An investment in myself and my peace

Before meeting with Beth I was overwhelmed and paralyzed with fear about decluttering items I had inherited upon the death of my parents. I found every opportunity to avoid the task and after two years, I finally found help. 

By working with Beth I learned to break things down into smaller, more manageable tasks. She taught me how to view or look at things in order to let them go. 

During the whole process, she focused on creating peace within myself and peace around me, so that I could reach my goals. 

She helped me to recognize successes and how to minimize anything that I felt was not good enough. She met with me on a convenient and consistent basis. 

Each time I came away with new skills and strategies. 

I look at coaching with Beth as an investment in myself and my peace, and I highly recommend her Destination Decluttered coaching.

Now I feel Good. I feel less overwhelmed, with less stress and less anxiety. 
 

I felt very overwhelmed with how I had let things go because of my busy schedule, because I thought that it was going to take hours to declutter. And because I didn't have hours to declutter, I didn't want to go there. I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to let go of the stuff - I developed habits of not letting go of stuff because I might need them later.

 But eventually the negativity and the stress outweighed. I needed help. 

You made it so simple and doable! You have helped me learn how to use the tools that I have and catered to my specific situation.

Now I don't feel that overwhelm, that overwhelming feeling has gone. And I feel like anybody could come to the house at any given time. And I'm not going to be stressed about it.

Now I go into a drawer or cupboard, even my workspace, and it gives me a smile. I want to be there, when before I would see the mess and close the door tight. 

Now I feel good. I feel less overwhelmed, with less stress and less anxiety. Less of all the negatives and more of all the positives. I smile. I'm happy.  

I have literally been transformed by this process.

I was mortified that I needed a coach to help me with what seemed to be an insurmountable task, creating the home I wished for. 

How would I make myself vulnerable to a stranger about this challenge that had caused me so much shame and unhappiness? 

I was afraid I would be judged, that the coach would tell me to just throw everything out, that I would be preached at or told what to do. 

Instead, together we worked on my personal situation with realistic expectations, in a supportive and completely personalized yet non-invasive way. 

Beth is kind with tremendous insight and a great sense of humor. She gave me the tools to “get curious” about my situation, and how to envision, and then move towards my destination. 

Using her exceptional skills and talents, Beth took me from feeling completely helpless to feeling like a person with the agency to do what needs to be done. 

And I am getting it done!

I didn't know this was possible, but it is and the rest of my life will be so different and so much better because I made the leap and chose to work with Beth. 

I have literally been transformed by this process. 

It's not just the tools that Beth gives you. I had various tools from books and online and I still wasn't able to even barely reach my goals. It was using the tools along with the alchemy of the collaborative process, the 10 week sessions that changed my life. 

I am so deeply grateful to Beth for what we've worked on together. 

Yesterday, I had someone over (unheard of previously) who walked onto my deck and said, “Oh, this is beautiful!” I almost cried on the spot. That deck had been a hellscape at the beginning of this process, and now it is beautiful. 

I'm so proud of what I've accomplished and maintaining and proud of what I am continuing to accomplish. 

I'm moving through my home making it better and better, and the improvements make every day happier and less stressful. 

I have Beth to thank for this and I will be forever grateful.

 If you're wanting to get decluttered don't wait, do it now, start now, it's the best gift ever!

At the very beginning, I felt very stuck. I felt cornered, like I had nowhere to go, and nowhere to turn. I could get some ideas here and there. But it wasn't really solid, it wasn't consistent. I did not have a plan, it was all up in my head. 

Working through this process together each week, just even showing up and learning some new techniques really helped to calm me and organize me, and get that thing that I've always been missing, which is structure. You really encourage, you support, you have your ideas, you have experience.

Now I know I have a system in place, a plan in place. I have that structure that I can hold on to, a good foundation to help me and keep going, and building upon that. I love it. 

And it has helped me so much, because that's what led me to being able to breathe and not feeling so scattered all over the place. 

I'm a completely different person.

One of the things that I find is very important is that you can take what you say and apply it to so many areas, these techniques can be used for anything. It will help me throughout my whole entire life, and it's something that I can carry throughout my journey.

If you’re wanting to get decluttered don't wait, do it now, start now. It is one of the best gifts ever. 

If I would have waited another year or put it off I would not be where I am right now, and it just feels so good to be where I am right now.

 I feel like you helped me organize my life, not just my house.

I love your energy and I love that you focus on the why of things, and creating a long term plan to sustain organization and strategy of focusing on the mental aspect of it. 

