Clear Your Closet

How do you feel about your closet right now?

I'm asking because for most of my life, my closet was a constant source of stress and anxiety.

I knew for years that I needed to do something about it but it was SO overwhelming. Time after time, I would empty the contents of my closet onto my bed and attempt to sort everything into tidy "keep" and "toss" piles ... only to end up on the floor myself, often in tears, feeling completely disappointed and discouraged.

It turns out that decluttering my closet was a lot harder than I expected. 🤦🏻‍♀️

In the end, it took me at least two years to make any real progress (it's hard to say how long exactly because I spent so much time just thinking about it and not actually doing anything!). It was a long and painful process BUT I can say that it was 100% worth it in the end.

It's a little hard to explain but there was something special about decluttering my closet.

When I finally got there, I realised it wasn't just about the clothes. Hidden among the hangers, there was also a lot of emotional baggage in my closet and when I let it go, I felt so FREE.

It was empowering and I can say with certainty that decluttering my closet changed something inside of me.

I'm not sure if you feel the same way about your closet but regardless, in the years that I've been blogging, hundreds of women have told me that they struggle with their closets ...

So I decided to do something about it.

"Clear Your Closet" Decluttering Workshop Itinerary

*note that all times are in US Eastern Standard Time (EST)

26 April: You'll receive an email with a short "homework assignment" (a few short tasks to do in preparation for the workshop, they should take no longer than 45 minutes) and a link to the Facebook Group.

28 April 7:30PM EST | Workshop #1 (90 mins): In this workshop, I'm going to teach you my tried and true method for decluttering your closet.

If you're curious, I talk about it briefly in this blog post but note that in the workshop I'll walk you through the process in more depth—plus we'll also do a lot of inner work and tackle the limiting mindsets that make decluttering your closet challenging.

When the workshop is finished, you'll leave with a clear plan that you can use to declutter your closet.

18 April - 12 May | Clear Your Closet: There is an intentional break between Workshops #1 and #2 so that you'll have time to put what you learned into action and start decluttering your closet.

During this time, I'll be there for you in the Facebook Group to answer any of your questions (along with the other Workshop attendees!).

12 May 7:30PM EST |Workshop #2 (90 mins): In this workshop, we are going to troubleshoot any decluttering challenges you came across during the break, plus there will be some tips on how to dispose of your unwanted items.

This is the bit I'm REALLY excited about! From experience, I can tell you that one of the toughest parts of decluttering your closet is getting stuck on problem items. A special dress or a really expensive pair of shoes ... I found that getting caught up with a few special pieces can really drain you emotionally and kill your decluttering momentum. (Am I right?!)

This is why I wanted to include a second session; when you're decluttering on your own, if there's anything that you can't tackle simply set it aside and we can work through it together! I really think this is going to be the key to making sure that everyone who participates in these workshops will walk away with a decluttered closet by the end of the program!

12 May - 20 May | Continued Support: Even after the second workshop ends, I'll continue to be active in the Facebook Group—effectively coaching you through any final hurdles you find yourself struggling with.

I am confident that by the end of the three weeks, you'll have a closet that leaves you feeling free and empowered! 🙌🏻

The total cost for the two live workshops (90 mins each) plus the support via the Facebook group is $97 USD.

The workshop will be limited to a maximum of 20 participants because I want to keep it intimate and make sure there is time to answer everyone's questions. Are you ready to reserve your spot?

Is "Clear Your Closet" For You?

I think it's important to mention that this is NOT a wardrobe styling course. I am not a "fashionista" and I'm not going to teach you how to put together an outfit. If you hate everything you own and you want someone to help you rebuild your wardrobe, then this workshop series is probably not for you.

Having said that, I think most people don't need to throw everything away and start over!

Instead, I think that odds are you already have a wardrobe you love hiding somewhere in your closet. The key is to systematically clear the excess so that you can enjoy what you already own (and when necessary, make better decisions about what new pieces to add).

If this sounds like you then I'd love to help you achieve your goals.
