We talked all about how to stick to our goals (decluttering and otherwise). Carrie shares practical frameworks for staying focused on what actually matters, especially when results don’t happen overnight. What you’ll learn: • How to use the “VIBE” framework to prioritize goals and protect your energy • Why burnout isn’t about stress itself—it’s about the lack of stress recovery • Why saying “no” right now doesn’t mean “no” forever …and plenty more. Whether you're clearing out your closet or rethinking your career, this conversation is a reminder that focused, intentional action will always take you further than trying to do everything at once.
