    "My life is falling apart," you say to yourself. Who knew uncluttering your home & simplifying your life could be so challenging? Here's why it feels like everything is falling apart, what to expect, and how to reset.

    Why Does It Feel Like My Life Is Falling Apart?

    You continue to shift, and they stay the same.

    Often, it is lonely in the in-between.

    What To Expect

    On the surface, it feels like life is falling apart — everything is breaking or coming to an end.

    In truth, you are making space for new beginnings.

    A lot is also going on unconsciously behind the scenes.

    Pause regularly.

    Offer your body, heart, and mind rest during this transitional time.

    How To Reset When "Life Falls Apart"

    Clear the chaos.

    As you unclutter your home, you release obsolete versions of you.

    Versions of yourself that you've outgrown.

    You're making room for new versions of yourself to emerge. 

Give these new versions of you space to breathe, space to become.

    Notice when you feel drawn toward new people, career opportunities, and interests.

    Create space in your schedule to welcome these invitations. Move towards them with gratitude.

    Each day, take small steps to reset your home, habits, and life. 

Through this process, you will begin to feel grounded again.

    You Are Not Alone

    Let me repeat that...
    you are not alone.

    You will get there in your own time.

    This is so important, I want to say it again...

    I see you.

    I see how exhausted you are.

    I also see your hard work, and I see how far you've already come.

    You've got this, my friend.
