Publisher's Description

WALLSTREET JOURNAL BESTSELLER Live lighter. Live freer. Live a bigger life with less. In Declutter Like a Mother, Allie Casazza comes alongside you to explore: Why decluttering calms anxiety in your heart and lessens tension in your relationships. How to ensure your house is working for you, not against you. Why kids thrive when they’re not overwhelmed with options. How to make time, when you feel you don’t have time, to declutter. Allie Casazza was tired of feeling it was her against the laundry in her home. She wondered if somewhere beneath her frantic days and the mountains of toys in the playroom she would ever find joy and peace in motherhood. Then she discovered the abundance... of less. As she purged her home of excess stuff, Allie discovered a lifestyle that strengthened her marriage, saved her motherhood, and helped her develop her gifts in a way that no amount of new kitchen appliances or new organizing system ever could. Research studies show a direct link between stress levels and the amount of physical possessions people have in their homes, and Allie has seen that truth play out in her own life and in the lives of hundreds of thousands of other moms she has mentored through her business and online courses. She proclaims: You don’t need a home that’s perfect. You need a home that’s lighter. Discover less stress, more space. Less chaos, more peace. Less of what doesn’t matter, so you have room for what matters most of all.

“Whether you have multiple littles or are just establishing your household, this book is a gift. Allie brilliantly teaches while guiding like a best girlfriend, making simplifying un-intimidating and completely doable. This book is a gift to a world of busy women hustling, striving, and stretching ourselves thin just to keep up and carry a load we were never meant to bear.”

Jordan Lee Dooley

“Allie understands the influence that clutter can have over our mental health, and the guilt and stress that are often associated with clutter as a working mom or a female professional. In her incredible new book, Allie shows readers how to create space in their lives for the things that matter most—the things that bring them the most joy and help them achieve their best potential. I teach people how to manage their minds, and Allie teaches people how to manage their lives, which is equally important. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to improve their lifestyle and health!”

Her delightfully witty, compassionate, and endearing vibe is a breath of fresh air to all moms (new and seasoned) who are searching for ease, reassurance, and a clear path to a lighter, less cluttered, and more meaningful life. This book is a shining light for those of us who are craving a mom friend in our lives who ‘gets it’ and will hype us up and keep it real. Declutter Like a Mother is a life changer, and I can’t think of anyone more perfect to pen it than the incomparable Allie Casazza.”

Jill Stanton

“Allie is the friend and coach that every woman/mother needs! Her ability to break down the overwhelming act of clearing out clutter into realistic and practical steps is second to none. Allie walks you through the decluttering process every step of the way, and unlike most books that keep it surface level and purely focused on baskets and bins, Allie addresses meaningful issues that are bound to come up, such as relationships, emotions, boundaries, maintenance mode, and so much more. Declutter Like a Mother will make your life lighter and your mood brighter, so that you can show up in your life as the best version of yourself. I can’t recommend this book enough!”

Robin Long

“I feel seen, and my feelings feel validated. Allie’s storytelling gives permission to feel overwhelmed, not only to the modern mother but also to the generations to follow. Decluttering is way beyond ‘stuff,’ and this book is an essential read for those who want to feel lighter.”
