Hi, I’m Susan, the founder of A Less Cluttered Life and a practical guide for women entering a new season of life.
​
I believe midlife is a time for thoughtful refinement... not accumulation.
​
My path to this work began after clearing out my parents’ home. Walking through narrow pathways lined with boxes and bins, I saw how years of “just in case” decisions had quietly shaped the way they lived.
Then I looked around my own spaces... and recognized the same pattern.
​
That realization shifted everything.
​I didn’t start decluttering to create a minimalist home. I started because I wanted my space to reflect the life I was living now not... simply preserve everything from before.
What I’ve learned... both personally and through working with women like you... is this:
​
Most midlife women don’t struggle with knowing how to declutter.
​
They struggle with deciding.
You’ve built a full life. You’ve carried responsibilities, memories, and meaningful seasons. But when life shifts... even subtly... your home doesn’t automatically shift with it.
And that’s where clutter lingers.
Not because you’re disorganized.
Not because you lack motivation.
But because no one taught you how to make thoughtful, confident decisions about what moves forward with you.
As a former nature and art teacher, I’ve spent decades breaking complex ideas into manageable steps. Today, I apply that same structured approach to decluttering.
We reflect... briefly and intentionally.
Then we decide.
Then we move forward.
​
Not minimalist.
Not rushed.
Not sentimental for sentiment’s sake.
Just practical, steady progress.
Inside A Less Cluttered Life, you’ll find clear guidance, step-by-step processes, and supportive community... all designed to help you sort through decades of belongings with confidence.
​
Because decluttering at this stage isn’t about getting rid of things.
It’s about being ready.
Ready for a home that feels settled.
Ready for fewer unfinished decisions.
Ready for the next chapter... whatever that looks like for you.
​
If you’re ready to approach your belongings with clarity instead of guilt... I’m here to guide you.
