Ready to finally calm the overwhelm and create a home and life you actually enjoy? The Wannabe Clutter Free podcast is here to help you clear the clutter, simplify your routines, and find freedom in the life you’re building. I’m Deanna Yates, a busy mom who knows what it’s like to juggle family, career, and the never-ending piles of stuff. From selling 80% of what we owned to travel with our toddler, to managing the daily chaos of running a home with a school-aged kid, I’ve learned that living with less isn’t about deprivation. It’s about creating more space, more peace, and more joy. Each week, I share real-life stories, simple decluttering strategies, and mindset shifts that make it easier to let go of what’s weighing you down. You’ll also hear from inspiring guests who share practical tips and fresh perspectives on minimalism, home organization, intentional living, and building habits that last. If you’re tired of feeling buried in clutter and crave a home that feels calm, welcoming, and easy to manage, this show is for you. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, freedom, and finding space for what truly matters to you.All rights reserved. Desarrollo Personal Éxito Personal

    Jan 14 2026

But according to Tracy McCubbin, it rarely is. In this honest and grounding conversation, Tracy and Deanna talk about why clutter forms, why it sticks, and how emotional patterns like perfectionism, guilt, and generational habits quietly shape our homes. You will hear why buying more bins does not solve clutter, how to move away from Pinterest perfect organizing, and how to create practical systems that support real life. Tracy shares what it actually looks like to declutter with kindness instead of pressure and why starting small matters more than doing it all at once. This episode is for busy women who want a clutter free home without shame, extremes, or unrealistic expectations. It is especially helpful if you have ever felt like your home should be easier to manage or wondered why organizing advice does not seem to stick. Tracy also shares insights from her books Making Space, Clutter Free and Make Space for Happiness, along with what she is seeing most right now after nearly 20 years as a professional declutterer. If clutter has been weighing on you, this conversation offers a deep breath, a mindset shift, and a realistic path toward intentional living and a clutter free home. We cover: Why clutter is not a character flaw How emotional and generational patterns influence what we keep Why perfectionism makes organizing harder, not easier What “good enough” systems look like for real homes How to start small and build momentum When asking for help is the smartest next step Time Stamps: 00:00 Welcome + why clutter feels personal 03:10 Emotional attachment and why letting go is hard 06:30 Why clutter is not a personal failure 10:05 How childhood and generational habits shape clutter 13:20 The emotional “blocks” behind clutter 16:45 Why bins don’t fix the problem 25:30 Decluttering without pressure or shame 34:10 Creating judgment-free systems that last 38:40 Delegating, asking for help, and support systems 45:30 Common decluttering myths debunked 50:10 Final thoughts on clutter-free living **************** Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.silvermansound.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ **************** We’d love to hear how you’re applying the strategies discussed in this episode.

    I Read 100 Books This Year. These 5 Changed How I Declutter, Rest, and Live (Ep 290)
    Dec 31 2025
    Reading 100 books this year reshaped how I approach decluttering, burnout, and intentional living. These five standouts changed my energy, mindset, and home, without adding clutter. Resources Mentioned: Wannabe Clutter Free on Instagram Reading used to feel impossible for me, until this year. In 2025, I read (and listened to) nearly 100 books, and along the way something surprising happened. My mindset around decluttering, burnout, productivity, and intentional living began to shift in ways I didn’t expect. In this episode, I’m sharing: The decluttering and life books that shaped my year The five standouts that genuinely changed how I live and coach Why organizing alone isn’t enough when burnout is involved How I read 100 books without adding physical clutter to my home Practical tips for letting go of books without guilt My 5 Standout Reads of 2025 Burnout by Emily Nagoski PhD& Amelia Nagoski DMA Why you can’t organize your way out of burnout and how completing the stress cycle changed everything for me. The Energy Bus by Jon Gordon A simple (yes, slightly cheesy) story with a powerful reminder: your energy affects everything - your home included. I Didn’t Do the Thing Today by Madeline Dore A refreshing take on ambition, rest, and worth, without hustle culture or guilt. How to Keep House While Drowning by K.C. Davis A shame-free approach to care tasks that gave me permission to stop tying my worth to a clean house. No New Things by Ashlee Piper A powerful reframe on consumption, shopping habits, and stopping clutter at the source. How I Read 100 Books Without Adding Clutter I listened to all of these books using Libby, a free app connected to my local library. Audiobooks allowed me to “read” while cleaning, driving, or folding laundry and I never had to bring more stuff into my home. What book has changed how you think about your home or life?
