How can we stop procrastinating, take control of clutter (and cleaning) in a way that really sticks, and avoid feeling overwhelmed along the way? We created The JJs Declutter Podcast because, as professional decluttering coaches, we know that organizing your home doesn’t have to be an endless, stressful chore.
Our mission is to share practical, real-world solutions that make keeping your spaces tidy a whole lot easier. And yes, we sprinkle in some humor too! Each episode is designed to inspire, give you quick wins, and help you build a clutter-free lifestyle, so your home can feel peaceful, functional, and yours again.

S3E12: Clothes Decluttering Pitfalls
(Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence, Part 1)
👕 Warning: This Episode May Cause You to Side-Eye Your Own Closet
This week, Julie and Janis are kicking off a brand-new 5-part series, Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence — and they're starting with the hardest part first: your feelings. (Don't worry, no trash bags required. Yet.)
Turns out clothes aren't just fabric they're wearable memory, wearable guilt, and occasionally wearable delusion (looking at you, "Fantasy Me" and her never-worn linen blazer).
The JJs break down the 7 real reasons we hang onto clothes we never wear: Identity, Guilt, Fantasy Self, Body Changes, Memories, Money, and the ever-popular "Just In Case." If you counted at least three fingers while listening, congratulations, you're human, and you're in very good company.
🧥 True Confessions
Julie fesses up to a gorgeous white wool coat that's basically become a very judgmental closet decoration. Janis admits to holding onto her high school song-leader uniforms for over 30 years on the off chance her daughters — who outgrew her by middle school — might someday wear them. (They did not.)
🧠 Mindset Muscle, Not Trash Bag Muscle
Before Episode 13's Great Closet Purge, the JJs want you practicing four gut-check questions:
a. Have I actually worn this in the last year?
b. Would I buy it again today?
c. Does it fit the life I'm living now? And the big one ...
d. Am I keeping the object, or am I afraid of losing the memory?
✅ This Week's Small Doable Dose
Set a 12-minute timer, pick just 5 items from your closet, and ask one honest question about each:
have I worn this in the past year?
That's it. No decisions required - just noticing.
Use #declutteringdozen to share your progress (or your discoveries) with the community!
Next time: Episode 13, The Great Closet Purge — aprons optional.
