Declutter Your Way To Calm
Are you feeling overwhelmed? Do you have a To-Do list a mile long? Do you feel there is never enough time to get everything done? So how do you manage the chaos? One solution is to start decluttering your life. Declutter your way to calm. When we declutter our physical space, we declutter our minds too. “Stuff”…
Ep #8: The Power of Decluttering
What is clutter? Well, it can be anything. It could be physical junk and trash, it could even be useful items, but the problem is it’s everywhere and there’s just too much. Whatever it looks like for you, I believe that clutter creates a sense of chaos. And if you’re not naturally tidy or a…
Routines Can Reduce Stress
My alarm goes off at 6:30am. Monday-Friday. Although, I no longer have to drive any kids to school, no longer have to commute to work, and I no longer have to answer to a boss, my morning routine remains the same: Make my bed. Brush my teeth. Get dressed. Feed the dog. Drink a glass…

Ep #6: The Power of The Pause
As a classic overthinker, I have a confession to make: I am still struggling to master the art of doing nothing. As you all know from previous episodes, I am a daily meditator. However, outside of meditation – which I don’t really consider to be doing nothing – taking a pause and truly doing nothing…
Ep #5: The Power of Journaling
I’m expanding on the essential daily habits I discussed over the first four episodes of this podcast and introducing you to another: Journaling. This is one of my favorite ways to manage my overthinking brain, and it’s a hack I recommend to almost every one of my clients. It’s interesting how often people push back…
