How to Declutter Your Bedroom for
More Rest and Less Mental Clutter

Let’s talk about one of the most important, but most overlooked, spaces in your home: your bedroom. If it currently feels more like a laundry room/storage unit/holiday-decor holding zone than a peaceful place to rest, you are so not alone. And this episode of the Stress Less Podcast is exactly what you need.

As moms (especially those of us with ADHD) it’s easy for our bedrooms to turn into the catchall space for everything we don’t know what to do with. The laundry basket with the socks you’ve been meaning to match, the donation pile that’s been sitting there for weeks, or the nightstand buried under books you’re not actually reading. Sound familiar?

In this episode, I’m walking you through 9 powerful questions to help you declutter your bedroom, reclaim the calm, and create a space that actually feels like a place to rest. You don’t need a total bedroom makeover. You don’t need to pull everything out at once. You just need a gentle mindset shift (and a few intentional prompts) to help you make decisions that bring more peace and ease into your everyday life.

This isn’t about perfection, minimalism, or color-coded bins. This is about function, comfort, and supporting the version of you that’s living real life right now—not the one with four hours of free time and a Pinterest-perfect home. These questions will help you figure out what stays, what goes, and what needs to be used or stored somewhere else. We cover everything from furniture and decor to under-bed storage and those mystery baskets hiding in the corners.

If your bedroom has been weighing you down, this episode will help you breathe again. And if you want to follow along with all 9 decluttering questions as you go, don’t forget to grab The Decide Guide—my free room-by-room resource that helps you declutter with confidence (without second-guessing every decision).
