****TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY-RANKED PODCAST**** Are you waking up exhausted and overwhelmed before the day even begins? Is your mind as disorganized as your house? Is the stress of the clutter, debt, and what to make for dinner…again, wreaking havoc on your health, parenting and marriage? Do you wish you had one authentic Catholic friend who understood your struggles? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast will teach you how to create a clutter-free, organized home that practically runs itself, with dinner on the table every night, enough money to stop living paycheck to paycheck and God at the center of it all! Hi, I’m Gina. A Catholic wife, mom and declutter coach. For twenty years, I made sure my home was organized and running efficiently; we ate healthy, homemade dinners, the laundry was done, and the bills were paid on time, yet, I still felt like something was missing. I thought if my home looked like it belonged in a magazine, my family dined on gourmet meals and I stayed out of debt, life would be peaceful and perfect. I finally realized that I was searching for fulfillment and validation from the outside world. Yes, I needed my home to run efficiently, but I felt a nagging in my heart that I was made for more. If I was going to have a full life with the peace that transcends human understanding, I needed to make God the center. I needed to put Him in charge instead of feeling like it was all up to me. I created a plan that fits ME. Simple routines to incorporate faith into my daily tasks. A lifestyle that’s allowing me to prosper into the woman God is calling me to be. And I’m ready to share it with you! If you are tired of waiting for motivation to strike and you are ready to do the work to declutter your home, plan meals your family will actually eat, break free from living paycheck to paycheck, learn to implement routines for a peaceful home that practically runs itself, AND make a new Catholic BFF who wants to share in your joys and struggles, - this podcast is for you! Grab your garden shears because you’re about to prune away the clutter of life so you can prosper into the woman God has called YOU to be!

Opening Bible verse: Luke 1:39-43
How excited was Elizabeth to open her front door and see her cousin, Our Blessed Mother, standing there! Both women had a miracle to share with the other.
Why do friends/neighbors stop over? Is it to share good news? Bring a hot meal? Share in your sorrow? Bring kids for a playdate? Perhaps, they are just lonely and looking for a new friend. Don't let clutter stop you from all these joys of friendship.

My dear friend, Lori Haring, joins me on this episode to dive deeper into the idea of breaking through a hangup that keeps us stuck on a task. Lori discovered she has ADHD as an adult and is still learning how to best run her home efficiently despite ADHD trying its best to distract her and block her progress. Lori shares with us how she has successfully won the battle of laundry and dishes in her home and how she's doing with the meal plan we worked on two weeks ago.

Opening Bible verse: Genesis 3:15
We all go through hard times. We've all struggled at some point. Why? What is the purpose? Why does life have to be hard?
In today's podcast episode, I challenge you to ask a different question.
Instead of, "God, why does life have to be hard?" ask, "what is the seed you need to germinate in me, God?"

Opening Bible verse: Isaiah 66:1-2
God is always calling us to humble ourselves and that's why I thought this Bible passage was a great choice for this episode. When it comes to running our homes efficiently, sometimes we need to humble ourselves. Sometimes we don't have the answer, sometimes the answer has to come from outside our home. That's how this episode came together today. This past summer I worked on decluttering and organizing my whole house and added an extra Monday episode to track my journey. Until...paper. Did you notice how I went radio silent when it was time to talk about paper in my own home? I was stuck. I finally figured out a system that is working for me but I couldn't figure out how to articulate the reason for my success. After chatting with my bestie this week, she gave me the lightbulb moment I needed. She told me in order to breakthrough any task, we had to discover the hangup. That's it! That was the verbiage I needed to hear! What I discovered this summer was I had a few hangups with a good paper system. Once I found my hangup, I was able to breakthrough and find my solution.
In today's podcast episode I share my hangup with you and share how I was finally able to breakthrough to a system of paper that is working for me.
I mention another episode about how I use a simple black binder to organize the running of my home. You can listen to that episode here:

Opening Bible verse: Genesis 22:15-18
Last week we talked about stepping out in faith to fully trust God with your life. If we trust Him with our lives, how can we not trust Him with our clothing?
In today's podcast episode, I walk you through the process I use with my declutter clients to help them pare down their wardrobes to items that fit, flatter and make them feel fabulous. Worried this will leave you with nothing to wear? Fear not! I give you lots of ideas on how to multiply one outfit several different ways.
Stop over in the private Facebook group for pictures I'm sharing today of my month long trip to Europe last summer. I packed one backpack with clothing for four weeks of travel. See my favorite trick for giving any outfit a different look.

Opening Bible verse: John 3:16-18
Jesus did not die on the cross to condemn us, He died on the cross to set us free. Yet, how many of you allow your wardrobe to keep you back from enjoying that freedom? Do you wake up each morning to a wardrobe fit for the woman God created you to be? Or do you wake up to a wardrobe of a woman who lives without faith? Is it the wardrobe of a woman without complete trust in God's plan for her life?
Girl, step into the light! He did not hang on that cross so you could beat yourself up over a college sweatshirt or a pair of jeans that no longer fit. He hung on that cross so you could be free.
In today's episode, I talk about the connection between your fear of decluttering your wardrobe and the relationship you have with God.
As a professional declutter coach, I work with the homeowner to declutter her home. If it is a whole home project, I persuade the woman to begin in the wardrobe. At the end of our time together I hear things like, "that was so fun", "I thought that would be so much harder", "why did I wait so long to do this?" She has stepped into the light. She has faith that she has plenty of items to wear. She has a wardrobe filled with items that fit, flatter, and make her feel fabulous. She is ready to be the woman God is calling her to be.

Opening Bible Verse: Luke 9:51-56
When Jesus was not met with a welcome reception in the Samaritan village, He didn't agree to James and John's wish to call down fire from heaven to consume the people of the village. Instead, Jesus calmly found another way and went to a different village.
When things are not going your way in your home. When the tasks are never ending and they don't seem to make any difference, you too need to find another way.
Do you wish your days were productive and you felt like you actually had space to breathe? Do you want a closer relationship with God but you are too swamped in the to-do list to hear anything He has to say?
In today's episode I give you a really simple question to ask about each item on your to-do list. See if implementing this strategy helps lighten your load and frees you up a bit to prosper into the woman God is calling you to be.
Head over to the private Facebook group and share your homework along with the ways you will work this week to reduce or eliminate each dreaded task.
