Shift your MINDSET what how easy DECLUTTERING becomes

Okay so I want to talk about something that I think is going to completely change the way you look at your home. I want you to walk away from this video with a new mindset when it comes to decluttering and this is what's going to help you declutter your entire home and finish out 2026 strong. We're halfway through so I want this to inspire you and to encourage you and to give you confidence that you can do this. You can actually live the life that you desire and I'm saying this because if you've ever decluttered like really gone for it, filled the trash bags, felt amazing for about two weeks and then watched it slowly creep back, it's not a you problem but there is a missing piece here and today I want to give you that piece. So as I share this with you guys I'm going to show you how I am decluttering, reorganizing our dining room slash homeschool room. This place was a complete disaster. I mean it stays organized and tidy for the entire school year because I'm in and out of it every single day but since summer has started and we're not doing school kids have been in and out of these cabinets and I'm not there to like double check if it's organized. So we need to honestly get rid of a lot of stuff in here. All the stuff we finished, the things we're not using anymore, we need to reorganize, reset because I will be buying my homeschool stuff very soon and I really just want this space to feel more open and flowing and honestly I want it to be easier to deal with because it's just been a pain point. Like things are just cluttering and catching in this area because I'm not there to give it value and to help fix it up. So while I declutter, while I get this stuff going, I want to tell you that decluttering and your pain points in your home honestly it was never really about your stuff. That's where I want to start. I am someone who likes to solve problems and I like to ask questions like and when I get an answer I ask another question because I want to get to the root of things. That was how I was designed. God made me that way and I think no no no I know that's why God has me here talking to women saying hey you've decluttered but it didn't stick. Let me walk you through my experience. Let me show you how you're gonna get it to stick because I kept asking the questions. Nobody's telling you that the decluttering is never about your stuff. It's a reflection of what's happening on the inside. It's not laziness. It's not a lack of discipline. It's just the fact that you don't have space to figure out who you are and maybe you haven't been encouraged to do that yet but that's what I am here for and that is the message that I am sharing with as many women as I can get, as I can reach. So when I decluttered, when I started decluttering obviously I got lighter. I felt amazing but things kept crawling back, creeping back, whether it was in my closet, my car, my home. That's just how it is and yes life is evolving. We're adding children to our family. There's a lot going on but the feeling, the cluttered feeling, like the jealousy, the comparison, the lack of confidence in who I am, that's what kept coming back. I always felt amazing when I decluttered but then it would just return which was always so confusing to me. Why? Why was it doing this? Well I kept going and I kept asking questions and what I found was that when I was connected with who God made me to be, authentic Margaret, and I found out what feels aligned in my life, what feels like all the stars are lining up, this is correct. When I started asking those kinds of questions, things started to shift in my life. It was less of getting rid of stuff and it was more so, why am I doing this and what actually matters here? So before I keep going in my story, this is why I created my course Simplify to Thrive where I teach women how to declutter their home, yes, but how to simplify their life as a whole. We don't even touch an item in your home until we've talked about really important strategies and life lessons and we do soul work so that before you touch anything in your home, you know what you value and this is where so many women get stuck because they think it's enough to have it in their brain and they don't have somebody asking them these deep-rooted questions which ultimately build confidence in your ability to create this life that you are so desiring. My desire is to get you there and yes, a huge part of that is decluttering your space, your home, so I walk you through that as well and then I tell you what to expect after you have decluttered everything because that's a whole new life, your central nervous system isn't used to that. So if this resonates with you, if this is something that you are longing for but you need someone to walk you through it, I would be honored to do that. I will leave all the information down below for you all. It's called Simplify to Thrive because I'm a firm believer that when you do simplify, you will thrive again. I mean Socrates said it hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years ago, the secret to happiness is not in seeking more but in developing the capacity to enjoy less. You will find beauty again, you will find yourself again, you will find joy, you will truly enjoy your life when you learn who you are, what you value, how to declutter your space to create it into a safe haven for you. You learn how to live in alignment. I cannot wait to walk you through this process. Okay guys, this is something I keep coming back to because I believe in it. It's Monarch, the financial app that I believe was designed for mothers. The people whose brains have like a million tabs open, you don't even open your finances or take a look at them because you just don't have capacity for that. That was me for years. I just like avoided looking at our finances or trying to figure it out and then I tried. Like I used dozens of things from Excel to a word doc to all these other apps that people recommended but nothing stuck except for Monarch and I'll tell you why. First of all, when I was entering in all my cards, all of our That's it. In mom world, that's like your time is precious, that is gold to me. So everything was clocked in, loaded up, I had my dashboard within like five minutes of signing up. They have weekly check-ins, they use AI to communicate what's happening financially like in our data when we're plugging things in, things are going out. They use AI to communicate in English what's happening with our finances. That's a really powerful tool and that's very, very helpful. So I'm not trying to like figure it all out. Monarch is helping me see what the patterns are. Did I mention this was something that was designed for mothers? Please, someone take something off my plate, show me what the pattern is without me trying to figure that out, okay? They sync up with over 13,000 institutions so that's your banks, where your money is, where your cards are, all of that. It's completely private, it's ad-free, no one's selling your data and I just, I literally just checked in. As I sat down here, I'm like, might as well just check in this morning. It's a Monday morning, my weekly recap and it like you click it, give me the recap and it loads for a few minutes because it's gathering data from the last week. Like it's legit, it's so great. If you guys are with me on this and you want to be less overwhelmed about your finances, you want to feel like you're in control of something, you're on top of it, check out Monarch, you guys. Oh, you can sync it with your husband, like you guys can log into the same account and see all of the activity too. I think that's awesome.

