Danced with Mariah, JT & 50 Cent—Now HGTV & QVC’s Star Carrie Locklyn Fixes Your Stressful Home

This is StRest! Carrie Locklyn is my go‑to when a space (or a season of life) needs to shift from chaotic to calm—fast. She’s a professional organizer, designer, and QVC Home Reflections guest whose story spans touring with superstars to creating stress‑reducing systems for everyday families. In this episode, we trade notes on career pivots, practical organization that actually sticks, and the mindset tools—sleep, movement, and gratitude—that keep you steady when life gets loud. Carrie doesn’t romanticize perfection; she teaches function. From the “everything needs a home” rule to the nightly reset and shared household responsibility, this conversation is equal parts encouragement and execution. If you’re overwhelmed by clutter, stuck in rumination, or simply ready to enjoy the season you’re in, start here.
