24: Ditch Your Shit: Decluttering As Self Care with Kate Evans

Send us a text

Do you ever look around your home and feel overwhelmed by all the stuff that seems to multiply overnight? What if that physical clutter is actually connected to what's happening inside your mind?

Meet Kate Evans, psychologist, life coach, and author of the boldly titled "Ditch Your Shit," who believes decluttering is as much about mental transformation as it is about organizing your closet. Having gone from self-described "slob" to someone who maintains a peaceful, organized home, Kate shares her powerful insight: "Caring for your home is self-care."

Throughout our conversation, Kate unpacks the psychological barriers that keep us surrounded by clutter – shame, limiting beliefs, fear of making wrong decisions, and the fascinating tendency to create familiar chaos rather than unfamiliar order. "If I already have a messy house, then I already am at failure, so I can't go any lower," she explains, revealing how our relationship with our stuff often reflects deeper patterns.

The beauty of Kate's approach lies in its gentleness. Start with just one item. Make one decision. Feel the satisfaction of that tiny victory before moving on. Understanding which stage of change you're in – from pre-contemplation to maintenance – removes the pressure and shame that often derails decluttering efforts.

Whether you're drowning in mail piles, can't see past the laundry mountain, or stand in a closet full of clothes crying "I have nothing to wear!" (while literally surrounded by options), this episode offers practical wisdom for creating systems that stick and breaking habits that sabotage your space.

Ready to feel lighter, happier, and more confident in your home? This conversation might be the permission slip you need to finally ditch your... well, you know what.
