What do decluttering your home and your finances have in common? More than you think.
In this special interview-style episode, I sat down with financial coach and author Bernadette Joy, whose CRUSH method helps people declutter their money goals and design a life with more freedom — financial and otherwise. We talked about how clutter shows up in our homes and our heads, and how you can start organizing both in a way that actually supports your life.
🎧 You’ll hear:
- What to do when you’re holding onto “perfectly good stuff”
- How to use your space (and your spending) with intention
- Why we hang on to things for emotional reasons and how to gently let go
- How to find your “just right” amount of organization (and stop overdoing it!)
- Bernadette’s 5-step CRUSH framework and how it parallels my CLEAR-5 system
- What kids, spouses, sentimental keepsakes, and even makeup stashes teach us about our values
This episode is packed with real talk, laughs, and useful strategies, especially if you’re in a season of transition and feeling like the stuff is getting in the way.
