What does a professional decluttering coach notice the minute she walks into a cluttered home?

Probably not what you think.

In this episode of Let’s Talk About Clutter, Margo Staten shares 7 things she notices immediately when working inside clients' homes: from what's happening on the floors and flat surfaces to overstuffed storage, too much furniture, duplicates, and the clutter that seems to travel from room to room.

More importantly, Margo explains what these patterns can tell you about why your home isn't functioning the way you need it to.

If your house feels cluttered but you don't know where to start, this episode will help you step back, look at your space differently, and identify changes that can make a big impact without decluttering your entire home in one weekend.

Are you constantly buying bins, baskets, and organizers—but your home still feels cluttered?

You may not have an organization problem. You may simply have too much stuff.

In this episode of Let’s Talk About Clutter, professional decluttering coach Margo Staten shares 5 things you should stop trying to organize and start decluttering instead.

From an everyday piece of furniture that becomes a clutter magnet to clothes, beauty products, kitchen gadgets, and home decor, Margo breaks down why organizing isn't always the answer—and why decluttering first can make your entire home easier to manage.

You'll also learn the important difference between decluttering and organizing, why buying more storage can sometimes make clutter worse, and the simple question to ask before buying another bin:

Do I need to organize this—or do I just need less of it?

If you're overwhelmed by clutter, running out of storage, or constantly reorganizing the same stuff, this episode will help you stop managing clutter and start getting it out of your home.

📚 Coming October 13: Let’s Talk About Clutter
My new book takes the conversation even deeper—why we keep what we keep, how clutter affects us, and how to finally start letting go without turning your entire house upside down.

More details coming soon. ❤️
