Christmas is over. The New Year is upon us. Kathi invited Tonya Kubo, queen of the Clutter Free Academy Facebook group, to discuss the upcoming Kickstart to Clutter Free challenge starting January 2, 2018.

Listen in as they discuss why this program is so effective and how it’s going to work this year (hint, there is bonus stuff and team encouragement!).

We’ll be doing the challenge together from Jan 2- January 16. It’s just 14 days but we get rid of 500 things and make a huge dent in our clutter to start the new year off right. Join us!
