Do you ever feel like you're drowning in stuff... but you still donât know how to let it go?
In this episode, I sit down with the lovely Julia Ubbenga from Rich In What Matters â a minimalist mama of five who transformed her entire life by decluttering not just her home, but her heart, soul, and mind.
We dive deep into why we hold onto clutter, how consumerism traps us emotionally, and what it really means to live an intentional, clutter-free life. Juliaâs story is powerful â from $40K in debt and postpartum depression to building a simpler, calmer, more joyful life (with five kids, no less!).
If youâve ever held onto something out of guilt, or felt like your stuff is managing you, this episode will hit home.
âš We chat about:
The emotional side of declutteringBreaking the âstuff = loveâ mindsetWhy youâre not failing â youâre just overwhelmedSimple mindset shifts to stop the buying cycleDecluttering as self-worth and self-careHow to get started when it all feels like too muchđż Connect with Julia:

Buckle up, Buttercup, because today weâre talking tough love and small steps to BIG changes and create instant motivation. Weâre going to tackle how to get your life together without feeling like youâre climbing Mount Everest - Iâm sharing my favourite shortcuts and hacks that have seriously changed my life. Sound good? Letâs dive right in!
Give Yourself a Reality Check - âNO ONE IS COMING TO RESCUE YOUâ. We have the home, (body, relationship, finances etc) that we are willing to put up with. Donât like where you are right now? Change it. Only you have the empower, so put on that cape and save your own damn self. Break Big Goals into 5-Minute Goals - Micro Commitments are the secret. Train your brain to stop the âall or nothingâ mentality by focusing on tiny 5-minute tasks. Daily Brain Dump - Every morning write down all the things you want to get done and then circle the top three. Out of those top three, star the ONE that is NON-NEGOTIABLE and must get done that day.Try Hypnosis! Iâm using an app called Kure and itâs been helpful! Change your brain just by listening.Create a Vision Board - Pick a few goals and dreams (make sure they are in the realm of possibility) and create a daily visual reminder! I have a FREE vision board template here: https://clutterbug.me/products/digital-vision-board-templatesGet an Accountability Buddy! Schedule a weekly date through Zoom, a phone call or an in-person meeting and body double with someone while you get stuff done together! Get in a Win before 10:00am - Do a small thing that feels like an accomplishment before 10:00 am - Examples: Make your bed, write a to-do list, stretch for 10 minutes.Habit Stacking - Do a new tiny habit at the same time as you do an old habit - Example: Write a daily to-do list while your morning coffee brews or take your vitamins when you brush your teeth.Make a Power Playlist - Make a playlist with all the songs that fire you up!Borrow Motivation - Watch and listen to FIRED UP people and borrow some of their passion and fierce motivation. Here is a good one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4KsEUiw3gANightly Gratitude Journal - I knowâŠdonât roll your eyes, just try it.You can find more Clutterbug content here:
