Ep 81. Clean Your Room
Today’s topic is that gentle nudge we all need: Clean Your Room. If you’re like me, you tend to go in cycles.

I’m sure if I went back and closely looked at the patterns in my life I would see a correlation between times of my inner turmoil and the times I let my spaces fall into disorder. I’m willing to bet it’s the same with you and we’re going to get into reasons behind that today.