I enjoy how you break things down. And you're able to get the why out of me, you're able to ask me the right question. And your insight is very good. You're able to repeat back to me what I've said in a much better, clearer way. 

It's been valuable for me to externally see what is going around in my brain andI feel like I'm validated and heard by you.

100% my overall house has improved. 

But the biggest transformation is that my confidence level is so much higher now. 

I'm able to assess the situation without drama, and it's definitely impacted how I organize my time. 

I was surprised about how much I was holding myself back and avoiding. You were able to find my fears that I didn't even know were there. 

I would recommend your coaching to anyone who feels like they're drowning in their life, that they can't get ahead, that they're constantly stressed out about little things.

 I loved discovering that I always had it in me.

Being a working mom with two kids living a life of chaos I wanted some calmness and structure.

I knew that the clutter was affecting my children and my relationship with my husband, and I was afraid that I would end up being stuck in a rut for the rest of my life. 

You seemed very relatable, progressive, forward thinking, with a timelessness and pop culture angle, and when we coached you were respectful and non-judgemental. It seemed like the best of both worlds.

Now I see how easy it is, that I can make small changes, that make a big impact.

I feel more in control, I’m paying attention to what my thinking is, and digging a little deeper to find out why I’m doing what I’m doing. 

I loved discovering that I always had it in me, and I just needed to get my thoughts straight. And when I did that decluttering wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. 

Coaching with you has made my life so much easier. I'm now able to create personal time for myself and spend it doing things I enjoy, and not just always thinking about decluttering and cleaning.

It was just a really great experience. 

I'm now losing weight, sleeping better, taking care of myself more. 

There's a certain level of denial that I lived in, and I think it surprised me when I really started to open my eyes to just how much stuff was everywhere.

Every time we met there were little nuggets of advice or a new way of looking at something that I took away and I thought oh, I'll hold onto that and use it to motivate me to continue the work and let go of things.

And that's what I needed. As things got moved, momentum was building. 

I got motivated, whereas before I'd just get overwhelmed and just couldn't do it by myself. 

I'm now losing weight, sleeping better, taking care of myself more. 

It is not just about the physical space that I'm in, but also the whole space that I'm in, in my body and my life. 

I didn't fail!

When I saw my first Destination Decluttered video on social media, I knew if anyone was going to understand me, and be able to help me, it would be Beth. 

I did not have confidence, and was nervous to start my declutter project.  I was positive I was going to fail. 

But Beth's enthusiasm and encouragement helped my refocus and gave me the motivation to start.

I didn't fail!

I found treasures that had been sitting in the piles, but more importantly, I discovered the things I no longer needed.  I was coached to determine what was going to be important in my life, and what was junk.

For me, being able to talk to Beth one-on-one made a difference to my final outcome.  She was always eager to help, she reassured me along the way, and taught me skills that I can use in the future. 

I would have never accomplished my goals and made it to my destination without Beth.

When you get rid of the stuff you get into the sunlight.

I was afraid that you would see how cluttered I was, I've always been embarrassed and tried to keep that hidden.

But with you I felt safe to reveal that because you’re not judgmental. 

You helped show me positive ways of getting out of things. And it has been really fun. You kept me on track to keep going with things and that was really, really helpful.

I loved seeing my space open up and not feeling like the stuff is gonna come crashing down on me. It's kind of like coming out of being in a cave, and when you get rid of the stuff you get into the sunlight. 

And I feel like it has broken down some barriers that I keep between myself and other people, because the stuff was my barrier. And now I don’t need that.

I appreciate how adaptable and flexible you are. I think that if I worked with someone who was not like that, that I would not have been able to do the entire 10 weeks, I would have quit!

it felt  like I regained a part of myself that's been missing

My house wasn't feeling like a home, and very important spaces seemed so insurmountably messy and unworkable. It felt hopeless to me and I just needed a completely different way to look at it.

I was very overwhelmed, and I was concerned I wouldn't even be able to sort it out, because it was something that I hadn't been able to do for years. 

I felt like I was never going to get this space to be the way I wanted it to be. That made me really sad and just kind of stuck in that mindset. 

I knew I needed the accountability of having somebody coach me through it.

With Beth’s coaching it was exciting to watch stuff come together and think “Yes, this is how I want my home to look” and know I could make it happen. 

Now it feels like this is our space. These are our things, but our things don't own the space, and they have a place where they belong. And that feels really good. 

Once I got my art studio set up, it felt  like I regained a part of myself that's been missing for a while, and I feel like I'm getting back into it now and getting back on track. 

I think Destination Decluttered coaching is great for people who feel stuck and feel like they haven't made any progress in a long time, or that they've always lived this way. Who think, “How could I possibly change, how could anything possibly change?”

