You Don’t Need More Time - You Need Less...

Clutterbug
About this episode

If you're exhausted from trying to do it all — keeping the house clean, showing up for everyone, working, and staying “on” — you're not alone. Maybe you're craving peace, space, or just one quiet moment to breathe… but you don’t know where to start.

In this episode, I sit down with the incredibly inspiring Courtney Carver — bestselling author of Soulful Simplicity and Gentle — who completely transformed her life after a diagnosis of MS forced her to slow down, simplify, and let go of what wasn’t serving her.

We dive into what it really means to declutter—not just your home, but your calendar, your mind, your expectations, and your heart. Courtney shares how she found more health, creativity, love, and presence by doing LESS… and how you can too.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re drowning in commitments, noise, or stuff—and you just want to feel like yourself again—this episode is for you.

✨ We chat about:

  • How to simplify when you're completely overwhelmed
  • Why your self-worth is not measured by how much you do
  • Creating boundaries with your time, energy, and emotions
  • The power of starting small — and starting gently
  • The life-changing magic of Project 333
  • Simple, soulful shifts that will help you breathe again
