What If the Goal Wasn’t More—
But Just Enough?

If your house feels like it's bursting at the seams, and you’re constantly caught between “I should be more organized” and “I just can’t keep up,” this episode is going to feel like a deep exhale.

We’re not talking about color-coded closets or minimalist Pinterest homes today. We’re talking about something much more doable—and honestly, more powerful. What if you gave yourself permission to have just enough?

In this episode of the Stress Less Podcast, I’m sharing the mindset shift that’s been changing everything in my own home lately. As a mom with ADHD and a full plate, I know firsthand how heavy the mental load of motherhood can feel—especially when our homes are overflowing with too much. Too much stuff. Too many systems. Too many things to keep up with. It’s exhausting.

So instead of striving for “more,” I’ve been leaning into the idea of just enough. Just enough clothes to get through the week without laundry mountains. Just enough toys so my kids actually play with what they have. Just enough kitchen tools to cook without clutter. Not minimalism in the trendy, beige-aesthetic way. I’m talking about function over perfection and freedom over overwhelm.

This episode is packed with real-life examples of how I’m applying this mindset in my home—plus encouragement to help you do the same. Because when your home supports your actual life (instead of demanding more from you), everything gets easier.

And if you’re ready for tangible tools to help you start, don’t forget to download my free Decide Guide or book a Stress Less Session if you’re craving support. The links are in the show notes, and I’m cheering you on the whole way.

Tune into the full episode now and start exploring what “just enough” might look like in your own home—and how it might just change everything.
