201 | Manifesting Internal Boundaries05 Nov 202400:26:13

Hi Guys!

In today's episode, I'm thrilled to share insights from a new moon meditation practice I attended last night. This episode dives deep into the transformative power of manifesting and the importance of internal boundaries. 

  1. Start Small -  Begin your journey of self-work with manageable commitments.
    2. Prioritize Yourself - Recognize the importance of keeping promises to yourself.
    3. Embrace Change -  Understand that changing your internal dialogue is crucial for personal growth.
    4. Manifestation and Commitment - Use the new moon as a catalyst for setting intentions and commitments to yourself.

As we embrace the new moon today, I encourage you to take a moment for yourself. Whether it's a few minutes of quiet or a simple promise, let this be the start of a deeper commitment to yourself.

200 | EXACTLY Where to Start When Decluttering31 Oct 202400:20:02

Happy Halloween, everyone! 🎃

In this episode, Amber opens up about her journey to authenticity and the importance of mindfulness. She shares a touching review from listener Shelly that resonates deeply with her mission to create a real, supportive community. 

Key Points:
Mindfulness & Authenticity:Amber reflects on the effort behind her authentic self, emphasizing that being real involves work—meditation, grounding techniques, and mindful choices.
  
The Power of Small Actions: Amber discusses how little decisions, like picking up clothes, can lead to significant changes in our lives. It's about engaging with life and approaching tasks with self-love rather than victimhood.

Decluttering Strategy:
Just Begin:The key to starting decluttering is to let go of overthinking. It's okay to start anywhere!
 Focus on Specific Areas:Instead of tackling entire rooms, Amber suggests breaking down tasks into smaller, manageable areas to avoid overwhelm.
  
Decluttering Planner:  Amber introduces her downloadable decluttering planner...

199 | The $20 Purchase That Has Changed My Life...and will yours too24 Oct 202400:20:50

Hey Guys,

In this episode, I share about how a simple $20 whiteboard transformed my life and can do the same for you. I introduce the concept of a communication system that helps families stay organized and on the same page about daily schedules. By writing down the day's events, activities, and even chores, the whiteboard serves as a visual reminder for everyone in the household. But it can also serve as an accountability manager, a planning tool, and a mindfulness prompt.

Here is a link to the whiteboard I bought but any will work!

Hope this helps you!

Hey guys!

Hi guys!

In this episode I talk about simplifying your categories when decluttering a very cluttered space, like a garage.  The more simple you make the categories, the less emotional and the less energy your project will take.  We want to make the project so simple that it's like working out: a physical rather than an emotional experience.

Friends,

Back to school time presents anxiety but also structure...In this episode I talk about the three things that will save you time and make you feel great, have less anxiety, and save you time:

  • Kids' paper
  • Kids' routines
  • Commitments to yourself

Remember: without holding them and yourself accountable, you won't get very far.  So set yourself up for success by commiting to your few things weekly, rather than daily.  Listen to the episode to find out how.

186 | Are You Over-Functioning? Here's How to Tell08 Aug 202400:23:32

Hi Guys,

Just because we CAN take care of everything doesn't mean we SHOULD take care of everything.  We are capable of doing so much - taking care of the kids, the house, the spouse, the driving, the scheduling, the shopping, the cooking, everything - but when this becomes our life to the degree that we have no time to appreciate the small moments we know it has gotten out of hand.  It's time to step back, delegate, declutter and take care of you.  Give yourself some space.

181 | How and When to Say Goodbye to Sentimental Items When Decluttering | How to Declutter Meaningful Memorabilia18 Jul 202400:16:47

Hi Friends!  In this episode I talk about a client who I worked with who let go of a lifetime of memories and did NOT regret it.  The biggest take away from this episode is that it is normal to feel sad when letting go of items that were meaningful, but you still won't regret it.  It's okay to feel the sadness because it's a loss.  But when you open up your space you allow yourself to grow, and that's what we all want - that's what makes us feel good - growth.

Hi Guys! 

