476: Why Can’t I Stay
Clutter Free
With Tonya Kubo
Kathi is here today with her ride or die decluttering partner Tonya Kubo. They’re bringing all the energy as they give us three strategies for overcoming the most common decluttering misconceptions. If you’ve ever thought decluttering should be easier than it is, then you won’t want to miss this conversation. Let’s stop rearranging our stuff or trying to reinvent the wheel each time and start decluttering. Together we can start applying these great strategies today and overcome these misconceptions:
- This should be easier
- You don’t know the people I live with
- Fifteen minutes just isn’t enough time

THE CLUTTER-FREE HOME
When it comes to your home, peace is possible…
Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.
Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality. Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.
