The Power of Tiny Resets:
Why Quick Routines Matter More Than You Think

Ever feel like you're constantly picking up your house but it never actually feels clean or calm? Like you’re tidying all day but somehow still drowning in clutter and chaos? This week’s episode of the Stress Less Podcast is exactly what you need. We're talking about tiny resets—the small, doable routines that help you stay on top of your space without spending your entire day cleaning. Whether you're a busy mom with ADHD, a teacher trying to balance it all, or just someone who wants to feel less overwhelmed in your own home, this episode will help you simplify your home management and take back your peace of mind.

I’m diving into why little resets—like clearing the kitchen island, putting shoes back in bins, or doing a three-minute tidy—can make a huge impact on your home (and your stress level). You’ll hear how I break down reset routines to work for my brain and lifestyle, how I’m teaching my kids to join in without drama, and why it’s okay to start small and build habits slowly. I also share my go-to method for identifying which spaces need the most attention and how to get your family on board with keeping them under control. It’s not about perfection. It’s about function, and this episode will give you the encouragement and practical steps to make your home feel more manageable right now.

Plus, I share the method behind my Thursday Night Tidies, a simple routine that sets me up for a peaceful weekend, and walk you through my 3-step reset process that can be done in less time than scrolling your Instagram feed. If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t even know where to start,” I’ve got you. I’ll walk you through how to identify your trigger spots, reset your home one space at a time, and build habits that actually stick.
