Your Cup of Joy with Ariana Joy Christie

Can Your Home Regulate Your Nervous System? Beyond Decluttering with Britt Gaudio

Ariana Joy Christie Episode 48

Clutter isn’t just physical, it’s emotional. In today’s episode of Your Cup of Joy, I’m joined by Britt Gaudio, professional organizer, decluttering coach, and the heart behind Well Nested Living, to explore what it really means to create a home that supports your nervous system, not just your to-do list. Get ready for a chat that goes far beyond tidying up. If your home has been feeling more overwhelming than grounding, this conversation will ease the pressure and remind you that the goal isn’t perfection, it’s creating a space that feels safe and supportive.

Britt shares how burnout led her from the corporate world to entrepreneurship, and why supporting busy parents through clutter is about so much more than organization: it’s about reclaiming peace, energy, and presence in your life. We talked about what clutter actually costs us, how overstimulation shows up in motherhood, and why a “perfectly tidy” home might not be the goal we truly need.

Together, we explore how to let go of the emotional baggage tied to our belongings, the magic of 15-minute resets, and why it’s okay, and even beautiful, to ask for help. Britt reminds me (and I hope she reminds you, too) that our homes are meant to be lived in, that we don’t have to chase someone else’s aesthetic to feel good in our space, and that letting go of the physical often helps us begin a new emotional chapter, too.

This episode is your gentle permission slip to slow down, declutter with love, and consider that calling in support is one of the most powerful acts of self-care we can offer ourselves.

As always, if this conversation resonated with you, please share it with someone who you think needs it. I’d also love to connect and hear your thoughts over on Instagram @yourcupofjoypodcast. Let’s keep rewriting the story of what motherhood, home, and support can look like!
