EP 20: Declutter Your Mind, Transform Your Life

In this episode, Meg and Jill explore the powerful connection between physical clutter and mental noise. What begins as a conversation about cleaning and household systems unfolds into a deeper discussion about nervous system regulation, coherence, conscious choice, and how we reclaim our energy.

They reflect on how clutter impacts stress, family dynamics, productivity, and emotional wellbeing. The episode introduces the idea that while physical decluttering is helpful, true peace comes from learning how to declutter the mind regardless of the environment.

They explore:

• How physical clutter directly impacts mental and emotional regulation

• Why systems and habits in the home matter more than perfection

• The difference between control and structure

• How resentment builds when responsibility is unevenly carried

• The concept of being the default person in a household

• Why shared responsibility builds connection and frees up time

• How clutter creates invisible cognitive load

• HeartMath technology and the concept of coherence

• Restorative emotions versus depleting emotions

• How thoughts directly impact heart rhythm and nervous system state

• Why frustration keeps us stuck in depletion

• Conscious choice as the gateway to peace

• How to shift from reaction to agency

• Gratitude as a physiological reset

• Why you do not need external change to reclaim inner calm

This episode is grounding, reflective, and deeply practical. It is especially supportive if you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, or stuck in cycles of frustration at home or work.
