Description

Clutter isn’t just about stuff—it’s about the guilt, shame, and stress weighing you down every time you walk into a room.

I’m joined by declutter expert and host of The Maximized Minimalist, Katy Wells. 

Known for her authentic, holistic approach, Katy goes beyond surface-level tidying to uncover the real reasons clutter lingers—and how to break free from it for good.

Katy has helped hundreds of thousands of people transform chaotic homes into calm, supportive spaces. 

And today, she’s sharing how clutter is deeply tied to our psychology, emotions, and sense of worthiness.

We’re unpacking:
 ✔️ How “clutter shame” keeps you stuck in cycles of guilt and avoidance
 ✔️ The hidden emotional roots behind the stuff you can’t seem to get rid of
 ✔️ Why quick-fix organizing hacks don’t last—and what actually does
 ✔️ How to create lasting freedom from clutter so your home supports your life, not drains it
 ✔️ Simple mindset shifts that will help you release guilt and reclaim peace

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by your home—or ashamed of the clutter you can’t seem to conquer—this conversation will help you release the shame, understand the deeper “why,” and finally move toward lasting change.

🎧 Press play to learn how to heal the root causes of clutter and create a home that feels calm, supportive, and truly yours.
