If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you own, you are not alone. Like myself, many people over the age of 45 face the challenge of what to do with the amount of possessions we have been accumulating. Then thoughts about someday moving into a smaller place, simplifying our lifestyle, or just creating more space and order in our environment dance through our minds. But we end up procrastinating on decisions we know we need to make. Yes, you are not alone! Grace Rehman wants to come alongside you to provide you with bite-sized tips, emotional and mental support, encouragement, and laughter in between the messy middle as you declutter, downsize, and move. Even if you’re not thinking about relocating just yet, these episodes will help you gain momentum to get started with deciding what to keep and what to let go. Decluttering and downsizing (she would rather say ”rightsizing”) can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. As your Home Organizer next door, Grace can help you get started and make the process easier and more enjoyable.

Join me in this episode as I delve into the concept of mindful consumption during the holidays.
Discover practical strategies to navigate the shopping frenzy, avoid unnecessary purchases, and still revel in the joy of finding meaningful gifts for your loved ones.
Learn about thoughtful gifting and mindful consumption, ensuring a fulfilling holiday season without the clutter.
There seems to be little literature and research about "mindful consumption" and I wish I could bring you more information about it.
For now, we will keep it basic and describe it as a practice of "being deliberate and thoughtful in our buying habits, understanding the impact of our purchases on both ourselves and the world."
Share this episode with a friend.
Happy Thanksgiving!

74 | Getting Organized Is A Form Of Self-Care...Do You Agree or Disagree?
Saturday Apr 15, 2023
Saturday Apr 15, 2023
Today's special guest is Professional Organizer Holly Perez, owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions. Join us as we talk about how getting organized is a form of self-care. Holly also shares actionable tips and her own journey with getting organized.
The term "self-care" has been a marketing buzzword lately, and it evokes mixed feelings for many, including myself. An article I found on Yahoo states that the term "self-care" has "become so big and amorphous that it can be difficult to suss out what it really is at its core and why it matters." While we didn't take the time to dig into the history of self-care and how it became so popular, we considered getting organized as a way for us to take better care of ourselves.
If you're like me, I feel at peace when I know that my environment is in order. I feel like I can breathe easier when I know I can find things quickly and easily. But if these feelings continue to elude you as they did me for many years, know that there is always hope and help. And the bonus? You get to take care of your overall well-being by getting organized.
Are you ready to go from chaos to calm? Pop on those earbuds, friend, and join the conversation.
About Holly Perez:
Holly is the owner of H.A.P. Organizing Solutions.
H.A.P. stands for multiple things: Happy and Productive, Home and Paper, Harmonious and Peaceful, and my initials, Holly A. Perez.
As a full-time work-from-home mom, I know the feeling of overwhelm while dealing with the everyday paper that piles up everywhere in the home office, kitchen, car, closet, and more. I offer group workshops and one-on-one sessions to help solve the problem for good. My goal is to assist you in being happy and productive, while reducing the stress and overwhelm so that you can focus on what matters most.

73 | This Book Could Solve Our Paper Problems
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Wednesday Mar 29, 2023
Avalanche. Tsunami. Mountains. Oceans. Would these words accurately describe the amount of paper that we process throughout our lifetime?
Let me share a statistic used by the book I am about to introduce to you: "The average American household processes a paper stack as high as a two-story house every year." Imagine that! So maybe it's not outlandish to describe our paper as an avalanche, tsunami, etc.
Even with massive technological advances and a push for a paperless (or at least less paper) society, paper is here to stay, and it only continues to overwhelm us and our homes.
What's the solution? I am glad you asked. Listen in as I talk with you more about paper organization and THE book that could solve our paper problems, written by Lisa Woodruff called Paper Solution: What To Shred, What To Save, and How To Stop It from Taking Over Your Life.
Also, check out Episode 68 where I talked with my friend Emily Lowry about how to get your paper organized. She is certified to teach Lisa's Sunday Basket system (mentioned in the book).

Do you find yourself distracted even after you've scheduled a time to declutter a particular area in your home? Something that you deem more important comes up. You receive a phone call or text message that "needs" your attention. Someone needs something from you. Mind you, this happens within the short 15 minutes that you try to declutter, even just a bedside table.
My friend, you are definitely not alone on this.
No one is immune to distractions (not even a professional organizer), especially in this day and age where everything and everyone are vying for our attention.
Take a listen to this episode as we explore an important question we need to ask ourselves when distractions come DURING our decluttering time.

Click HERE to read the blog post I referred to about defeating distraction written by Erin Pavlicek. As I mentioned, it's spiritual in nature. Don't feel like you have to share the beliefs of the writer (or mine) for the content to be useful for you.

EP 71 | Closet Decluttering Tips To Help You Get Unstuck
Monday Jan 30, 2023
Monday Jan 30, 2023
Just imagine looking inside your closet, smiling, and loving everything you had in it. Getting dressed for work or for an event is a breeze because you can find what you need and you no longer run late. Sounds amazing, right?
Unfortunately, this is not (yet) the case for many of us. According to a survey from OnePoll, 47% of women struggle with deciding on which work outfit they should wear. The struggle is real!
Help is on the way, my friend. My guest, Holly Moran, a Professional Organizer, will help us get started on the right foot and guide us toward a closet space we can feel good about.

Receipts. Legal documents. Paper bills. Magazines. Work papers. Random notes you wrote on Post-Its. Grocery lists. To-do lists. All. The. Paper.
With these ongoing incoming papers, it can really become frustrating when they pile up and you hardly know what to do with them.
We then stash them away while we hope they would disappear on their own, except, they don't and they leave us frustrated and overwhelmed.
Can you relate? I've been there too!
Join me and my guest, friend, and fellow professional organizer, Emily Lowry, as she walks us through how to tackle these papers so that you no longer have to feel stressed out, especially when you can't find that one piece of paper that you need right away.

It was an honor and privilege to have a conversation with celebrity Decluttering Expert Tracy McCubbin! We've had great guests so far!
Tracy and I talked about, as the title of this episode states, "why filling our homes with stuff leaves us feeling empty, and tips for bringing more happiness to our homes." You do not want to miss this timely and eye-opening chat!
Tracy is the acclaimed founder of dClutterfly, and author of the new book Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want, (To be released on October 4, 2022).
In Make Space for Happiness, Tracy expands on her debut, widely acclaimed book, Making Space, Clutter Free, to revisit the seven Clutter Blocks - mind traps that make us unable to let go of possessions that we don’t want, use, or love in order to make real change - to now helping her thousands of clients examine the deep root of how their excess possessions got there in the first place.
