Overcoming Overwhelm: A Podcast About Conquering The Overwhelm of Life and Stuff
Overcoming Overwhelm is a podcast about home organization, intentional living, and reclaiming calm in a world of chaos. Designed for anyone who wants to sleep better, feel more at ease in their home, enjoy their belongings again, and reconnect with themselves after years of excess accumulation, the show goes far, far beyond tidy drawers and labeled bins.
Hosted by professional organizer Jill Shepherd, Overcoming Overwhelm is rooted in a simple truth: home organizing isn’t a stuff business, it’s a people business. Each episode offers practical, realistic guidance for organizing your home and your life, paired with true stories from Jill’s time in the field – some deeply moving, others you-can’t-make-this-up funny.
With Midwestern authenticity, humor, and compassion, Jill helps listeners sort through the emotional junk drawer, understand the deeper causes of clutter and overwhelm, and create space for what truly belongs, both in their homes and in themselves.
