Feeling Overwhelmed With Life? Less Clutter More Life With Barbara Hemphill

So many women—especially those serving in ministry—live with a constant background noise of “I’m overwhelmed.” In this episode of HER Podcast, Pat Domangue sits down with organizing pioneer and author Barbara Hemphill (Taming the Paper Tiger, Less Clutter, More Life) to talk about what clutter is really about… and it’s not the stuff. Barbara shares how physical and digital clutter often point to deeper emotional and spiritual clutter, why “clutter is postponed decisions,” and how a clear vision (Proverbs 29:18) is key to getting unstuck.

You’ll hear practical, hope-filled strategies for creating simple systems, asking for help, and building community so you don’t try to manage life alone. Barbara also ties it all back to our walk with God—because maintaining a real relationship with Him is where peace, focus, and productivity begin.

If you’ve ever said things like, “I can't keep up. I am so overwhelmed” this conversation will help you breathe, reset, and start making decisions again.

·       Why overwhelm is often emotional or spiritual, not just logistical

·       How to think about clutter as postponed decisions

·       The role of vision in getting organized

·       Why women in ministry tend to neglect their own well-being
