I decided to drop this episode a little earlier than normal because we only have a couple of days left in the year and I wanted to provide you with some encouragement for post-holiday decluttering. Take advantage of this special time of year - a lot of you may not have work OR you may be able to utilize your children that are home on holiday break. Whatever the case may be, I am here to assist you as you calm the chaos of the holidays!
My tips to declutter:
- Kitchen
- Holiday boxes
- Holiday decorations
- Christmas Cards
- Old toys

This week, I bring you my interview with author Ali Wenzke. Ali and her husband moved ten times in eleven years, living in six states across the U.S. She created her popular blog, The Art of Happy Moving, to help others build a happier life before, during, and after a move. She recently released her first book with the same title: The Art of Happy Moving: How to Declutter, Pack, and Start Over While Maintaining Your Sanity and Finding Happiness. Her moving advice has been featured in Forbes, Readers' Digest, U.S News & World Report, Real Simple, Today.com, Fast Company and more. Today we discuss how to make moving easier with children (involving them in the process) common mistakes we tend to make, the correlation between habit change and moving and much more. I highly recommend listening to this conversation with Ali even if you don't have a move on the horizon.
