Busy Mom’s 2.5-Hour Closet Makeover

Busy Mom’s 2.5-Hour Closet Makeover

Ever consider your closet’s chaos is a sign you’ve put everyone else first?

For Sandra, a busy mom, that chaos was a sign to prioritize herself for once—and she transformed it in just 2.5 hours.

Sandra’s closet was a jumble of camping gear, borrowed items, and clothes she no longer wore. 

As a mom who poured her energy into her family, she’d let her own space slide.“So much of this is stuff I just need to get rid of. . .” she said in the “before” video she’d sent me, her voice tinged with frustration.

“It’s like I prioritize taking care of other people’s stuff and tasks, and I just let things be until it looks like this.”

Feeling stuck, she reached out to me for a 1:1 decluttering session.

We dove into my T.R.I.M method, starting with small wins: tossing old receipts, rehoming books that belonged in other rooms, and stacking items to return to a family member across the street. 

With each decision, I heard the dread in Sandra’s voice fade and saw the furrow of her brow replaced by a growing smile. 

Signs of progress peeked through as she sorted through clothes that no longer fit her in this current season of life, letting go of items that weighed her down. 

In just 2.5 hours, we cleared the clutter.  Sandra’s husband preferred keeping the camping gear indoors, so we found a spot in a lesser-used hall closet where it wouldn’t be her daily view. 

The result? A closet that finally felt like hers.

Sandra’s closet is now a peaceful retreat where every item has a purpose. 

Mornings are smoother, and she feels empowered, like she’s finally putting herself first. 

No fancy storage was needed—at my recommendation, she’s using what she already has and living with the current setup to ensure this system works before investing in any organizational systems. 

This pile of donated items was weighing Sandra down—now her closet shines!