In this episode I talk about how clutter creates stress.  This elevated stress is not noticable to us on a day to day basis, but inside our bodies it is taking its toll.  It is making us eat mindlessly, become lethargic, and make decreases our ability to focus.  We are paying a very high price for our clutter and we don't even realize it.  But it is something we can control, so we should.

Hi Guys,

In this episode I talk about three things we tend to do that keep us messy.

  1. We identify as being messy
  2. Our perfectionism stops us from starting
  3. We blame not having enough time 

I hope that you are able to shift your mindset to focus on being organized, doing it imperfectly, and having an abundance of time.

177 | A Framework To Use For Your Decluttering Project | How to Start Decluttering a Room04 Jul 202400:22:13

Hi Guys!  

In this episode I share about how to approach decluttering and then I walk you through a decluttering session.  Declutter by room, rather than by category, but use the following sections to keep you focused:

Keep - Stuff you need

Keep - Sentimental items

Eliminate-Trash

Eliminate-Stuff not not needed in this season of life

Eliminate-Stuff not good enough for you

Also, use the AMBER method so you don't get overwhelmed during decluttering. 

Hope this helps!

176 | The One Thing You Should NEVER Declutter02 Jul 202400:18:52

Hi Guys!

 In this episode I talk about how women are conditioned to give their power away.  We do it all the time - we don't mean to - but it is ingrained in us.  We are taught to be nice, and pretty, and quiet... not to be powerful.  I'm hoping that this episode will give some awareness  of this tendency and help you (and me) remember how powerful we are.

PS:  Also, you don't need to declutter photos.  The memories are worth the space.

174 | The Steps to Eliminate Items From Your House20 Jun 202400:29:29

Hi Guys!

In this episode I talk about the fourth step in the Amber Method, which is to eliminate the items from your home.  This is the actual "decluttering" step.  The Amber Method is A for Assess, M for Manifest, B for Breathe, E for Eliminate, and R for Receive.  The most important thing to remember during this step is to stay out of your head.  You can do this by using strategies that activate your prefrontal cortex:  make the project about numbers,  a specific space, or focus on a specific category. Similar to Mel Robbins' Five Second Rule, when she says 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, and take action.  

Imagine that your clutter is little pieces of your stress and anxiety that you are literally removing from your life.  

Hope this episode helps you and don't hesitate to reach out amber@declutteryourchaos.com

Hey Guys, 

In this episode I talk about how important it is to do conscious breathing during your decluttering session.  Intentional, conscious, mindful breathing is the number one way to decrease stress and anxiety when decluttering.  This episode focuses on the B in the Amber Method.  Here are the breathing techniques I talk about here:

  1. The Surrender Breath
  2. Alternate Nostril Breathing
  3. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 Breath
  4. Yogic Breath
  5. Double the Exhale

171 | How to Declutter Using My Unique Method | How to Start Your Decluttering Project16 May 202400:11:28

Hi Guys!  In the next few episodes I'm so excited to share with you my unique method of decluttering.  We all know that decluttering is not hard, so why don't we do it?  It's really a mental game.  We need to learn how to regulate our nervous system so we are able to feel emotionally safe and not a prisoner of our things.  In this episode I talk about the first step in the AMBER Method.  It is to "Assess" the space.  Listen to this episode to get you started.  Here's the  AMBER Method to get you started:

A:  Assess, M: Manifest, B: Breathe, E: Eliminate, R: Remove

I hope this helps you.  BTW - My website is almost done so I will be offering you lots of both free and paid stuff soon!  Thank you for being so patient!

169 | What We Wear (even alone at home) Influences How We Feel02 May 202400:30:04

Hi Friends,

In this episode I chat with Jennifer Mackey Mary, who has a podcast called Everyday Style.  We talk about how what we wear has the power to change the way we feel.  Similar to how our homes makes us feel a certain way, what we put on our bodies has a huge impact on how we show up in our lives.   I have been personally transformed by this conversation - I didn't realize that what I wore around the house mattered - it does!

Here is a link to her membership, where they offer everything women need to make style easy for just $27 a month:
