About

Welcome!

Hi, I’m Lisa! I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m a reformed packrat, who has slowly learned how to let things go. I grew up with a messy room as a child, and even my college dorm had a LOT of things hidden away in that 10×10 space. I met my husband in college, and we have a distinct memory of him crawling under my bed and pulling out all sorts of things I didn’t need. He was SHOCKED by all of the stuff….but married me anyway.

My husband is a “neat freak” and has helped me a lot along the way. I still have packrat tendencies that make me want to save things, but I have learned tricks along the way that have helped me let things go. I had to learn new habits and deal with my emotional attachments to my stuff.

You know what was wrong with me? Absolutely nothing. A messy home is just the result of your habits, which is great news, because habits can change.

I’m here to help you clean up your home and get rid of clutter by helping you break your emotional attachments to clutter. After all, you’re a smart cookie and can figure out the strategy for getting rid of things (you either need it or you don’t). The hard part is dealing with the emotional side of clutter, and that’s what I’m here to help you with.

From This Simplified Home’s Founder:

This website and associated courses were created by Lauren. The following is written by her about why she created This Simplified Home.

In 2015, I gave birth to my first son and almost immediately set on a journey to change my lifelong messiness. I read every book I could find and watched a ton of YouTube videos, and did a ton of experimentation.

I failed, A LOT.

I’d find something that worked, then life, babies, miscarriages, moving, and new jobs would get in the way and I’d be back at square one.

Except I wasn’t quite at square one.

My house might’ve looked as messy as it did when I started, but there was one key difference: my knowledge.

You see, as you go through this journey of decluttering and turning your home into a calm and peaceful space, you will have your ups and downs.

You will succeed…and you will fail. But with each failure comes knowledge. If you commit to picking yourself up and keep going with your newfound knowledge you will SUCCEED.

And success is sweet. Success is spending a relaxing, lazy afternoon with your kids without an inner monologue telling you all the things that have to be done. It’s knowing that you have food in the fridge and enough toilet paper to last the week.

Success means freeing up a lot of mental space that is currently devoted to negative thoughts. Success means using this newfound mental space to plan special activities with your kids, pick up an old hobby or start a new business.

You can do this!
