This is by far my fave experience of the year 👯♀️
For the last two weeks, I've been on a decluttering kick.🧹 This has me wanting to share some other interesting Money Healing Club factoids with you:
This “Spring Cleaning” theme is the first time I've really leaned into a themed month and it's giving me so much energy and renewal for both my life and the Club! 🌟
I've decluttered a silverware drawer and kitchen cabinet and decided on a few choice pieces of art that I'll frame. 🖼️
I've started an impressive pile of yard sale things. 🏷️
I've set up a new phone which led me to delete a lot of unused apps and files. 📱
Through doing my own decluttering, I'm counter-intuitively tolerating my clutter better as simply part of who I am (a busy creative parent who likes to have a lot of interesting things going on and spends a lot of time at home). 🏡✨
I've become RUTHLESS with the email unsubscribing which is helping my work-day focus. 📧✂️
In the Club this week, we're reading “How to Keep House While Drowning” by KC Davis LPC which I highly recommend (more details at end of this email). 📚
I'm really proud of the collaboration with Courtney Florey of the Simplicity Society. Our session in the Club last week was 🔥(see my before/after pics at end of email). Finding wonderful values-aligned people on the socials keeps me living there, and I'm fueled by spreading the word of a softer, more compassionate, less restrictive approach to money which has led me to (or attracted) wonderful and aligned people like Courtney. PS - I'll be a guest presenter in her membership next week talking money decluttering! and the code RACHEL still gets you 50% off first month).
Cool, huh? 😎
What about you? Since you started on your money healing journey and/or decluttering focus, have you had any cool experiences around it? Or maybe something pleasantly surprising? ✨
Feel free to email me your experience—I’d love to hear about it. I'm waiting.📩
(Thanks for sharing your journey with me, by the way. It means a lot to me that we're in this together.) 🫂
What I'm reading…
This month's book in the Club is “How to Keep House While Drowning: A Gentle Approach to Cleaning and Organizing” by KC Davis LPC. 📖
Yes, it's keeping in line with the decluttering/spring cleaning theme, but this book is also REALLY different from what you'd expect. It's actually not so much about decluttering. It's about boldly making your home work for you 🏠, in all your marvelous idiosyncrasies (and more seriously, mental health issues). It's a tiny book that is easily skimmable.
Examples: if laundry is a total chore for you, how about you dedicate one corner of your house to make clothes piles? No folding, no sorting, you (and your kids) can just change there. Had a tough week? Stressed as hell? Use paper plates for dinner and alleviate the stress of dishes. It's really ok. 🧺➡️📦🍽️
This book gives you the ultimate permission slip to ditch the Pinterest-perfect life and create a home system that supports you instead of stresses you. 🤗💖
A messy home is not a moral failing. Just as I say that impulse spending and debt are not moral failings. ANOTHER PARALLEL with money and decluttering!!
And you know I'm all about the supportive, softer, and counter-mainstream approach to you living safely and happily. 🌈😊
Let me know, have you read it? 📖
Before decluttering with Courtney: I'm sad I have so much random art in my basement.
After: I'm not done but I've made some good choices about which art I'll frame
To you and your marvelous (+ maybe messy) life! 💖
