The Many Layers of Clutter

Click below to listen to this post.👇

If you’ve been in my email family for a while, you know I have a different take on clutter. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about those piles of junk in your closet.

Clutter is anything blocking your best life. It could be thoughts, things, or even people (yep, you read that right!)

It’s way more than just physical stuff.

Now, before you panic, here’s the good news: **all types of clutter can be cleared**. Sure, some are easier than others, but hey, that’s where the juicy stuff begins!

Digging Deeper

Tough to clear clutter means there’s core clutter hiding beneath the surface-level mess. When you start digging into that, you open doors to major personal growth. Pretty cool, right?

My Personal Clutter Hurdle

Here’s what I mean. While my house is pretty tidy, I’ve been wrestling with weight clutter for years and years. It’s a perfect example of clutter with layers upon layers. If it were just about calories in, calories out, we’d all be fitness models, right?

The Latest Layer

Thanks to my awesome therapist, I’ve uncovered a sneaky belief: that it’s not okay to be visible or take up space in the world. Mind. Blown. 🤯

Here’s the irony: I “hide” by carrying extra weight. But in reality, a larger body makes me more visible! In a world quick to judge, it kinda works. The real me, my essence, stays hidden behind this physical shield.

My “Hot Girl Walk” Challenge

In 2020, there was a  TikTok trend called the Hot Girl Walk and I’m putting my spin on it. I call it the “Expand My Field” walk. It’s all about walking confidently, head up, shoulders back, and truly owning my presence.

I tried it at my doctor’s appointment yesterday. I strode in like I was the SHIT. Arms swinging, looking around, no shrinking when I saw others.

And. It. Felt. Freaking. Awesome. 🎉

It’s just the tip of the iceberg, but I’m sticking with it.

Can you believe all of this – the weight, the beliefs, the stories – is actually clutter? Holy smokes!
