Decluttering isn’t a motivation problem. It’s a nervous system process. If your space feels overwhelming or stuck, your body might be trying to protect you.

Most decluttering advice tells you to get rid of more things and try harder. But for many women, it’s not the stuff that’s the problem. It’s the nervous system response underneath it.

In this episode of the Space and Grace Podcast, I’m talking with decluttering mentor Dorota Kuldo about why traditional approaches don’t work for women who have been stuck for years, and how your body and brain quietly shut down your motivation, energy, and decision-making.

We explore:
• why masculine, high-pressure decluttering methods trigger shut-down and shame
• how the nervous system protects us from change, even when we want it
• what’s really happening when you freeze, procrastinate, or feel overwhelmed by clutter
• why motivation fades fast and what to do instead
• how to start with the “easy” things so your capacity expands over time
• the gentle approach for letting go of sentimental items without forcing or guilt

This conversation goes deeper than stuff. It’s about the emotional load, the nervous system response, and rebuilding your capacity to make decisions from safety instead of survival mode.

If you’ve ever looked at a cupboard, a wardrobe, or a room and felt your whole body say “too much,” this episode will help you understand why.
