THE HABITS & HOME SHOW | Decluttering & Systems for Christian ADHD Moms

When you hear the word minimalism what comes to your mind?Do you think of a bare house without any decor or character? Do you think strict rules of not being able to buy or own anything? Or do you think of giving away all your possessions to live in a tiny home?Well, let me tell you that minimalism isn’t any of that. I mean yes it can look like that for some people but the majority of people who choose a minimalist lifestyle do so for this one main reason - to live in a way that is not too overwhelming or beyond their capacity.Most of us do not live minimally. And it’s not just with the number of things we own. We take on too many projects, say yes to too many invites, and cave to too much marketing. The fact of the matter is that we let our lives control us instead of us controlling our lives.In today’s episode, I’m chatting with my friend Camie Wilke as she shares her journey with minimalism as a work-from-home businesswoman who has plans to grow her family through adoption. She shares what led to her decision to become a minimalist and how she was able to get her sentimental husband on board. She also shares her dreams of continuing her minimal lifestyle when she becomes a mom. I hope our conversation inspires you to explore the idea of minimalism a little further.Now before we dive into our conversation, I want to know how your daily resets are going. Are you finding the mindset of simple daily resets to be helpful in managing the mess in your home?

Do you want your children to thrive? Well, of course you do. What parent doesn't? But what does thriving actually look like? And what does it take to get there?
On today's show, I have Jodi Mockabee, homeschooling mom of five and author of the book The Whole & Healthy Family. We discuss what she has learned in the trenches of motherhood and how she has helped her kids thrive in mind, body and spirit.
We also cover how to talk to our kids about sex in a way that is natural and brings families closer together. It's a great conversation you won't want to miss.

How do you make your home feel cozy? Do have to fill it up with stuff so it feel more like "home?"
Well, I'm here to tell you that you can have a cozy, warm home without all the clutter. We went from a 2400 square foot home to a 300 square foot tiny house and then back to a 2000 square foot farmhouse. I've been able to make our farmhouse feel quaint and cozy without filling it full of unnecessary clutter.
But where did it all start and how was I able to retrain myself not to hoard things just because I had the room? I conditioned myself to be okay with bare space by leaving cabinets, drawers and closets empty.
So join me on this tough love episode to get motivated to declutter your home and learn to be okay with the empty spaces in your home.

My life is different now that I don't procrastinate.
Today marks the one-year anniversary of my podcast, The Habits and Home Show, and also signifies the day I decided to stop being a procrastinator.
On the very first episode of the podcast on September 1, 2021, I shared my personal struggle with procrastination and how I had felt led to start the podcast months earlier but I kept putting it off.
I shared that perfectionism and a fear of failure had been holding me back from launching the podcast but that I was done with my overthinking and worrying about doing it "wrong" so I forced myself to JUST. LAUNCH. THE. PODCAST.
That declaration and overcoming the need for perfection was a turning point for me. I no longer identified as a procrastinator and my actions this past year have solidified that belief about myself.
Anytime there was an opportunity to put a task off, my inner belief about myself wouldn't let me. It kind of felt off. Like I was going against the very nature of my being.
Anytime I thought about putting a task off until later, I found anxiety starting to creep in and I refused to let myself get into that state again because I just wasn't a place that I was able to thrive and be my best self.
That "off feeling" became the trigger for me to take action and because of me developing that constant action taking habit this past year, I have reaped many rewards and today I'm sharing 5 simple but powerful five things I've gained from giving up the habit of procrastination this past year.

When I work with a client decluttering and organizing her space, my support and coaching doesn't stop there. I'm always available for follow-up and accountability.
 
 
In this episode, I'm checking-in with Caroline Brown a month after my in-person session with her as we had decluttered and organized her seven year old's bedroom.
 
 
Caroline gives a behind the scenes look into what it's really like working with a professional organizer and gets vulnerable about the habits she was lacking to pass on to her children. She says that she has gained peace of mind from the entire experience and that it was well worth the investment to get help.
 
 
Tune in as I check in with her, discover how her daughter reacted to the overhaul and hear how their habits have changed since our time together. It's a good one!

A couple months ago I shared a podcast episode on How to Overcome Travel Exhaustion and Stress and bounce back quicker to be a productive mom after taking a trip.
 
What I love about what I shared is that it provided a great pre-travel checklist and it's what I refer back to anytime I'm about to travel. Things such as making sure the kitchen is stocked with food for when we return and hiring a housecleaner to come clean while we're away. Click HERE to listen to or read all the tips on preparing for a trip.
 
Today, I wanted to touch on the same topic of traveling and how to avoid travel burnout and exhaustion by answering the question, "Is it okay to stop my habits and routines while on vacation?"
 
We're actually vacationing this week in Destin, Florida on our annual Lizotte family vacation trip with Jered's family and I thought I could give you first hand feedback on my experience with sticking with my habits and routines instead of completely throwing them out the window and taking a break for the week. Let's dive in!
