## Resource

Ginny sits down with decluttering expert and Maximized Minimalist host Katy Wells for a conversation that goes far deeper than organizing bins and cleaning counters. After a traumatic car accident changed everything for her family, Katy realized her home was demanding energy she no longer had to give and that clutter was shaping the way she showed up as a wife, mom, and person. This episode explores the hidden emotional weight of our stuff, why women’s cortisol levels rise in cluttered homes, how busyness can become a shield from harder things, and why simplifying your environment can change your relationships, your parenting, and even your sense of self. It’s practical, honest, and full of small shifts that can help your home start supporting you instead of draining you.
