Clutter That Keeps Coming Back | Katy Joy Wells (EP437)

Clutter That Keeps Coming Back | Katy Joy Wells (EP437)

If you’ve ever decluttered your home only to find the mess creeping back weeks later, you’re not alone - and it’s not a willpower problem. In this episode, Diane sits down with Katy Wells, author of Making Home Your Happy Place, to explore why traditional organizing methods often fail busy moms. After realizing clutter was keeping her from connecting with her toddler, Katy began uncovering the deeper emotional and behavioral roots behind accumulation. We talk about why some spaces feel impossible to manage, what “good enough” really looks like in a home with kids, and how to stop tying your self-worth to the state of your home.
