Ep 150: The Secret to a Calm Home Life: These Routines and Boundaries

Do you feel like your house is always a mess no matter how much you try to clean it up? Does it stress you out? Do you feel like you’re constantly spinning in circles moving from one mess to the other?


I totally get it. I used to struggle with that too. The laundry pile never seemed to end, there were always dirty dishes in the sink, the piles just seemed to move from one area to another, but never really disappear. And at the end of the day, I was rewarded with every home cooks favorite question…what’s for dinner?


But, I found a way to make it easier! Of course I’m going to tell you to create some simple systems so that you can be more organized, but the game changer is putting boundaries around these systems.


When you have a system in place, it's like having a step-by-step guide for getting things done. You'll be amazed at how much easier it is to keep your space organized and tidy, whether you're cooking meals, doing laundry, or just trying to keep everything in order.

And when you’re ready to take it to the next level, you can combine these routines with boundaries - that’s where the real peace of mind comes in.
