  • Clutter, Chaos, and Categorically Caroline
    2025/08/11

    Ever wonder what an English teacher-turned-professional organizer sees when she walks into a room full of doom piles and emotional clutter? Spoiler alert: it’s not just about the mess. In this episode, we chat with the fabulous Caroline from Categorically Caroline about her journey from the classroom to the chaos—aka the beautifully unpredictable world of executive function and organizing support.

    We cover everything from why clutter isn’t just “stuff” (hello, emotional baggage), to how Caroline helps families ditch perfectionism and start building habits that actually stick. She shares her favorite first steps for overwhelmed families, her take on what success really looks like…

    …and reminds us all that progress doesn’t require color-coded bins, just a willingness to start somewhere—even if that somewhere is next to a pile of unmatched socks and last year’s science fair project.

    If you’ve ever felt like your space is working against your brain, this one’s for you. Tune in, laugh a little, and maybe even get inspired to tackle that one corner you’ve been side-eyeing for months.
