510: How Knowing Your Personality Type Can Help You Declutter

Part 2

Kathi Lipp is back with good friend and Enneagram expert, Lori Young for part 2 of this series: “How Knowing Your Personality Type Can Help You Declutter.” Have you ever heard someone talk about a clutter strategy that has been helpful for them and thought, “there is no way that would work for my personality?” You may be right! Different personality types have different challenges and solutions. Knowing your Enneagram number can help you identify your clutter roadblocks as well as provide insight for getting past them. This week, Kathi and Lori are talking specifically about the heart triad:

  • Type 2: The Helper
  • Type 3: The Achiever
  • Type 4: The Inspirer

If you missed part one of the series, be sure to go back and catch up here, and don’t miss next week’s episode when Kathi and Lori will wrap up the series with information about the head triad.

Overwhelmed: How to Quiet the Chaos and Restore Your Sanity

 

Feeling overwhelmed? Wondering if it’s possible to move from “out of my mind” to “in control” when you’ve got too many projects on your plate and too much mess in your relationships?

Kathi and Cheri want to show you five surprising reasons why you become stressed, why social media solutions don’t often work, and how you can finally create a plan that works for you. As you identify your underlying hurts, uncover hope, and embrace practical healing, you’ll become equipped to:

  • trade the to-do list that controls you for a calendar that allows space in your life
  • decide whose feedback to forget and whose input to invite
  • replace fear of the future with peace in the present

You can simplify and savor your life—guilt-free! Clutter, tasks, and relationships may overwhelm you now, but God can help you overcome with grace.

Kathi and Cheri Gregory, co-author of Overwhelmed, get together for this episode for a little discussion regarding the concepts of being overwhelmed and being clutter-free. So often we find that our clutter overwhelms us and that being overwhelmed contributes to our clutter. It can be a vicious cycle.

Kathi and Cheri discuss five steps to keep from getting overwhelmed as you declutter your home, your heart, and your life. Order your copy of Overwhelmed here.

508: The Great Product Purge

508: The Great Product Purge

Kathi Lipp and Clutter Free OG Tonya Kubo have a challenge for you this month. Do you have a makeup and skin care graveyard in your bathroom? You know the one; the drawer full of old eye makeup you haven’t used in 3 years, and – let’s be honest – looks good on no one? On April 20th, you are invited to join the Great Product Purge. The mission: to purge 50 beauty products of any kind – makeup, cleansers, lotions, shampoos, masks, and all those little hotel bathroom bottles from that pre-pandemic vacation.

Listen in as Kathi and Tonya break down the plan:

  • Dump it all out – the whole drawer
  • Group similar products
  • Look at the expiration dates – if there’s not one, and you can’t remember when you bought it, TOSS IT

Join us on April 20th at 11:00AM PST (2:00PM eastern) in the Clutter Free Academy Facebook Group for a special Declutter with Kathi with special guest Dorothy Strouhal, makeup artist to the stars! If you can’t be there for the live, the replay will be available. So, show up! Kathi doesn’t want you to lose an eye.

507: How to Get through the Crisis

with Susy Flory Author of Sanctuary

Kathi Lipp is here today with her very good friend, Susy Flory for a special conversation about crisis. Have you ever found yourself surrounded by crises and it causes you to feel stuck? Join Kathi and Susy as they talk about Susy’s new book Sanctuary, a story about a man from a tiny village in Ireland who grew up on a donkey sanctuary. When Patrick Barrett left the donkey sanctuary to find his own path, he found himself living through one crisis after another. Listen in as Susy shares the lessons she learned from Patrick including:

  • Reach out when you need to
  • Get outside and into nature
  • Adopt a meaningful morning ritual

If you are feeling stressed out and stuck in crisis mode, you won’t want to miss this episode; and you can get your own copy of Sanctuary here.

For decades, his family rescued lost and forgotten donkeys in the Irish countryside. He had no idea that one day, the donkeys would rescue him.

Patrick Barrett grew up on the back of a donkey. In the small village of Liscarroll, the young boy helped his family run a sanctuary for abandoned and abused donkeys. Struggling in school, Patrick only felt truly accepted in the presence of these funny, fuzzy, touching animals. It was like magic, how he and the donkeys understood each other. He became a true “donkey whisperer”—reading their body language, communicating with them in ways they could understand, and teaching himself how to “speak” in their distinctive calls.

But when Patrick was of age, he shipped out with the Irish Army and encountered unimaginable wartime horrors in Lebanon and Kosovo. In the aftermath, he returned home a broken man, sinking into the depths of PTSD and addictions. He believed nothing could save him. But he hadn’t counted on the donkeys.

Sanctuary is the remarkable true story of how faith turned one lost man’s life around with the help of the rescue animals who loved him. It’s an antidote to despair and a call to hope, revealing the beauty and wonder of Ireland as you’ve never seen it before.

506: My #1 Trick to Staying on Track

Kathi Lipp is flying solo today and is bringing you her very own #1 trick for staying on task. Do you have unfinished tasks during the day? Kathi wants to help you solve that problem with “The List.”

To make your own list, find a notebook that makes you happy and write down the things you need to do – ALL the things you need to do – even if that includes taking a shower. It’s that easy!
Keeping a list will:

  • Help you get stuff done – You have a visual representation of your work
  • Prioritize – Not all tasks are of equal importance or time sensitive
  • Keep your mind clear – Writing it down means you don’t have to keep thinking about it and can focus on the task at hand

Things on your list should take you 5 minutes, so you can keep crossing things off all day long. Once you accomplish a task, you can cross it off the list. And doesn’t crossing things off just feel great?

If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and a short review wherever you listen! This helps us get noticed and spread some more joy and helpful tips. Thank you!

  • Break free from the lies that keep you mired in clutter
