What if the clutter in your home is costing you more than just space?
If you’ve ever looked around your house and felt instantly overwhelmed by the piles, laundry, papers, toys, and stuff everywhere, this episode is for you.
Today, I’m talking with Deanna Yates, recovering perfectionist, busy mom, and host of the top-ranked Wannabe Clutter Free podcast. Deanna helps high-achieving moms clear the clutter from their homes and lives so they can create spaces that actually support them instead of draining them.
And this conversation isn’t about having a Pinterest-perfect house.
We’re talking about how clutter affects your mental load, energy, focus, and productivity—and how letting go of the things you don’t need can make everyday life feel so much easier.
Deanna shares why perfectionism can make our homes feel harder to live in, how visual clutter quietly drains our energy, and why you absolutely do NOT need an entire weekend to start decluttering.
We also talk about:
- The difference between a home that looks good and one that actually feels good
- Why clutter can become a constant visual to-do list
- How to declutter in just 5–10 minutes at a time
- Deanna’s simple five-minute family tidy
- How to tackle sentimental items without feeling guilty
- Why keeping fewer meaningful items can actually make them more special
- How to get your family involved so Mom isn’t the keeper of all the things
- The ridiculously simple “declutter box” you can start today
If you’ve been telling yourself you’ll deal with the clutter when you finally have an entire free Saturday, Deanna is going to give you permission to start much, much smaller.
Because your home doesn’t need to be perfect. It needs to work for the people actually living in it.
