170 | When Enough Doesn’t Feel Like Enough: Clutter, Contentment & Deuteronomy 8

Hey hey! This week I’m revisiting an older episode from the archives that will always feel incredibly relevant in today's world.
We’re talking scripture from Deuteronomy 8 and the reminder not to forget what God has already provided for us—especially in a world constantly pushing us toward more.
Clutter doesn’t always begin in our homes first. Sometimes it begins with comparison which can turn into discontentment, mental overload, or constantly consuming without slowing down long enough to ask why.
If last weeks episode resonated with you and you seeking a little more encouragement...If you’ve been feeling mentally cluttered, stretched thin, or disconnected from what actually matters in this season... I hope this conversation gives you a moment to pause and reflect. Praying for you all as always. God knows your name. <3

168 | Calendar Planning for Busy Moms: A Real-Life Monthly Reset That Helps You Stay Ahead

Hey friends-
Summer is coming, and with it usually comes a shift in rhythm.
The structure of the school year starts to loosen, schedules change, and it can feel like things get a little more reactive at home.
In this episode, I’m walking you through the monthly calendar reset I’ve been using in my own home. It’s not perfect, and it might not all be for you—but it’s helped me stay a step ahead instead of constantly playing catch up.
I share how I gather everything going on for the month, build it into my calendar in a way that actually accounts for real life, and then make it visible for my family so we’re not scrambling day to day. I also talk through why I look for white space in our weeks, and how I use a simple weekly reset to feel more prepared going into each week.
This isn’t about doing it “right” or adding more to your plate. It’s just one way to create a little more structure so your home can feel more supported—especially heading into summer.
If things have been feeling a little scattered lately, or you’re trying to get ahead before schedules shift, I hope this gives you a place to start.

167 | You Decluttered… So Why Is the Clutter Still Sitting There?

You decluttered… so why is the clutter still sitting there?
You made the decisions. You cleared the space.But the piles are still there — waiting.
In this episode, we talk about the step most women skip after decluttering — and why your home still feels unfinished even after you’ve done the hard work.
This is for the woman who:
has piles sitting for weeks (or months) because she doesn’t know where things go
feels stuck between “I don’t want this” and “I don’t know how to get rid of it”
keeps putting off items that require extra time, research, or effort
We walk through the idea of creating a simple exit plan — not more organizing, not more sorting — just deciding where things are going and following through.
You’ll hear real-life examples of the items that tend to stall the process, like:
things that can’t just be donated or thrown away
items that require special drop-off (paint, chemicals, batteries)
old electronics, cords, and devices that need recycling
bulky or awkward items like furniture, wood, or equipment
regulated items like medications or medical supplies
This episode is about closing the loop — so your home can actually reflect the work you’ve already done.
Because if you don’t decide where things are going…they stay.Praying this episode is helpful or encouraging to you.

166 | 10 Small Organizing Changes That Reduced Stress in My Home (Simple Systems That Work)

Most organizing advice focuses on where to start or how to declutter (which we cover on this show often), but what doesn’t get enough attention — and often makes the biggest difference — are the small systems that make everyday life easier to maintain.
Recently I was invited to consult on an organizing project for a nonprofit in Boston, and one word kept coming up over and over again: function. Not just how things look, but how they actually work for the people using the space.
It made me reflect on what we've been working toward in our own home too — creating systems that support how we actually live in this season, not just how we want things to look.
In this episode I’m sharing 10 small organizing changes we've made that are reducing daily stress and making life run a little smoother. Nothing dramatic and definitely nothing perfect — just practical adjustments that are working right now.Praying you find clarity in your next steps!

165 | [Devotional] Living Busy but Feeling Empty: How God Redirected My Life

What if the overwhelm you feel isn't just from doing too much… but from carrying things God never asked you to carry?
In this special Resurrection Sunday devotional episode of Organized On Purpose, I’m sharing a very personal testimony. For years I lived busy, chasing purpose, trying to prove I was enough, and building my identity around work, achievement, and what the world said mattered. On the outside life looked full—but internally I often felt empty, stretched thin, and spiritually disconnected.
In this episode I share:
How God protected me even before I fully knew Him
The quiet ways worldly priorities can crowd out faith
How busyness and striving can become spiritual clutter
The moment God began redirecting my heart
Encouragement if you feel overwhelmed in midlife, motherhood, or home management
If you are a Christian woman trying to balance faith, family, home, and responsibilities while wondering why you still feel tired, this episode is for you.
Resurrection Sunday points us to the price Jesus paid so we could be forgiven and brought back to God. His death shows His love, and His resurrection shows His victory. My prayer is that as you reflect on your own life, you see His grace, His patience, and His invitation to walk closely with Him.

164 | Struggling to Let Go of Sentimental Clutter? Why It Feels So Emotional (and How to Move Forward With Peace)

Letting go of sentimental clutter is different than decluttering everyday items. Sometimes what looks like disorganization isn’t about stuff at all—it’s about memory, identity, and the seasons of life we don’t want to forget.
In this episode, we talk about why it can feel so emotional to declutter sentimental items and why that doesn’t mean you're doing anything wrong. If you've ever felt stuck trying to organize meaningful belongings or wondered why certain items feel impossible to let go of, this conversation will help you understand what’s really happening beneath the surface.
We’ll also talk about:• Why sentimental clutter forms• How memory and meaning affect decluttering decisions• Why grief and life transitions can make organizing harder• How to let go without feeling like you’re losing your past• A gentle way to move forward when you feel stuck
Sometimes organizing isn’t about finding better bins or better systems. Sometimes it’s about giving yourself permission to move forward while still honoring where you’ve been.
If you’re overwhelmed by sentimental clutter, this episode will help you approach decluttering with more clarity, compassion, and peace.
