You’re Entering a New Chapter.
Your home may look fine on the surface.
But beneath it are postponed decisions - inherited items, unfinished projects, belongings tied to earlier versions of you.
​
What used to work just doesn’t anymore.
You don’t need more organizing tips.
You need a clear way to decide what belongs in your future, and what doesn’t.
​​
​
This Is For You If:
-
You’re entering your second act and sense your home no longer reflects who you are now.
​
-
You’ve kept quality items, “someday” projects, or inherited belongings and you’re ready to reassess them honestly.
​​
-
You’re tired of postponing decisions.
​​
-
You don’t want someone to declutter for you. You want to learn how to decide confidently.
​​
-
You value structure, responsibility, and steady forward movement.
​
-
You’re willing to feel some discomfort in order to create meaningful change.
​​
This Is Not For You If:
-
You want someone to tell you exactly what to keep and what to toss.
​
-
You’re looking for quick storage fixes or aesthetic makeovers.
​
-
You believe letting go means losing part of yourself.
​
-
You’re unwilling to reconsider habits that created your current situation.
​
-
You say change is important, but avoid the decisions required to create it.
This Isn’t About Organizing.
Organizing is about where to store something.
​
I help you decide whether it belongs in your future at all.
​
Most people organize clutter. You’ll learn how to eliminate indecision.
​
Decluttering isn’t about bins, labels, or aesthetic perfection.
​
It’s about decision-making.
​
It’s about identity.
​
It’s about readiness.
​
The Decide then Declutter Method
Inside A Less Cluttered Life, you’ll learn a structured, repeatable approach to decluttering that helps you:
​
-
Remove friction so decisions don’t get postponed.
​
-
Stop relying on motivation.
​
-
Build confidence through small, steady follow-through.
​
-
Release what no longer serves you. Thoughtfully, not dramatically.
​
-
Create a home aligned with who you are now. Without creating chaos in the process.
​
This is not extreme minimalism.
This is structured recalibration.
One item.
One drawer.
One decision at a time.
​
Coming soon...
A structured course experience opens soon.

What happens when you stop postponing
"It wasn’t just about clearing space—it was about making room for what’s next.
After losing my longtime partner, I needed a fresh start. I joined the class hoping to declutter, but I found something deeper. Susan’s approach helped me see that decluttering wasn’t about trashing everything, it was about creating a home that supports who I am now and what I need moving forward.​"

What happens when you stop postponing
"I thought everything was useful—but now I feel empowered. Before working with Susan, I was convinced I didn’t need to declutter. Everything had a purpose. But when I focused on just one small spot at a time, I started seeing what I could actually let go of. It shifted my entire perspective—and felt empowering, not overwhelming."

What happens when you stop postponing
"Decluttering took more thought than I expected—but it was worth it. I assumed I just needed a few hours to tidy up each room. But when I actually started, I realized how much intention and decision-making it really takes. Susan’s method helped me slow down, think clearly, and make choices I feel good about decluttering—not rushed or regretful."
