The Wannabe Clutter Free podcast is here to help you clear the clutter, simplify your routines, and find freedom in the life you’re building. I’m Deanna Yates, a busy mom who knows what it’s like to juggle family, career, and the never-ending piles of stuff. From selling 80% of what we owned to travel with our toddler, to managing the daily chaos of running a home with a school-aged kid, I’ve learned that living with less isn’t about deprivation. It’s about creating more space, more peace, and more joy. Each week, I share real-life stories, simple decluttering strategies, and mindset shifts that make it easier to let go of what’s weighing you down. You’ll also hear from inspiring guests who share practical tips and fresh perspectives on minimalism, home organization, intentional living, and building habits that last. If you’re tired of feeling buried in clutter and crave a home that feels calm, welcoming, and easy to manage, this show is for you. It’s not about perfection. It’s about progress, freedom, and finding space for what truly matters to you.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-22T16:21:06.048111+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120"},"episode":{"title":"Why Your Routines Never Stick & The 3-Word Fix with Monica Packer (Ep 319)","slug":"why-your-routines-never-stick-the-3-word-fix-with-monica-packer-ep-319","published_at":"2026-07-22T07:10:44+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120/why-your-routines-never-stick-the-3-word-fix-with-monica-packer-ep-319","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/wannabe-clutter-free-declutter-simplify-find-freedom-917120","url":"https://wannabeclutterfree.com/319","audio_url":"https://audio2.redcircle.com/episodes/f4b626d6-783b-4b5a-9eef-b1b6da5ae31c/stream.mp3","summary":"If you struggle to stick to your routines, create new habits, or find perfectionism running your life, this episode is for you. I'm sitting down with Monica Packer, host of the top-rated About Progress podcast and author of the upcoming book Sticky Habits, for a conversation that completely reframes why habits feel so hard for busy moms. Monica opens up about her own journey with perfectionism, and then walks us through something surprising: almost every popular habit book was written by and tested on lives that look nothing like a mother's. Most of us carry an insane amount of invisible labor every day. So when the standard advice doesn't stick, we blame ourselves, when really the method was never built for us. Here's what we get into: Why perfectionism is really a misplacement of identity, and what it quietly costs us The invisible labor research that explains why habit advice keeps failing women How to redefine consistency so it's actually possible on your worst days The four qualities that make a habit sticky Monica's simple WTA formula (When, Then, After) for habits that finally hold This is warm, validating, and full of the kind of slow, messy, sustainable growth we love around here. It pairs perfectly with the decluttering work you're already doing. The thing Monica most wants you to know? You can change. Everyone can.
