The Hidden Cost of a Messy Workspace | Clutterbug Podcast # 283
Ever feel like your house is one big junk drawer for your job, your hobbies, your dreams, and your daily chaos?
Like your kitchen table is now a desk, your closet is holding camera gear, and everywhere you look is just one more to-do staring back at you?
In this episode, I open up about the sneaky stowaway that came with working from home: work clutter — physical, emotional, and digital. Whether you're running a business from your basement, balancing a hybrid job, or trying to keep your crafting chaos under control, this episode will help you draw a line (maybe even build a wall!) between your home and your hustle.
We unpack why work-from-home clutter is so overwhelming — and what you can actually do about it. I’m sharing real strategies that have helped me survive running a business with a family of five and a house full of bins, binders, bees (yes, bees), and big feelings.
Whether you’re a crafter, a creator, or just tired of your job living rent-free in your living room — this episode will leave you feeling inspired, capable, and ready to take back your space.
✨ We talk about:
- Why your home feels like it’s bursting at the seams — and what to do first
- The truth about hybrid work clutter (and why it’s the worst)
- The 90-day rule for work stuff you haven’t used - How to set boundaries when your office is your kitchen
- The power of zoning and why clutter needs “walls”
- The hidden mental load of hobby clutter (and how to deal with it)

This Productivity Hack will Change Your Life! | Clutterbug Podcast # 282
Ever feel like you’re doing everything and still falling behind?
Like no matter how many lists you make or how early you wake up, your calendar is still chaos — and your needs always come last?
In this episode, I sit down with productivity and time management expert Megan Sumrell — founder of The Pink Bee and creator of the TOP Framework — to talk about why most traditional planning systems don’t work for women… and what actually does.
We unpack how to reclaim control of your time without rigid schedules, color-coded overwhelm, or burning out by Wednesday. Megan shares practical, shame-free strategies that help you plan around real life — including the kids, the mental load, and all the curveballs that show up on a Tuesday morning.
Whether you’re juggling a business, a household, or just trying to feel like you’re not failing at everything — this episode will leave you feeling capable, seen, and ready to create a week that works for you.
✨ We talk about:
Why women’s productivity struggles aren’t a personal failure
The “uncertainty buffer” — and why it’s a weekly game-changer
How traditional time blocking sets you up to fail
The powerful shift from daily to weekly planning
Why structure actually gives you more freedom (not less)
How to stop procrastinating — without guilt

You’ll learn:

Living in an Organized Space with ADHD – Jessica McCabe’s Update | Clutterbug Podcast # 280
If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, “Why can’t I get it together?” — this episode is for you. Whether you’re managing ADHD, feeling buried in clutter, or simply struggling to make your space work for you, you’re not alone.
In this episode, I sit down with Jessica McCabe — New York Times bestselling author and creator of the wildly popular YouTube channel How to ADHD — to talk about what it really takes to make your home ADHD-friendly… and why that matters so much more than you think.
We share the story of how I flew to Seattle and spent three days transforming Jessica’s home — from overwhelming chaos to a place of peace, function, and pride. But this conversation goes far beyond organizing tips. We dive into how clutter affects mental health, relationships, self-worth, and the infamous “ADHD tax” — and what happens when we finally set up systems that are built for how our brains actually work.
✨ We chat about:
The emotional impact of living in constant clutter — and how it steals our time, joy, and energy
Why traditional organizing systems often fail neurodivergent brains
Jessica’s transformation from chaos and shame to calm and control (yes, in just 3 days!)
The unexpected ways decluttering improves relationships, productivity, and mental health
Practical, ADHD-friendly strategies that make staying organized actually possible
Why organizing for your “worst day” is the secret to lasting change
