Why October Feels Like the Clutter Magnet of the Year (and How to Break Free)
Ever feel like October sneaks up on you and suddenly everything feels too much? The bins of decorations, the endless to-do list, the pressure to make it all perfect — it’s no wonder October is one of the heaviest months of the year.
In this episode, I’m closing out our Flow This Fall series with a big reflection on why October always feels like a clutter magnet — and how you can finally take the weight off your shoulders.
I’ll walk you through:
- The 3 types of clutter that collide in October (physical, mental, and emotional) and how they show up in your life.
- Real client stories that will make you say, “That’s me!” (like the mom who skipped Halloween and said it was the calmest October she ever had).
- How to use my Fresh Start Method® to close out October strong — with practical, everyday examples you can try this week.
- The key takeaways from each of this month’s episodes — so you can carry the best of October forward.
Because here’s the truth: clutter doesn’t just take up space in your home. It takes up space in your head and in your heart. And October is when it all comes crashing together.
But you can clear space for peace and joy — and it starts with small, steady steps.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
