151: How to Release Decluttering Shame: An Ayurvedic Perspective to Help you Feel Lighter and More Aligned

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care May 10, 2025 Duration: 23:41

Picture this, Habit Thrivers:


It's Saturday morning, spring is in the air, and the spring cleaning bug has bitten.


With a look of determination and a handful of trash bags, you open the spare bedroom/garage/closet, put your hands on your hips, and say:


Look at all of this crap...


You've been there, right?


I sure have.


Today, on Episode #151 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are discussing how to use an Ayurvedic perspective to eliminate decluttering shame and really embrace who we really are.


No matter if you are a Vata, Pitta or Kapha woman, we all have our strengths and weaknesses - and it's no different when it comes to dealing with the clutter in our lives.


The Vata woman feels overwhelmed by clutter. She starts in one place, gets distracted by another project or a memory, and ends up with a handful of unfinished piles.


The Pitta woman hates clutter. She's irritated by it (and anyone who gets in her spring-cleaning way). She is so focused and determined on decluttering that she dismisses and misses out on other opportunities while she dives into her decluttering mission.


The Kapha woman feels an emotional pull to her clutter. She has a hard time letting things go, because her emotions are tied to those objects. She may take one look at the messy drawer or closet and be instantly stuck.


But, while understanding our Dosha helps us understand what keeps us stuck on clutter, it can also help us move past our limitations, embrace who we are and make new progress.


So join me today, and find out what decluttering approaches speak directly to the woman you already are.


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
