Hey there, mama, and welcome back to the Mom's Overcoming Overwhelm Podcast, episode number 247.
I'm Emily McDermott, and I'm here beside you on this journey as we work together to declutter your home, head, and heart.
I've been really blessed to be on some amazing podcasts, and over the summer I'm going to be sharing some of the interviews I've done on other podcasts.
And this one is my interview with JoAnn Crohn from No Guilt Mom, and I'm talking all about guilt, especially since her podcast is all about mom guilt.
But we focus more so on the guilt of letting things go, guilt around spending, why it's so hard to let things go, why Costco and Target are designed to make us buy things.
JoAnn is really a great interviewer and conversationalist, and I know you're really going to enjoy this interview.
So without further ado, grab that notebook and pen and let's dive into today's episode.
Are you tired of your cluttered home and mile-long to-do lists, but are too overwhelmed to know where to start? Do you lack the time and motivation and don't think you'll ever conquer the clutter? You're in the right place.
I'm Emily, wife, boy mom, and declutter coach who has overcome the overwhelm in my own life through decluttering and simplifying.
Ready to get your life back? Let's declutter your home, head, and heart together.