And the neat thing is that doing these small changes consistently snowballs into a much bigger, positive change - the way you live in your living space, but also in your mindset.  

You can take these concepts and keep going with them because they make sense and they're simple. It's decluttering but it's so much more.

Coaching helped me learn how to transform my home from disarray to one that is tidy, orderly, and calm.

As someone with late-diagnosed ADHD and two little kids, my house was disorganized, messy, overrun by clutter, and we lived in chaos each day. And I was feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, and embarrassed.

I would start each day with the best intentions. I would attempt to work at cleaning and decluttering all day, but somehow, at the end of the day, I would have almost nothing to show for it…except for half-finished projects (that usually created more mess in the process).

I was exhausted from trying so hard and discouraged at what little I actually accomplished.

I felt completely hopeless.

Then I was lucky enough to work with Beth and her Destination Decluttered model to finally crack the code of how to maintain my home.

Coaching helped me learn how to transform my home from disarray to one that is tidy, orderly, and calm.

With Beth’s knowledge and guidance, I was able to create systems to get things in order in a way that works for me and my unique brain.

Beth’s kind (but not coddling) approach helped me become confident in myself, significantly lessened my internal shame, and helped me feel less stressed, more focused, and — finally, for once — hopeful.

When things get messy — because let’s face it, life with two little kids is messy — I no longer completely shut down and let the overwhelm consume me.

I use the skills and methods Beth taught me to get us back on the road.

My kiddos also feel calmer and are more joyful in our home. They can have friends over, are more eager to help out, and don’t get overwhelmed when it’s time to clean up.

I would recommend her coaching to anyone who needs help with clutter or feels overwhelmed by the messiness of life.

You’re not destined to live in chaos when you have Beth’s Destination Decluttered approach in your back pocket and her on your side.

Working with Beth and her Destination Decluttered process changed my life. 

I started out to improve my approach to several habits as well as think through the planning of a months-long road trip.  She showed me that planning shorter weeks-long trips was more practical for my lifestyle. 
 

As a bonus, she motivated me to transform what had become our “junk room” into a serene and functional office and guest space. 

Beth helped me find the focus I needed to organize the chaotic spots in my home.
Her clarity and encouragement pointed me in the direction I needed to go.

She took the "I'm overwhelmed / I'm scared / I  don't  know where to start" 

out of what I had been avoiding - and actually made it fun! 
 

If you want to feel lighter, she will help you with practicality and positivity.

Working with Beth has been immensely helpful!

Her methods to manage the day-to -day as well as to generate big picture plans have increased my productivity and clarity of purpose, while decreasing procrastination and stress!
 

Also, she brings a supportive, energetic enthusiasm to every session.

Her mojo is contagious!

We never could have gotten so far, so fast on our road to Decluttered  without Beth's comprehensive, common-sense, mile by mile approach.
 

There are no impractical ideas in this guided program; every one of them can be used effectively in real life.

All the simple, handy tools provided are flexible enough to fit and work within any lifestyle.  Whatever the schedule, mindset, or perceived limitations, Beth's thoughtful approach got us out of our rut and onto the highway.
 

Most importantly, Beth's coaching provides an unexpected lifelong value that doesn't stop when the clutter is gone, but continues to benefit all aspects of life.
 

We were trained in a new way of thinking that's helping us seek out bigger, better, broader visions for a more fulfilling life. Whether it's mapping out a road to a better job, a new art or writing project (as I've just done), or maybe you want to reorganize a business, or just conquer everyday challenges that pile up.

After being trained in these concepts, we've begun to intuitively discover new and smoother pathways to our goals.
 

Best of all, Beth is a real, kind, and empathic navigator who shares your journey past every mile marker to your personal vision of Destination Decluttered.

Thank you so much, Beth!

After a divorce and two moves I found myself surrounded by lots of stuff. Stuff that made me feel heavy. Enter Beth and her Destination Decluttered virtual coaching. 

She helped me clear my baggage, both physically and mentally. Her unique program helped guide me to my ultimate destination… living a more clutter-free and lighter life.  I will forever be in her debt.

Working with Beth was truly an enlightening experience. She didn't just help us to reduce the clutter in our home, she taught us new ways to look at our stuff, our habits and ourselves. 

Beth not only brought a smile and positive energy to the weekly sessions - she was also available outside of scheduled sessions to provide guidance and answer questions. She went above and beyond by researching on her own to help find additional resources.

I would highly recommend Beth and Destination Decluttered to anyone!
