Ep 106: Proven Strategies for Decluttering with Your Spouse
Do you love the idea of decluttering, but have a partner or spouse who is less than enthused at the idea of going through their things and letting go of stuff?
If so, you are not alone! In fact, one of the most common questions I receive is how do I get my spouse to declutter with me?
This episode is tackling the tried and true tactics and tips that work with getting your partner on board with living with less. It’s not a one-size-fits all approach, nor will the changes be made overnight, but if you are willing to do the work, the results will be amazing.
Get ready to look at your home and the things in it with fresh eyes, learn why we see clutter differently, and discover some simple tweaks you can make that will have you breathing a sigh of relief instead of being red in the face.
This episode of the Wannabe Minimalist Show will also help you discover:
- The 3-step system to helping others declutter
- A shift in language that makes a BIG difference
- The 2 zones every home needs
- Why nagging never works (and what to do instead)
- How to look at things through their eyes

MUD\WTR® is a coffee alternative made with organic ingredients touted for their health and performance benefits. And even though it only has a fraction of the caffeine found in coffee, you get focus and energy that not only lasts longer, but it's without the jitters, the mid morning crash and that pesky dependency that leaves you with headaches.
But, what I love about it is that I still get the feel of drinking coffee without the upset stomach. Oh, and all of the mushrooms are grown organically right here in California so I feel good about the ingredients I am putting in my body every day.
If you’ve ever wished you could get off the merry-go-round and dependency of coffee, but not want to give up the ritual and joy of a warm beverage, then I recommend you try out MUD\WTR. And as a special treat for listeners of this podcast you can get 20% off your first subscription order by going to wannabeclutterfree.com/mudwtr and using code mudfam20.
