As the year comes to a close, most of us feel a subtle mental weight — not from what’s ahead, but from all the loose ends still lingering behind us.
Half-finished tasks…
Unspoken conversations…
Projects we started but never completed…
Those “open loops” silently drain your energy, split your focus, and make it harder to step into a new year feeling clear, aligned, and motivated.
In this episode, we talk about why closing open loops frees mental and emotional bandwidth, and how finishing even small, lingering tasks can give you back clarity, confidence, and momentum going into January.
You’ll learn:
If you want 2025 (or whatever year you’re entering next) to feel lighter, sharper, and aligned — start by clearing the mental clutter of the past year.
Close what needs closing. Release what no longer fits. And enter the next season without dragging the old one behind you.
Take my Clutter Clarity Quiz and pinpoint the exact types of clutter draining your energy — so you know what’s worth finishing before the year ends.

Simplifying Your Life: What It Really Is (And What It Definitely Is NOT)
Most people think simplifying your life means turning into a minimalist, living in a beige house, and owning one plate.
Cute idea — but completely wrong.
In today’s episode, I’m breaking down what simple living actually looks like… and why it has nothing to do with having less stuff and everything to do with living a life that finally fits you.
You’ll hear:
✨ The biggest misunderstanding about “simplifying”
✨ What people think simple living is vs. what it truly is
✨ Why performance-based minimalism becomes its own kind of clutter
✨ What real aligned simplicity looks and feels like
✨ How to recognize the friction telling you your life doesn’t fit anymore
✨ What becomes possible when you finally let go of the “shoulds”
If you loved my recent 3-part series on romanticizing your life, you’ll want to listen all the way through — because THIS is how you create the kind of life you actually want to romanticize.

👉 https://flora-s0qajxpb.scoreapp.com
Before you step into a new year with fresh goals and a clean planner, take 15 minutes to do the one thing that will actually change your year: a Yearly Clutter Review.
In this mini workshop, you’ll look at the nine types of clutter—Mental, Emotional, Spiritual, Digital, Financial, Daily, Body, Process, and Environmental—and see exactly where this past year worked… and where clutter quietly took over.
This isn’t about judgment. It’s about clarity.
Because what you don’t clear… you carry.
You’ll reflect on:
✨ How you feel about your decluttering efforts this year
✨ What you wanted to clear out (physically + internally)
✨ What actually got done
✨ What’s still lingering
✨ What worked
✨ What didn’t
✨ And where your biggest opportunity is for the year ahead
Before you plan 2026, give yourself the gift of a clear starting point.

Romanticize Your ‘After’ Before Decluttering.
Romanticizing your life isn’t fantasy — it’s preparation.

We’re talking about:
✨ Why motivation dies without a vision
✨ The grief hiding in your clutter
