She explores how clearing your physical space, experimentation, and small resets can help our delightfully distracted brains find clarity and calm amongst the chaos.

Decluttering isn’t about perfection or productivity. It’s about creating mental breathing room, experimenting your way out of burnout, and reconnecting with what truly matters.

Have you ever had the perfect plan — with the color-coded schedule, the motivating playlist, everything all lined up — only to hit a wall that sends your brain spiraling into “I guess I’m just trash” territory? What if pivoting didn’t mean failure at all? What if it was actually a sign of growth?

On this episode of Get It Together, Weirdo, host and get-your-shit-together coach Sarah Bowser dives into the ease, creativity, and joy that can come from embracing the mid-project pivot. She explores how to let go of perfectionism, adapt when things don’t go as planned, and reframe “failure” as learning-in-progress. She opens up about her own evolution from a perfection-obsessed, project-laminating student to a self-proclaimed weirdo who experiments, adjusts, and then keeps moving forward.

This episode is proof that you can stay motivated when your plans implode, pivot without spiraling, and get shit done in your own weird, nerdy way.

Have you ever been told to “stop poking holes in the process,” “stick to the plan,” or “stop asking so many questions”? What if the very curiosity you’ve been told to suppress is actually your greatest strength?

On this episode, host and get-your-shit-together coach Sarah Bowser shares why curiosity is your superpower and how following rabbit holes can actually help you get shit together. She covers what happens when we internalize guilt for getting “distracted,” why we should reframe rabbit holes as valuable maps rather than wastes of time, and how intentional exploration can help you discover new ways of working, learning, and creating.

For Sarah, learning to embrace her weird, nerdy curiosity was a turning point in reclaiming both her energy and sense of purpose. This episode is for you if you’d also like to create, grow, and thrive in ways that honor your wonderfully weird brain.
