In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Carrie Locklyn—a woman whose journey is as inspiring as it is entertaining. From her early days as a backup dancer for Mariah Carey (yes, you heard that right!) to touring the world with iconic stars, Carrie’s story is one of fearless reinvention. I was blown away as she shared how she moved from the dance floor to embracing the art of organization, transitioning into an HGTV star and mastering the craft of interior design.

We dove into the real, unglamorous side of life on TV—talking about everything from lugging boxes in messy hotel rooms to finding beauty in the chaos of decluttering. Carrie’s down-to-earth approach, her knack for mixing humor with practical advice, and the way she champions taking risks, even if it means failing spectacularly, truly resonated with me. I was especially struck by how she balances the art and science of organizing—turning everyday clutter into a canvas for a soulful, personal space.

Tune in for a spirited conversation packed with laughter, tough truths, and a whole host of behind-the-scenes stories that remind us that sometimes, saying “yes” to life’s challenges is the boldest design choice of all.

Hey Clutterbugs! This episode is all about decoding the secret link between your love language and the clutter driving you nuts. Think of your home as a love letter to yourself—except sometimes it’s written in messy handwriting! We’re chatting about how your emotional needs (hello, Acts of Service lovers and Gift-Giving hoarders!) shape your clutter habits, why that pile of “maybe someday” clothes is really a cry for affirmation, and how to turn your space into a sanctuary that actually loves you back.

I’ll spill how my mother-in-law’s not-so-subtle love language book gift 23 years ago changed my marriage, and tell you why decluttering isn’t about perfection—it’s about making room for what truly fills your cup. Whether you’re a Physical Touch avoider (guilty!) or a Quality Time host drowning in doom rooms, we’ve got laughs, “aha!” moments, and real-talk tips to align your home with your heart.

Plus, I’m answering YOUR questions—like how to stop knitting needles from taking over your couch and why merging a Ladybug’s chaos with a Cricket’s minimalism is totally possible. Spoiler: Labels are magic.

If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “How did I end up here — and where the heck are my shoes?” — this episode is for you. Whether you're stuck in a shame spiral over clutter, afraid to start because you might fail (again), or dreaming of a better life but don’t know how to take that first step… you are so not alone.

In this raw and honest episode, I share the unfiltered story of how I went from total chaos (like, literal hoarder-level mess, bad decisions, and breaking the law kind of chaos) to finding purpose, peace, and a really clean kitchen. We walk down memory lane — from ADHD-fueled disasters to building the Clutterbug community, from a flip cam and a dream to YouTube, books, podcasts, and even a fire truck (yup, you read that right).

This one’s not just a highlight reel — it’s a messy, hilarious, and heartfelt reminder that you don’t need to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just need rules, limits, vision boards, and a dash of delusional self-belief. You’ll hear the power of finding your people, discovering your style, and finally realizing that you’re not messy — you just organize differently.

✨ We chat about:

• What it’s really like to fail (a lot) and keep going anyway
• The chaotic backstory behind Clutterbug (and how it almost didn’t happen)
• Vision boards, viral videos, and how to manifest your dream life — one basket at a time
• How “It’s not a cat” became a clutter mantra (and a t-shirt!)
• What to keep when you’re living in a “temporary but forever” space
• Why your kids don’t think you’re cool — even if you’re a YouTuber
• The life-changing magic of saying “I deserve this” — and meaning it

👇 What’s your chaos-to-clarity moment? Have you ever embraced your weird, chased a wild dream, or told yourself “I deserve this”? Let’s chat in the comments — and if this episode made you laugh, cry, or finally toss out that third crockpot, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share with a friend who’s also building their own beautifully messy, magic-filled life.

If you’ve ever stared into your sock drawer and felt a little dead inside, overwhelmed, or just plain fed up — this episode is for you. Whether you're constantly late because your toothbrush situation is out of control, exhausted by “what’s for dinner” decisions, or feeling like your cluttered home is zapping your energy, you are not alone.

In this episode, we dive deep into the sneaky thief known as decision fatigue — and how your stuff might be stealing more brainpower than you realize. From chaotic mornings to cluttered kitchens and overloaded brains, I share how I went from hot mess to happy mornings by simplifying my space and eliminating unnecessary choices. We chat about the psychology behind decision overload, how clutter creates mental noise, and the simple systems that can give you back hours of your life (and your sanity!).

This isn’t just a pep talk — it’s a push to finally make decluttering easier, faster, and way less painful. You’ll learn how to stop overthinking, break the guilt cycle, and use powerful methods like “Yes/No Decluttering” and the 10-second Doom Box rule to get unstuck and make real progress — even on your worst days.

✨ We chat about:

• What decision fatigue really is — and how clutter causes it
• Why your sock drawer (and kitchen gadgets) might be draining your energy
• 3 sneaky types of decluttering decision-makers (and how to break the cycle)
• How marketers exploit your decision fatigue (and how to fight back)
• The magic of limiting your choices — and how it saves your brain
• Time-saving hacks like the 90-second reset and the “I trust your judgment” mantra

👇 What’s your personal “decision fatigue hotspot” at home — and what are you doing to simplify it? Let’s chat in the comments!

And if this episode made you feel seen (or made you finally toss that third French press), don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with a friend who’s also ready to reclaim their energy, one decision at a time.
