Welcome to “How to Stuff Your Home.” 

This is a newsletter for women who are capable, thoughtful, wildly competent…

… and sweating in their bedroom on a random Thursday night because they barely won the battle with their vacuum cleaner and their wrapping paper and the 42 rolls of toilet paper that fell on their head while they were just trying to get their suitcase out of the closet to go on vacation.

You’ll want to read it if:

Your home isn’t terrible. (You’re not living in squalor.)
It’s not unlivable. (Although you kinda hate living in it.)
It’s not unclean. (You invest $80 every other week in cleanliness.)
It’s just…harder than it should be.

It’s a little too good at draining your energy when it should be the one place in the entire world that feels like safe harbor when you walk through the front door.

Each week, I write about the quiet, often unspoken experience of living in a space where it feels like the walls are slowly closing in on you. And what to do to stop your stuff from eating you alive.

Not in a “10 tips to organize your closet” kind of way.
Or a “here’s a tidying up checklist” kind of way.
Or a “how to become a minimalist” manifesto kind of way.

But in a way that helps you:

• see your home differently

• understand why it feels the way it does

• and start to imagine what it could feel like instead

Because the tidying tips and the organizing hacks don’t work when you’re dealing with stuff that holds your identity, your memories, your family history, and all the grief, love, and Barbie doll accessories you’ve accumulated over your lifetime that are starting to weigh you down instead of make you feel at home.

This newsletter is about all the stuff in your home.

Which means that it’s also about identity.
Capacity.
Vision.
Self-trust.
The invisible drag of living with too much friction.

And what shifts when your home starts supporting you instead of subtly stealing your soul.

My goal is to make you laugh a little.

And to put words to something you’ve felt for years and never quite knew how to say.

And to give you a framework or filter you can use to look at your stuff and figure out what belongs in the life you’re building right now. And what’s just taking up space in your life for no good reason.

Because the hardest part is usually not getting rid of stuff.

It’s understanding what you’re actually trying to create in your home and why it has felt so maddeningly hard to get there on your own.

If you’ve ever thought:

Why does this feel harder than it should?

Why does walking in my front door sometimes feel like being heckled by my own belongings?

How am I capable of managing million-dollar projects and teams at work and yet am constantly being defeated by a rubber spatula that will not ever just let me open the gawddamn drawer so I can get a chip clip?

(sigh)

You’re in the right place.
