My Personal Thoughts & Review

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Making Home Your Happy Place has helped me think deeply about why chronic clutter has been a lifelong struggle for me.

Since beginning Katy Joy Wells’ book, I have learned to approach my need to declutter gracefully. I value how she shares relatable stories as she unpacks why we experience clutter and overwhelm. I also appreciate the reflection and take action sections she has included at the close of the chapters.

A favorite concept she has introduced to me is the RESET. I often freeze even at the thought of confronting my clutter. The RESET teaching disarmed my reservations about getting started with decluttering. It gave me a manageable starting point.

Making Home Your Happy Place is an expert, easy-to-read companion. It’s perfect for people like me who are overwhelmed and carry shame around their clutter. It is helping me break through my striving to make my home perfect, address my history with “stuff,” and declutter with tried-and-true systems—in a healthy way that will stick.

I already recommend this book as a guide to decluttering with grace.
