How Intentional Cleaning Transformed My Life: A Fresh Start Guide

If I’m being honest, cleaning and decluttering used to feel like a never-ending cycle of frustration. As a busy, working mom, I was constantly picking up messes, only to have my home look like a tornado had swept through again within hours. It wasn’t just about having a clean home—I was overwhelmed by the mental and emotional toll that clutter was taking on my life.

Before starting my blog business, I was a director of two departments in a mental health facility that provided 24-hour care. The demands of the job meant I was often on call and working beyond typical hours, which made keeping the house clean almost impossible. I relied heavily on house cleaners for deep cleaning, while I did the bare minimum in between their visits. But when I transitioned to working from home, and our family moved to a single income, the cleaning ladies were cut from our budget. I quickly realized I could no longer ignore the daily mess piling up around me.

Being home more often, I saw how much the clutter affected my well-being. I felt stuck, overwhelmed, and unproductive. It was during this time that I felt a Holy Spirit nudge—conviction, really—to take care of the things God had blessed me with. I realized that maintaining my home wasn’t just another chore; it was an opportunity to steward the gifts God had given me. The more I leaned into that conviction, the more I saw that I could do it—with His power and a few practical habits and routine shifts.

That’s when I decided I needed a fresh start, and that’s how the Fresh Start Cleaning and Decluttering Guide came to life.

 

The Power of Decluttering My Life

I started with one room at a time, decluttering the areas that caused the most stress. And as the physical clutter disappeared, something deeper began to shift. I felt lighter—emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Instead of being overwhelmed, I had more energy to be present with my family and to grow my business. By aligning my home with a sense of order, I felt more aligned with God’s peace.

That’s why I created the Fresh Start Cleaning and Decluttering Guide—to help other moms like me reclaim their homes, not just to check off a to-do list, but to create an atmosphere of peace and intentionality. This guide breaks down cleaning and decluttering into manageable steps that don’t leave you feeling exhausted, but instead, refreshed and empowered to keep going.

My Nightly Reset Routine: A Game Changer

One of the most impactful changes was incorporating a nightly reset routine. Each evening, I spend 15–20 minutes tidying up, clearing surfaces, and setting the tone for the next day. Waking up to an organized space has been a game changer—it gives me a fresh start each morning. This simple habit made me feel more in control, grounded, and ready to face whatever the day brings.

To make this routine accessible for everyone, I’ve also put together a Nightly Reset Guide, which is available to you for FREE! It’s a quick and easy way to ensure you’re ending each day with a sense of peace and waking up to a home that feels ready for you.
