If you're in perimenopause and feel like stress is piling on top of everything else — this episode connects a dot most women never see coming. Clutter isn't just a home organization problem. Research shows that just thinking about clutter raises cortisol levels. And when your nervous system is already taxed, that silent to-do list staring at you from every corner of your house is making your perimenopause symptoms worse. I sit down with certified life and organizing coach Tracy Hoth to talk about why clutter affects your body, not just your to-do list, and the simple first steps to start feeling lighter at home. Perfect for women in perimenopause who are overwhelmed and ready to remove one more source of hidden stress from their life. 00:00 (   • Video  ) Podcast Mission Intro 01:09 (   • Video  ) Clutter Meets Menopause 01:51 (   • Video  ) Meet Tracy Hoath 03:33 (   • Video  ) Clutter Stress Science 05:17 (   • Video  ) Tracy Origin Story 07:07 (   • Video  ) Start Small Wins 09:14 (   • Video  ) Where To Begin 10:12 (   • Video  ) SPACE Method Overview 10:53 (   • Video  ) Sort Step First 13:14 (   • Video  ) Purge With Favorites 14:07 (   • Video  ) Assign Homes Mindset 15:27 (   • Video  ) Contain Without Buying 16:57 (   • Video  ) Energize And Maintain 18:42 (   • Video  ) Monthly Maintenance Plan 19:50 (   • Video  ) Secret Room Strategy 21:49 (   • Video  ) Kids And Decluttering 24:54 (   • Video  ) Skills vs Mindset Gaps 25:48 (   • Video  ) Organized Alter Ego 27:34 (   • Video  ) Decluttering as Healing 29:22 (   • Video  ) Transitions and Compassion 30:04 (   • Video  ) Five Papers a Day 32:29 (   • Video  ) Beating Resistance 33:27 (   • Video  ) Inside the Group Program 35:09 (   • Video  ) Downsizing and Elevated Spaces 38:13 (   • Video  ) Baby Steps and Timers 40:32 (   • Video  ) Redecorate for Joy 42:52 (   • Video  ) Work Guilt and Priorities 45:19 (   • Video  ) Closing and Takeaways Check out the full show notes at https://cindistickle/com/podcast/ep-146-perimenopause-stress-how-clutter-raises-cortisol-and-makes-your-symptoms-worse-with-tracy-hoth Connect with Tracy Hoth Website — https://simplysquaredaway.com/ Free 15-Minute Declutter Challenge — http://simplysquaredaway.com/declutter Organized Life Academy — https://simplysquaredaway.com/ola Instagram —   / tracyhoth   LinkedIn —   / tracyhoth   Connect with Cindi Perimenopause Morning Reset — https://cindistickle.myflodesk.com/ne...
