People have a hard time letting go of things they think they may need someday. If the clutter is giving you anxiety, it's like a band-aid, you gotta rip it off. Whatever decision you make isn't wrong because worst case scenario means I'm going to die. Chances are very good that no matter what I decide, there won't be a worst case scenario.
Why does it seem like a woman's work is never done? Dr. Regina Lark, founder of A Clear Path: Professional Organizing and Productivity, joins Caitlyn Dorsey to unravel this very question. With a Ph.D. in U.S. Women’s History and a career that transitioned from academia to professional organizing, Dr. Lark sheds light on the often invisible burden of emotional labor that women carry.

She offers practical advice on managing clutter and fostering an equitable division of labor at home. By understanding the mental toll of clutter and the unseen tasks women juggle, listeners can gain valuable insights and strategies for creating a more balanced and organized living space.
