While the world seems to be in love with the idea of tiny houses and minimalism, many of us simply can't purge it all and start from nothing. Yet a home with too much stuff is difficult to maintain, so where do we begin? Add in paralyzing emotional attachments and constant life challenges, and it can feel almost impossible to make real decluttering progress.

Story
If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Story
As a woman in today’s world, you know what it’s like to feel pressure on all sides from clashing cultural expectations. How can you stay true to who God has uniquely created you to be in the face of the script you’ve been given? What’s more, how can you stand your ground with grace? The classy confidence you know and love - whether it’s on set at Full House or Fuller House, Dancing with the Stars, The View, or Candace’s Hallmark films - is no act. But it hasn’t come easy. In fact, learning to stay true to herself with grace has been one of the biggest fights of Candace’s life.

Story
It's not you; it's your schedule. Does it sound like magic? It's not. We've all heard of circadian rhythms - those biological processes that give us jet lag and make us night owls or early birds. But few of us know just how profoundly these diurnal patterns affect our overall health. Bad habits - like skipping meals, squeezing in workouts, working late into the night and then trying to catch up on sleep during the weekend - disrupt our natural cycles. A growing body of research on chronobiology reveals just how sensitive the human body is to these rhythms all the way down to the genetic level.

A tender, powerful, and achievable path to the everyday resiliency we all need to navigate the uncertainty in our lives. An inspiring new voice in resiliency, Dr. Robyne Hanley-Dafoe believes that our modern conception of resiliency as “fighting” or being “tougher” is misguided. Learning happens when we are able to trust and feel safe; fear and shame are barriers, not facilitators, for authentic growth, acceptance, and change. Dr. Robyne maps out a kinder approach to taking on the challenges of life and developing authentic self-alignment and balance.

Make use of the info and you WILL see results
Dana is a fountain of knowledge. I purchased the book having already been a fan of hers. Her voice is easy to listen to. She has a lot of great tips and methods and if you actually implement them you WILL see results. Just the way she simplified decluttering changed things for me in a big way. Just like she explains - I was always about efficiency. Come to find out that's what was ruining my progress. I was always making a bigger mess instead of progress.

Perfect for the active or recovering slob
I am a recovering slob and as any recovering slob knows; it’s a process.
Dana White has written a practical, candid, and sincere guide to managing your mess daily. It is written by a slob for a slob and as such really gets how the slob brain works. What I like best about this book is that it calls me out on my own hangups in a meaningful way, without being condescending or chastising.
I love listening as I do my 5 minute pick up or tackle a pile dishes and laundry!
Thanks Dana!

Glad I found this book!!!
Only halfway through the book so far and absolutely love it!!!
Edit!!!! I am officially done the book which I will be re listening to again probably more then once. I spent one entire day in my kitchen washing the dishes and sweeping the floor and wow! Getting it all done took forever! But tonight dishes won't take long which I'll be so grateful for!!! I would recommend everyone to listen to the full book just one time. If it's not for you then that's okay. But it speaks so much truth!!!
For some reason I can't access the PDF that comes with it. Will update my review when I'm done the book.
