your peace — with grace.

Key Takeaways Clutter is not neutral – research shows it increases cortisol and can contribute to anxiety, fatigue, and stress, especially for women.Your home is a sanctuary – our physical spaces can either support or sabotage our ability to hear God, rest, and live our purpose.Start where you’re stuck – notice which room, corner, or routine makes you feel the most overwhelmed and begin there.Clutter and calling are connected – when women clear space, they often gain clarity and courage for big decisions (moving, writing a book, changing careers, etc.).We attach emotions to objects – sometimes we’re really holding onto memories, guilt, or identity, not just “stuff.”It’s okay to ask for help – inviting a friend, organizer, or coach into your space can be the breakthrough you need.The GRACE framework makes decluttering doable:G – Gather: your goals, your supplies, your items, and even donation optionsR – Release: let go of what no longer serves your current seasonA – Acquire: only then bring in bins, baskets, and design touchesC – Cultivate: practice your new “dance” and rhythms in the spaceE – Enjoy: pause to celebrate, rest, and thank God for the transformation Faith belongs in the process – praying over what to keep, what to release, and where to donate can turn decluttering into a spiritual practice.You’re doing better than you think – moms are carrying a huge mental load; organizing is meant to support you, not shame you.Small changes matter – even tiny shifts like moving glasses closer to the water source or reworking a drawer can save time and mental energy daily.
