Feeling the pull of Black Friday deals? Why impulsive buying doesn’t spark joy (and what to do instead)

Black Friday is everywhere. Emails, countdowns, flashing sales. It’s easy to get caught up in the pressure to buy before it’s too late.

But what if this “buy now” culture is quietly undoing all the calm and clarity you’ve been creating through decluttering and organizing?

In this short episode, I’m talking about why impulsive buying rarely brings joy, and how to shift toward intentional choices that actually support your home organization goals.

You’ll hear why those deals feel so tempting, how impulsive shopping affects women with ADHD and busy family lives, and what simple declutter strategies can help you stay calm, clear, and in control.

If you’ve been working on overcoming overwhelm and building a more peaceful home, this episode will help you protect your progress and shop with intention this season.

Because decluttering isn’t just about letting go of things. It’s about choosing what truly adds value and joy.

Listen now to learn how to:

  • Avoid the clutter that comes from impulsive shopping
  • Recognize the emotional triggers behind Black Friday deals
  • Use simple, intentional buying habits that support your organizing journey
  • Feel more in control of your time, money, and family space
