Kate Evans Coaching

Kate Evans Coaching Hi, I'm Kate! I have spent the past twenty years helping empower women. Iโ€™m here as guide, confidant, and accountability.

Decluttering coach and author of Ditch Your Sh*t: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home

If you can't figure out why you haven't decluttered yet I help get over your mental sh*t so you can get rid of your physical sh*t I believe we all have our own answers, but it can be tough to access them on our own because of all the other noise. You have a unique story and I am here to help you hon

or that story, while creating an intentional future. While I have worked in psychology for twenty years, it was my own decluttering journey in 2018 that showed me the connection between self-care and home health. That was when I dedicated myself to helping other women deal with their life as a whole, including the state of the space they lived in. I want you to discover the power I found in taking control of my home, shaking of life-long limiting beliefs, and learning exactly how much power I truly had. As a certified Life Coach and with those twenty years of experience working to empower women as a licensed therapist, I have a unique perspective on decluttering your home that is about you and your journey, not just the stuff in your home. With my solution-focused and integrative approach to life and home decluttering, and your commitment to yourself, we will create the life you deserve!

And yet the strongest of us is allowed to ask for help.

Not in a codependent, I can't be on my own and I need someone to do it for me sort of way.

In a healthy, asking other healthy people in your life to help you when you feel too overwhelmed by clutter to figure out where to start sort of way.

Organizing stuff you never use just means that stuff will keep getting in the way of the stuff you actually use.

Your nightstand needs to be clear so that the energy next to your head when you're sleeping is clear.

That pile of books you're going to read "some day" is cluttering up your energy.

What could you nightstand hold?

One book. The one you're working on. One that helps you sleep, not one the revs you up.

Then a lamp, maybe some flowers or a candle, and that's it!

Sweet dreams,

Keep it clear.

Keep it intentional.

Attend to the 5 elements of wood, fire, earth, metal and water with the materials and colors your use.

For example in the final photo:

Woodโ€”the foliage (regardless of being faux), and the natural fibers of the coir mat

Fireโ€”triangular shapes of the leaves and the pointed purple stalks

Earthโ€”square shapes of the mats and pots, brown of the coir mat

Metalโ€”the metal of the door, the white trim

Waterโ€”gray color of the door, the dark stripes of the larger mat

๐——๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ.

Turn left when you usually turn right.

Have tea instead of coffee.

Take a walk instead of scrolling.

Wear your hair down instead of up, up instead of down.

Trust your gut.

Do the thing instead of hesitating.

I can't say it enough! If you have ADHD your first goal needs to be to minimize.

All of the clutter is too distracting. It will get in the way of other changes you want to make in your home.
