We've been told a messy house contributes to feelings of overwhelm and stress, but have we also been told we're still a good person even when our home is messy? And that it's UNDERSTANDABLE when our home is messy?

Well I'm here today to tell you you are a good person, and it IS understandable. Saying home mess causes overwhelm is only half the story- the other half is the validation that it's ok it happened and there's nothing wrong with you that it happened- and from THAT place we get the home clean. Not before. That's kind organzing and kind cleaning- not 'should' or shame based cleaning.

In this episode I discuss two options- either (2) embracing the messy season or (b) cleaning up but from a place of kindness for self.

Let me know your thoughts, and please be kind to yourself and care your home from a place of understanding and validation- you're doing your best.
