Do you ever feel like your home is overflowing with stuff? Like no matter how much you declutter, there’s always more creeping in, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and weighed down by all the things? And what about that constant fear of letting go—just in case you might need something later? If you struggle with holding onto things, feeling like you need to keep everything for the future, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: trusting God with our stuff can free us from that constant worry. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the story of the Israelites in the wilderness, when God provided manna—just enough for each day—and what it teaches us about trusting Him with our needs. We’ll talk about how holding onto too much is a sign that we’re not trusting God to provide for us in the future and how we can begin to release that fear. Join me as we unpack how this story applies to our homes, our clutter, and how we can let go, trusting that God will give us exactly what we need, right when we need it.

| 185 \\ Is Selling Your Stuff Worth Your Time? Or Should You Just Donate It? | 02 Aug 2024 | 00:28:40 | |
Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Have you ever felt that whisper in the back of your mind while you’re decluttering, telling you that what you're getting rid of is good stuff that you could make money off of? We've all been there, caught between the idea of making some extra cash and the desire to just get rid of the stuff that’s taking over our space. It's a tough call, especially when time and energy are already stretched thin. But let's face it, selling things can feel like another full-time job. Photos, listings, messages, meet-ups – it can quickly become overwhelming. And no one wants to pay what you think the item is worth, right? Plus, the time you spend trying to sell each item can add up quickly, leaving you feeling drained and still surrounded by clutter. When you're an ADHD mom, every minute counts. You need to weigh whether the effort to sell your stuff is worth the potential reward or if it’s better to donate and move on. It’s easy to get caught up in the dream of making a little extra money, but the reality is that selling can be a time-consuming and often frustrating process. Imagine the relief of clearing out a whole room in a single afternoon because you decided to donate instead. No haggling, no waiting for buyers to show up – just a cleaner, more peaceful space. It’s tempting to think of the potential earnings, but sometimes the biggest payoff is the peace of mind and the extra time you get back for yourself and your family. In today's episode, my client, Angela, shares her honest experience of trying to make some money from her decluttered items. It was a hard pill to swallow, but she realized she just needed to let the items go and gain back her time instead of her money. Join us as she shares her experience.

| 182 \\ Summer Decluttering with Real Moms - Bedtime Routines and Systems for Your Kids | 16 Jul 2024 | 00:18:59 | |
Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Are your evenings a chaotic free-for-all, with kids running around at all hours and you collapsing into bed, exhausted and craving just a moment of peace? Without a consistent bedtime routine, many parents find themselves trapped in this cycle, sacrificing their own well-being and personal time. But what if there was a way to reclaim your evenings while also benefiting your children's development? Establishing a bedtime routine isn't just about getting kids to sleep—it's about creating structure that supports their growth and your sanity. Children thrive on predictability. A consistent bedtime routine helps regulate their internal clocks, leading to better sleep quality and duration. This, in turn, supports their cognitive development, emotional regulation, and physical health. Regular sleep patterns can improve attention spans, boost learning capabilities, and even strengthen immune systems. Moreover, a well-structured bedtime creates opportunities for meaningful connection. Whether it's through reading stories, sharing the day's events, or simply cuddling, these moments become cherished rituals that strengthen your bond. By implementing a bedtime routine, you're not just setting your kids up for a good night's sleep—you're laying the foundation for better behavior, improved academic performance, and overall well-being. And as an added bonus, you might just find yourself with that elusive personal time you've been craving. My student Bethany didn't know how beneficial a bedtime routine could be for her four girls until she joined The Accountability Club. Now she's implementing systems and routines that provide more peace throughout her day as a stay-at-home mom.

Coaching for Cluttered Christian ADHD Mom Is your child's playroom overflowing with toys, making you feel overwhelmed and your little one unable to focus?

Moreover, a decluttered space can significantly reduce stress for both parents and kids. My client Gloria had to face some tough truths about her kids' playroom. By having a designated playroom, she realized her children weren't taking ownership of their toys.

If you're like many ADHD moms, time management might seem like a never-ending battle. You're juggling kids, meals, work, and maybe squeezing in a moment for yourself—only to end up feeling like you've barely made a dent in your to-do list. When it comes to how we spend our time, our choice is usually dictated by whatever is needed by our kids and family. It's like spinning plates, right? We rush around trying to keep all the plates spinning at the same time. But the one plate we neglect that sadly ends up toppling over most times is our own basic fundamental needs. So many times we push our own needs to the back burner, thinking we'll get to it "later." By the time we're done taking care of everyone else, it's just more work to focus on taking care of ourselves. But what if prioritizing your fundamental needs could actually help you handle everything else better?

As an ADHD mom, managing the clutter in our homes often feels like we’re trying to hold water in our hands—no matter how hard we try, it just keeps slipping through. We see the endless piles of laundry, the kitchen counters buried under who-knows-what, and the kids’ rooms that look like mini tornado zones.

Decluttering can be emotionally hard at times! Decluttering is especially hard for ADHD moms who lack the executive function of emotional control which is your ability to manage your feelings to achieve your goals. It's like each object has its own story, a piece of our history, making the decision to keep or let it go feel impossible. The guilt of letting go can be particularly paralyzing. Maybe it's the guilt over money spent on things barely used, or the guilt from parting with gifts from loved ones. Or perhaps it's the sadness of acknowledging that certain phases of life are over, like the baby years, as we fold away tiny onesies our children will never wear again. These emotions can make us feel stuck, weighed down by the physical and emotional clutter in our lives. However, learning to let go of the old makes room not just in our homes but in our hearts and minds, for new experiences, relationships, and dreams.
