332 Why Your Decluttering Keeps Failing and What Actually Works with Katy Joy Wells
You're exhausted from managing your house. The clutter feels endless. You've tried the methods, bought the bins, pulled everything out of your closet, and asked if things spark joy. Nothing sticks. A few weeks later, you're right back where you started, wondering what's wrong with you.
Katy Wells spent years in that same cycle until she realized something crucial. Traditional decluttering treats all clutter the same, which is why it keeps failing. In this conversation, we talk about her holistic approach that looks at you, not just your stuff. We dig into why some rooms feel impossible to declutter while others are easy, what "good enough" really means when you have kids making messes, and how to stop tying your self-worth to the pile on your counter. If decluttering has always felt like an uphill battle, this episode will finally explain why.
In This Episode, I'll Cover:
- Why pulling everything out and starting over keeps backfiring
- The four types of clutter hiding in your home (and why each needs different tools)
- How to declutter identity and sentimental items without the guilt spiral
- The "good enough home" framework that reduces stress instantly
- Why clutter is literally spiking your cortisol levels like a threat
