****TOP 2.5% GLOBALLY-RANKED PODCAST**** Are you waking up exhausted and overwhelmed before the day even begins? Is your mind as disorganized as your house? Is the stress of the clutter, debt, and what to make for dinner…again, wreaking havoc on your health, parenting and marriage? Do you wish you had one authentic Catholic friend who understood your struggles? I am so excited you’re here! This podcast will teach you how to create a clutter-free, organized home that practically runs itself, with dinner on the table every night, enough money to stop living paycheck to paycheck and God at the center of it all! Hi, I’m Gina. A Catholic wife, mom and declutter coach. For twenty years, I made sure my home was organized and running efficiently; we ate healthy, homemade dinners, the laundry was done, and the bills were paid on time, yet, I still felt like something was missing. I thought if my home looked like it belonged in a magazine, my family dined on gourmet meals and I stayed out of debt, life would be peaceful and perfect. I finally realized that I was searching for fulfillment and validation from the outside world. Yes, I needed my home to run efficiently, but I felt a nagging in my heart that I was made for more. If I was going to have a full life with the peace that transcends human understanding, I needed to make God the center. I needed to put Him in charge instead of feeling like it was all up to me. I created a plan that fits ME. Simple routines to incorporate faith into my daily tasks. A lifestyle that’s allowing me to prosper into the woman God is calling me to be. And I’m ready to share it with you! If you are tired of waiting for motivation to strike and you are ready to do the work to declutter your home, plan meals your family will actually eat, break free from living paycheck to paycheck, learn to implement routines for a peaceful home that practically runs itself, AND make a new Catholic BFF who wants to share in your joys and struggles, - this podcast is for you! Grab your garden shears because you’re about to prune away the clutter of life so you can prosper into the woman God has called YOU to be!

Saturday Jan 06, 2024
Is the clutter in your home so overwhelming you don't know where to begin? Or you do begin and quickly make a bigger mess, get frustrated and give up? Are you waiting for motivation to strike and THEN you'll get it together?
Motivation is not going to strike, so STOP waiting for it! Just get started and guess, what? Momentum will kick in and help you finish the job. When we look at the big picture, it's easy to get overwhelmed and stay stuck. In these Saturday morning episodes, I lead you through one very small area of your home to declutter for just 5 minutes. You won't pull everything out and make a bigger mess, you'll just handle a very small section at a time. Week after week and little by little, your home will begin to feel lighter. You'll be able to freely open kitchen drawers and quickly find items. Cleaning will become easier too because you won't be cleaning before you can actually clean. 5 minutes will make a difference! Set your prayer intention to unite your work with Him, pop in this podcast, and set your reward. Let's get started

Opening Bible verse: Matthew 9:9
"A disciple is a decision maker." - Father Mike Schmitz
When Jesus called Matthew to be a disciple, Matthew didn't hesitate. He made a quick decision to walk away from his life as a tax collector and become a follower of Jesus. We too, can decide to be something different this year. Who do you want to become this year? What are the things that person would be doing

173. 5 Ways We Can Steward Our Possessions for God’s Greater Glory
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Wednesday Dec 13, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Matthew 6:19-21
As a declutter coach, I have seen this time and time again. Homeowners saving things with good intentions. They save baby clothes they hope their grandchildren will wear. They save the good china because it's too precious to use. They hang onto all sorts of items in their homes just in case or because they spent money on it or because it was a gift. God wants to bless us with all of these things but He doesn't want us to let them rot or decay. In today's podcast episode, I talk about how we can use our possessions for His greater glory. Get out the good china and pour yourself a cup of tea, let's go!

171. Are You Stewarding God’s Money for a Life of Abundance or a Life of Debt?
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Wednesday Dec 06, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Matthew 25:14-15
for the full parable read: Matthew 25:14-30
We are on a journey, this journey called life. Our master has given us gifts according to our abilities and those gifts are ours to manage. At the end of our journey, we will be judged. How did we use our gifts? Did we multiple them? Did we hide our gifts and never share them with others? In today's episode, I talk about money as this gift although you can substitute money for any gift God has given you whether it is a great singing voice or artistic talent.
As December begins and 2023 comes to an end, I want to talk about stewardship. In this first episode of this series, I talk about how are we stewarding the money God has gifted us? Do we spend it wisely? Are we stingy with it? Do we enjoy it? Do we use it for God's greater glory? Are we investing it for our retirement or are we burying our heads in the sand?
At the end of our journey, we hope to hear the same words from Matthew, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
