In this episode, Kelly welcomes New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Myquillyn Smith, also known as “The Nester,” back to the podcast to discuss her new book, House Hushing: The Simple Method to Declutter and Decorate for a More Peaceful Home.

You will learn:

How to recognize when your home feels visually too loud

The emotional cost of visual noise and household clutter

The four practices behind the House Hushing method

Why clutter often attracts more clutter throughout the home

The surprising item found in every home that can predict clutter

Why living with a quieter room can help clarify what deserves to return

How to furnish a new home without rushing to fill it

For the past eighteen years, Myquillyn has encouraged readers and hundreds of thousands of followers to create beautiful, meaningful spaces that truly support their lives. Her House Hushing method has been featured in Real Simple, The Kitchn, Apartment Therapy, and The Guardian.
