3. Confession: I’ve Been Decluttering Wrong in My Own Marriage | Clutterbug Episode #348

   Is your family sabotaging your decluttering, or are you the problem? Here’s how to declutter with your spouse, kids or roommates without fights, resentment or rebuying the stuff you tossed. Lees meer

   Hey Clutterbugs! I have a confession. I’m a professional organizer, and for years I’ve been decluttering my husband’s stuff without asking him. Joe has bought the same can opener five times because I keep getting rid of it, and don’t get me started on the bread knife I didn’t know existed. So for the first time in 20 years, Joe and I decluttered together. He picked, I picked, and we agreed on things together. It turned into couples therapy and a romance novel in one. I can't wait for you to see the video on my main YouTube page in a couple weeks, but here's a sneak peek for all my Podcast listeners :)

4. She Kept These Boots for 15 Years (then one move changed everything) | Clutterbug Episode #347

   Afspelen
   Struggling to declutter things that make you feel guilty, ashamed or bad about yourself? Hey Clutterbugs! Today we’re talking about emotional clutter and how to finally let go of the “bully” items in your home: the shoes that hurt, the clothes that don’t fit, the expensive stuff you never use and the gifts you feel guilty getting rid of. Lees meer

   A few weeks ago, someone called into Talk to Cas about a pair of high-heel boots she loved, and then broke both ankles before she got to wear them again. Fifteen years later, every time she saw those boots she felt guilt, shame and sadness. She called them her bully boots. And you guys… we ALL have bully boots. I’m sharing my own bullies (hello, little red sweaters and stupid, stupid sourdough stencils 😩), how to spot the stuff in your house that’s quietly making you feel terrible, and how to stand up to it . . . even if you’re a total people pleaser like me.

5. I Was Told I Was "Too Much" My Whole Life — Turns Out That Was the Point. Here's Why. | Clutterbug Episode #346

   5 oktober 2026 · 1 uur 3 min

   Afspelen
   Hey Clutterbugs! You know what we don’t talk about enough? ADHD success stories. We need to hear more about building a business (or a life!) when traditional productivity advice just doesn't work for our brains. Lees meer

   In this episode, I sit down with my friend Ari Scott — ADHD entrepreneur coach, founder of The ADHD Entrepreneur, and someone who I immediately clocked as "my flavor of weird" the second we met — to talk about working with your ADHD brain instead of against it.

   Ari was expelled from school at 16, got fired from five jobs, and stumbled into ADHD entrepreneurship coaching almost by accident after a conversation during COVID changed everything. We get real about the shared backstory a lot of us don't talk about — the shame, the self-diagnosis debate, the "too intelligent to have ADHD" dismissals — and how reframing failure completely changed both of our trajectories.

   If you've ever been told you're "too much," this conversation is a reminder that the things people called your flaws might actually be exactly what makes you unstoppable.

   Follow Ari on Instagram @the_adhd_entrepreneur, and check the link in her bio for her free masterclass, Starter Kit, and Accelerator program for ADHD entrepreneurs.

6. The 5 Step Trick That Makes Procrastination Impossible | Clutterbug Episode #345

   28 september 2026 · 1 uur 4 min

   Afspelen
   Hey Clutterbugs! Want to know how to stop procrastinating and finally start the things you keep putting off, from decluttering your house to chasing a big dream? In this episode, I sit down with Dana K. White, author of Procrastinators Get Stuff Done and creator of the No Mess Method, to break down her simple five-step anti-procrastination process for overcoming overwhelm, one tiny step at a time. Lees meer

   Dana taught hundreds of thousands of people to declutter without making a bigger mess, and now she's turned the same approach on procrastination. We talk about why we really put things off, why "make a plan" is step four and not step one, and why so many of us spiral into research mode instead of taking action. I also get real about the book edits I've been avoiding, and we try the method on my own manuscript live.

   I'll also tell you the story of how I went from "this system will never work for me" to full-blown Dana K. White believer.

   Procrastinators Get Stuff Done comes out October 6th, and you can pre-order at danakwhite.com/procrastinate, where the pre-order bonuses include strategy sessions working through real projects!

7. Hack Your Home: Netflix Star Jess Banks on Storage Hacks & Why Your House Isn't Designed for You | Clutterbug Episode #344

   Looking for small space storage hacks and home organization ideas that actually make sense for how you live? In this episode, I sit down with Jess Banks — robotics engineer, furniture designer, and star of Netflix's Hack Your Home — to talk about why homes fail us, and the small, genius hacks that can fix it. Lees meer

   Jess has an insane background — physics, robotics, running her own kinetic furniture company — and she brings all of it to how she thinks about storage and space. We get into why "messy" isn't actually a character flaw (it's just a mismatch between your brain and your space), how to design furniture and storage that flexes for visual vs. hidden organizers, and why she thinks almost every home is missing a few key pieces of smart storage.

   Follow Jess on Instagram @rockpaperrobot, and watch Hack Your Home on Netflix — I promise you'll be as obsessed as I am!Thank you to my show sponsors:1-800-Got-Junk: https://1800gotjunk.com/

9. Why Changing Your Space Changes Who You Are (Not Just How It Looks) | Clutterbug Episode #342

   7 september 2026 · 1 uur 4 min

   Afspelen
   Hey Clutterbugs! Want to know why decluttering and organizing your home can change your entire life — not just your space? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit and her brand new book Situated, to talk about the science behind why changing your environment is more powerful than "just trying harder." Lees meer

   Angela breaks down the Three Boxes model, and honestly, it explained my entire life back to me. We get into why willpower is overrated, why "just try harder" culture is kind of a trap, and why editing your space (not forcing more discipline) is the real secret to lasting change.

   We also get real with topics like . . .

   ✨ My own decluttering "rock bottom" and how changing my environment changed who I was, not just how my house looked

   ✨ Why I think weight loss surgery is a situational fix, not a shortcut — and why shame around GLP-1s and other "easier" paths needs to go

   ✨ Getting diagnosed with ADHD at 40 and how surrounding myself with the right people (situational change!) helped me finally build the life and career I wanted

   ✨ Why grit isn't about intensity — it's about consistency, and why my whole "do it badly on purpose" philosophy might actually be a form of grit after all

   If you've ever felt like you're failing no matter how hard you try, this episode might just reframe everything. Sometimes the answer isn't more effort — it's a better situation.

    Want interior design tips that actually reflect your personal style — not just another Pinterest trend? In this episode, I talk home decor, storytelling through design, and chasing big dreams with Olivia Westbrooks, interior designer and star of Hallmark's Home Is Where the Heart Is. Lees meer

    Olivia has been designing for over 22 years, and after her show gave her a taste of what's possible, she got real with me about what came next . . . and why she finally pulled her podcast equipment out of the box after three years of letting it collect dust (be honest, is yours still in the box too?).

    We get into:

    ✨ Why the best-designed homes tell a story instead of following a trend

    ✨ How to figure out your personal style when you don't even know where to start

    ✨ Why doing something badly on purpose might be the fastest way through perfectionism

    ✨ Small, low-cost ways to make your space feel more like you today — no renovation required

    ✨ The moment Olivia posted her most "imperfect" video ever... and it became her best-performing post

    If you've ever shoved a dream to the bottom of your list because life got busy, or you're stuck buying stuff that never quite feels you, this conversation is your permission slip to take one small, brave step today.

    Follow Olivia on Instagram @OliviaWestbrooksInteriors and stream Home Is Where the Heart Is on Hallmark+!
