 Episode 41: Henny Penny & Sky High Clutter 

 Episode Description
Join Julie and Janis as they transform the classic tale of Henny Penny into a hilarious decluttering adventure! When panic meets piles and storage becomes dangerous, our feathered friends learn that the sky isn't falling—it's just buried under years of accumulated stuff. From expired coupons to the dreaded "Ottoman of Doom," discover how to turn chaos into calm with practical tips and plenty of laughs.

Key Takeaways & Decluttering Tips

🐓 Tip #1: Panic is Not a Plan
If your clutter makes you gasp or duck, it's time to reevaluate your storage. Don't let your pantry become more dangerous than your neighbor's trampoline!

🐓 Tip #2: Group Think Clutter is Real
Clutter panic spreads like glitter at a preschool party. Don't let one person's mess anxiety infect your whole household.

🐓 Tip #3: Pretty Containers Don't Fix Chaos
Function before fashion! Stylish storage ottomans that hide chaos are just expensive Band-Aids on a bigger problem.

🐓 Tip #4: When Everything Feels Urgent, Pause
Choose one zone, set one timer, grab one snack, then GO! Small focused actions beat overwhelming everything-at-once approaches.

🐓 Tip #5: Celebrate Your Wins
Track what you've donated, tossed, or rehomed. Share your victories with your community—we're here to cheer you on!

🐓 Tip #6: Downsize Seasonal Drama
Sentimental seasonal stuff isn't bad, but if you're storing stress along with it, it's time to declutter. One centerpiece-worthy item beats five backup cornucopias!
