About Me

—a content creator, writer, YouTuber, podcaster, and all-around enthusiast for creating homes that work for real life. You’ll find me sharing my thoughts here on the blog, diving deep into conversations on The Mind Your Home Podcast, and putting out practical tools like my book and courses. I live in beautiful Portland, Oregon, with my wonderful family of five and our adorable pup, Charlie.

Let me set the scene: It’s me, my husband Matt (the lone guy in a very girl-powered house), our two teenage daughters who keep life lively and unpredictable, and our sweet baby girl who adds endless love—and just a smidge more chaos. And of course, Charlie rounds out the squad. Yep, she’s a girl too, so Matt’s way outnumbered. 🤣

My journey into minimalism and the transformative power of our environments started years ago when I was a single mom with two toddlers. Back then, life felt like an endless uphill battle. But through trial, error, and a lot of decluttering, I realized that when your home supports you, everything feels lighter—even the tough days.

I truly believe your environment is one of your greatest assets—not just for how it looks but for how it makes you feel and what it allows you to do. A well-designed, clutter-free space can unlock freedom, creativity, and joy, no matter your stage of life or the size of your household.

Over the years, I’ve made it my mission to help others create cozy, functional spaces that support their daily flow and enhance their lives. Whether your home feels overwhelming or you’re just looking for that next level of simplicity, I’m here to share everything I’ve learned and cheer you on every step of the way.
