****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!

160. 5 Minute Declutter With Me...Toys
Saturday Oct 28, 2023
Saturday Oct 28, 2023
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

159. Setting SMART Money and Clutter Goals for Christmas
Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
Wednesday Oct 25, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Psalm 20:2-6
How does Christmas morning typically go in your house? Are kids screaming with joy or disappointment? Are you looking at the mess of all these new items and now feeling the weight of having to find a place to store all of it? As you pick up all the torn wrapping paper are you dreading the credit card bill arriving in January? Do your kids even realize it's the birthday of our Savior? Do you wish things could be different? Do you wish there was less stuff, less debt and more Christ in Christmas? Whatever your goals for Christmas, you can be SMART about it. SMART is a corporate acronym that stands for: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
In today's episode we break down a hypothetical Christmas goal to demonstrate the use of implementing a SMART goal this season. See if you too can set SMART goals for a debt free and clutter free Christmas this year.
Join me Tuesday, October 31st at 2pm EST for a free and live budget zoom. Come with your questions, leave with hope and answers.

157. How Lean Manufacturing Can Be Applied To Running Your Home Efficiently
Wednesday Oct 18, 2023
Wednesday Oct 18, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Ephesians 5:11
Do you feel like you have systems in place to run your home smoothly but things still don't seem to work? Do you feel like you are the only one that ever does anything to run the home? Do you feel like you waste a lot of your day or couldn't really say how you spent your day?
Sounds like you could use some tips from Toyota. Toyota developed a production system that we can use in our homes. Here are 7 areas where you could help eliminate waste and run your home more efficiently.
1. Waste of Time on Hand
2. Waste of Transportation
3. Waste of Processing
4. Waste of Excess
5. Waste of Movement
6. Waste of Making Defective Parts
7. Waste of Underutilizing Workers

155. I Was So Overwhelmed I Was Frozen and Then...This Happened
Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Wednesday Oct 11, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Exodus 20:1-11
You just dropped your toddler off at preschool. You've got two hours. You've also got a million things you could do. Instead, you are so overwhelmed with the possibilities that you do nothing. You scroll, you putz around the house, you can't remember what you did.
I had one of those mornings where I had a few hours free and the list of things I could do was spinning in my head. I couldn't think straight. As I prayed for God to prioritize my day, I got a Holy Spirit whack. God first! I reluctantly picked up my rosary and hit "play" on the rosary podcast and slowly allowed myself to hear what God was saying to me. In today's episode I share the Holy Spirit download I was given in that 15 minute rosary. When we offer God our first fruits, He does not disappoint. I gained such clarity that I feel that God didn't just multiply my hours, He multiplied my DAYS!
I hope you find this episode inspiring. Grab that rosary, grab a friend and see what God will do with your time!
XOXO, Gina

153. It Starts in the Wardrobe and Ends in Community
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
Wednesday Oct 04, 2023
Opening Bible verse: Luke 24:1-10
We all think we want a tidy, clutter-free home, but is that it? After making homes beautiful, I started to notice something was missing. I felt like the women with whom I worked didn't feel as calm or settled in their tidy homes. I began to ask women if they had a best friend. Time and time again, the answer was, "no". If I noticed a crucifix in their home, I would begin to ask about their faith life. Slowly, it dawned on me. These women were all seeking the same thing. They were looking for real relationships that would challenge them to grow but they were also looking for relationships founded on their faith. We are all born with a God shaped hole in our hearts and we spend our lives trying to fill that hole with things or things but in baskets and labeled to perfection. It's not until we fill that hole with a relationship with God, do we really feel the peace we crave from a tidy wardrobe and home. In today's episode I talk about the evolution of decluttering wardrobes all the way through creating courses and opportunities for women to meet one another to declutter, meal plan, budget and most importantly, to grow in their faith.
If you would like to work with me 1:1, please email me at: tightshipmama@gmail.com
If you are yearning for deeper connections with like-minded women, please consider signing up for one of my courses or prayer groups. We just finished our September rosary group, but fear not...another program is coming soon!
Thank you for listening today. Please share this episode with a friend and if you enjoyed it, please leave a 5 star review! It helps spread the word and who knows, maybe your next best friend is out there searching for a group like us!
XOXO, g

151. School Photos and Other Budget Busting, Clutter Causing Nonsense
Wednesday Sep 27, 2023
Wednesday Sep 27, 2023
Genesis 3:1-5
Adam and Eve had EVERYTHING and yet, the Devil was able to tempt Eve with FOMO! "Are you sure?????"
In today's episode I talk about our culture of always getting more stuff. Especially our kids. Everywhere they go it seems they are given stuff! Do you always buy yourself something? Does the fear of missing a good sale tempt you?
This year I finally said, "no" to school photos and guess what? We survived! My kids still got a new outfit because they will be in the yearbook. School photos are just not my jam. I buy them so we can get the class photo and the individual photos of my kids end up in their special bins. We never look at them or display them. However, we DO look at the yearbook almost everyday. So that is where I am spending my money this year. We are just buying the yearbook. I can't wait to see how their photos turn out...at the end of the year when yearbooks are distributed. Something fun for us to look forward to. My budget is still in tact and I won't be adding to the unwanted pile of stuff in my basement.
If you are tempted to bring in more stuff you can't afford or don't need or even have the space for, what can you do? Pray! When Eve was tempted, she caved and original sin was brought into the world. That sin created a separation from us and God. When you are tempted...pray! Ask God to close that gap, to fill your heart with a desire for Him and not more stuff!
Have a great day,
Gina
