119 Get Unstuck At Home with Dana K Whit...

Mattia Mauree
About this episode

Dana K White, like me, couldn't find advice that worked for her. So she made it up! And it turns out, it was helpful for many other people too.

After writing an anonymous blog about cleaning her overwhelmingly cluttered home, Dana "came out" and started helping others too. Also, many of those people let her know she seems to have ADHD ;)

Her explanations have already helped me a lot, and given me hope about a clean home for the first time in ages.

We talk about many of the overarching themes/tips in her books (which are linked below)
