This episode kicks off a powerful 4-part series I'm calling The Real Cost of Disorganization. You know disorganization costs you time and money (remember Ep. 120?), but there’s something even deeper, something sneakier at play.


It’s your stories.


The stories you believe about yourself… about your clutter… about what it all means. They’re keeping you stuck, overwhelmed, and maybe even avoiding that one drawer (you know the one).


In this episode, I read real, raw answers from listeners who replied to my email asking: What’s holding you back from getting organized? From shame to avoidance to ADHD and more, these stories are universal.


But they're also changeable. And I’ll show you how.


You're not lazy. You’re just believing a story.


Tune in to identify your story, find where it’s keeping you stuck, and hear tangible ways to start rewriting it.


This episode is part 1 in the series. Stay tuned each week as we unpack the emotional, mental, and financial cost of disorganization—and the freedom that comes when you get organized.


What You’ll Learn:

  • Why disorganization is more than just clutter

  • How guilt, shame, and avoidance sabotage your progress

  • What neuroscience says about your brain’s “avoidance mode”

  • Why being stuck can feel “safe” (but is secretly draining you)

  • How to rewrite your story so you can take powerful action

  • A mindset reframe that helps ADHD brains get organized

  • How decluttering could actually give you more energy (what!?)

  • Why your past attempts at organizing aren’t failures—they’re reps
