Most people think decluttering happens when things get out of control. A closet is too full. The kitchen feels messy. The inbox is overwhelming. So we react. We grab a bag, throw things away, and hope it helps.

But real peace does not come from panic purging. It comes from having a plan.

In this episode, Tracy shares how she creates the declutter plan for Organized Life Academy every year and how you can use the exact same process to organize your home, your office, and even your digital life. Whether you feel overwhelmed by physical clutter or buried in emails and files, this episode will help you see decluttering as a simple, doable project instead of something that never ends.

You will hear how breaking your year into focused months removes overwhelm, how choosing your destination before you start makes decision-making easy, and how even small fifteen-minute sessions can create massive progress when you are working a plan.

This episode is for anyone who wants a calm home, a clear workspace, and a life that feels lighter instead of heavier.

• How to create a declutter plan for the year using twelve monthly focus areas
• Why decluttering works better when it is planned instead of rushed
• How to use the same system for your home and your business
• Why choosing your intention before you start makes everything easier
• How to use fifteen-minute sessions to stay consistent without burnout
• What questions to ask so you know what to keep and what to let go of

Decluttering works best when it is planned, not when it is panicked.

I'm kicking off 2026 with a conversation about how to work less. Sounds desirable, right?

Jenna Harrison is my guest and the founder of The Uncommon Way. She is a coach whose own business evolution went from frantic hustle to a thoughtful 24‑hour workweek that supports her creativity, family life, and joy.

In this episode, Jenna shares how she overcame burnout, what shifted for her personally and professionally, and the mindset and framework she now uses to help other coaches reclaim their time and create more purposeful impact (without working more hours).

We unpack the sneaky thoughts that pull us back into overworking, why constraints spark creativity, and how to stop doing things “just because.” We get into nervous system patterns, tactical boundaries like scheduling CEO time, and how creative business results come from resonance, not hours.

Whether you feel overwhelmed, guilty for trying to take breaks, or stuck thinking “I’ll just finish one more thing first,” this episode is going to shift how you think about time, energy, creativity, and productivity — and give you permission to design the life you actually want instead of the one you inherited from hustle culture.

Are you ready to reflect honestly on your year, the wins, the hard moments, the breakthroughs, and the lessons, so you can step into 2026 with clarity, peace, and purpose? In this year‑end episode, I walk you through my 2025 review, including what I’m leaving behind, what I’m bringing forward, and the mindset shift that changed everything for me.

2025 was big. It was full. It was messy and beautiful at the same time. As we close the year, I want to invite you to a few reflection questions that will help you own your wins, honestly assess your growth, and choose what you’re ready to let go of before 2026 begins.

I share:

• My wins in business and life — including podcast visibility goals, revenue reflections, and family milestones.
• The hardest moment of the year and how vulnerability changed my identity.
• What I’m letting go of in 2025 — and why it matters.
• What I’m carrying into 2026 with intention.
• A new way of thinking about goals that feels lighter, freer, and more curiosity‑driven.

You don’t have to take everything with you into next year. You get to choose.

What You’ll Learn

• How to describe your year with honesty instead of pressure.
• Why acknowledging wins matters more than you think.
• How your identity shifts through struggle and breakthrough.
• The power of asking curious, open goals — instead of rigid demands.
• A fresh mindset for organizing your business and your life in 2026.
• Reflection prompts to close out your year with intention and joy.