Okay, back to what's happening here. While I'm decluttering this, I also know that there's a lot of busyness, there's a lot going on in our season of life with four little boys. Yes, things are going to creep back in, but what's going to make this stick is understanding the value of this space. Without doing that, clutter is going to creep back in really easily and I'm not talking about just a little bit of mess, like all my thoughts are going to be disorganized, all of these supplies, all of our workbooks are going to be disorganized because I'm not rooted in what we're doing and what matters here in this space and even our dining room table, like it is a clutter zone right now because I have lost the value, honestly you guys, because we're outside playing in the evenings because it's not as hot and we're not having as many like family dinners because we're just playing outside. I'm eating my burger outside on the floor, I mean on the ground with my kids, so like we're kind of out of touch with what this space is for and what we value here. So it's not about perfection is what I'm trying to say, like mess is going to happen in this season of life, but if I have this groundedness and I know the exact purpose here and it's aligned with everything in my life, this space is going to feel different. That's what I say all the time in all of my videos, decluttering is not about perfection, we're not trying to gain control, it's about alignment, a home that feels like you, a dining room that reflects what you value and makes you exhale when you walk in because it feels right. The other day my sister came over and she was in from town and we were out and about till late at night and all the boys were awake. We had been gone out of the house for the entire day and she comes home and I turn on my amber light bulbs and I turn on my soft music, our fireplace and although it feels a little chaotic, kids are awake when they should be asleep, we're getting food out, she turns to me and she was like, Margaret your home feels so good, like that's what I want you guys to feel, that even amidst the fullness of life and in motherhood it feels good. She was doing my dishes, I was cleaning up the floor, there's mess, it gets dirty, but it feels good. So this is something you guys that not a lot of people are talking about, the way your home feels matters. It's less about how it looks, it's how it feels to you and you have to do the inner work, you have to do the soul work to get there, but I know you can and it's honestly not as hard as you think. It's so much simpler, you just have to know and be pointed in the right direction. So I made something for you to get you started. This is a freebie, it's honestly a little taste of what's in my course. It's questions just to help you start digging, to help you get more aligned with yourself. I even ask you to take a step back, to take a 35,000 foot view and remember yourself as a little girl, like what did she love? We're bringing that back into the equation before we got flooded with comparison and seeing everyone else's lives and y'all know I'm gonna tell you that's at the root of what's in your house, it's not being aligned. So answer these questions for yourself. If this resonates with you, let's keep on having this conversation and let's dig deeper because that life that you truly desire, that is real, that can be real for you. Living in a home that feels good, decluttering your dining room table, your homeschool cabinets in an hour and a half, which totally resets you for the whole year ahead, that is possible for you. Things can be easy, they can be simple, you can get realigned and you can get your life back. So go grab that free worksheet below, sit somewhere quiet, light a candle, give yourself 20 minutes and just answer honestly. There's no right or wrong answers, there's no shame, no judgment, just yours and if those questions open something for you, Simplify to Thrive is right there for you. No surface level, we do the real stuff. I hope you have a lovely day, thank you so much for being here, happy decluttering and I'll see you in my next one.
