This episode dives deep into why so many women feel overwhelmed at home — not because they’re unmotivated or “bad at organizing,” but because the brain responds to clutter, decisions, novelty, transitions, and loneliness in predictable ways. I am answering four listener questions, weaving in practical organizing strategies and specific scientific concepts discussed in the episode, including:

• Decision fatigue and temporary disorganization bias — why dumping grounds appear during remodels and life transitions

• The novelty effect, executive function fatigue, and habit friction — why systems stop working even when you set them up well

• The Zeigarnik effect and task-switching overload — how unfinished tasks drain mental energy and fuel the “I can’t follow through” spiral

• Micro-wins and dopamine — why breaking projects into 5-15 minute tasks changes everything

• Freeze responses, low internal reward cues, cognitive overload, and living alone — why some women feel powerless to begin

You’ll also hear faith-rooted encouragement on stewardship, caring for your home as part of wellbeing, and showing up for yourself the same way you show up for others. Whether your home is “not that bad” or completely overwhelming, this episode gives you the scientific understanding — and the small, doable steps — that help you finally move forward.

This episode is for the Christian woman who wants a fresh start but feels stuck, scattered, or surrounded by things she didn’t mean to keep. Instead of waiting for the “right mood” or a wide-open weekend, we’re using a powerful strategy: body doubling.

Following along in real time, you’ll declutter 50 items that take 10–60 seconds each. Pens, old receipts, mystery cords, stretched-out scrunchies, expired spices, broken toys, duplicate kitchen tools — tiny things that create big visual and mental clutter.

By the end of this episode, you’ll: • Clear space quickly • Build momentum • Feel lighter and more in control • Have a repeatable process that you can activate any time • Create a sense of calm heading into the New Year!

A Thanksgiving devotional for Christian women in a slow season—faith, timing, and hope when the waiting feels long. If you’re walking through a slow or quiet season—building new habits, strengthening your faith, healing, or trying to create order in your home—this Thanksgiving devotional is for you. In today’s episode, Kristina shares the story of David and Solomon and the seven-year building of the first temple as a reminder that God works powerfully in the long road, not just the quick breakthroughs.

This short but heartfelt devotional will encourage you to trust God’s timing, release the pressure to rush ahead, and recognize that obedience in your “not yet” season still matters deeply. Your progress may feel hidden, but your purpose isn’t. God is shaping you just as much as the work you’re building.

You’ll hear biblical encouragement, practical reflection, and a closing prayer for the Christian woman navigating a slow build, a waiting season, or a time where the fruit hasn’t yet shown up. This Thanksgiving, may you find comfort in knowing that God wastes nothing—especially not your waiting.

Scriptures Mentioned: 1 Chronicles 23 1 Chronicles 22:9–10 1 Kings 6:38

In this episode, I’m sharing five simple steps to help you declutter the leftover holiday chaos, reset your spaces, and start the new year with more peace, order, and intention.

You’ll learn how to:

• Organize decorations, lights, and ornaments so they’re easy to unpack next year • Sort and store cards, keepsakes, and photos without losing their meaning • Simplify your holiday storage systems so Christian home organization feels lighter, not overwhelming • Reset the spaces and routines that carried the weight of the holiday hustle • Reflect with purpose on what worked this season — and what needs to change heading into 2026

This conversation is all about creating space for a fresh start in your mind, in your heart — clearing the visual and mental clutter so your home, routines, and heart are aligned with what God is calling you into next. And I can't wait to hear what that may be.

Hey friend — the holiday season is almost here! And before the pace picks up, I want to pause with you and look at the heart of how we enter it.

Because the season can be full of joy… or full of overwhelm. And a lot of that comes down to how we prepare our space, our schedule, and our spirit before the celebrations begin.

So I want to ask you something:

What would it mean if this year didn’t feel rushed? If your home felt peaceful to walk into… If your days had breathing room… If joy didn’t feel like something you had to chase — but something that was already present?

This episode is the first in a gentle, practical mini-series to help you create margin for the season ahead — not by doing more, but by clearing space to receive the joy that’s already yours in Christ.

This is about preparing the atmosphere — inside your home and inside your heart.
