Summary

The Declutter Queen- a podcast designed to give you tips and tricks on how to declutter your life, physically and emotionally! With our helpful information you can be living clutter free in no time.

If you’ve ever looked around your home and wondered how it became so crowded, felt overwhelmed by overflowing closets, or watched as emails piled up in your inbox, this is the show for you. But decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of stuff; it’s about understanding why we hold on in the first place, and how letting go can create space—not only in our homes, but in our minds and lives.

In a world of constant consumption and endless upgrades, we often find ourselves surrounded by more than we need, struggling to organize and maintain it all. The clutter can quickly become a source of stress, anxiety, and guilt—impacting our relationships, our productivity, and, most importantly, our ability to enjoy the moments that matter. That’s where The Declutter Queen comes in.

Every other week, Avery Cundill, the Declutter Queen, brings you a blend of practical advice, real-life stories, and compassionate strategies for decluttering every aspect of your life. With a supportive and non-judgmental approach, Avery breaks down the habits, beliefs, and emotional attachments that keep us stuck—whether it’s holding onto a sweater you haven’t worn in years, saving every email just in case, or saying yes to too many commitments.

Episodes go far beyond tidying tips. Expect deep dives into topics like:

- Tackling those notorious "junk drawers" and conquering sentimental clutter

- Strategies for digital decluttering, from taming your inbox to organizing your photo library

- Custom routines for maintaining order in high-traffic spaces like kitchens, closets, and garages

- Letting go of guilt from gifts and purchases, and learning how to say goodbye to things without regret

- Decluttering your calendar: making space in your schedule so you can focus on what lights you up

- Addressing the mental and emotional roadblocks that make decluttering feel so hard—and celebrating the victories, big and small

Along the way, you’ll gain new perspectives on consumer culture, perfectionism, and the stories we inherit about “stuff” and self-worth. Avery combines warmth, humor, and actionable steps, helping you move past overwhelm and into a life that feels lighter, calmer, and more intentional.

Whether you’re taking your first steps to clear out physical clutter or ready to dig deep into the mindset shifts that spark lasting change, The Declutter Queen is your trusted guide. Find clarity, reclaim your energy, and make room for joy, creativity, and peace.

  • Declutter to Sell: Letting Go of Stuff Without Losing the Memories

    Declutter to Sell: Letting Go of Stuff Without Losing the Memories
    May 7 2026

    I dive into the emotional side of decluttering, especially when you’re preparing your home for sale. I talk about how our things carry memories—like the dining room where you celebrated birthdays, a child’s giant papier-mâché project, or that old coat by the door—and how the fear of losing those memories can keep us stuck. I encourage you to “keep the memory, not the item,” and share ways to do that, like limiting collections, taking photos of sentimental pieces, and asking whether each item really belongs in your next chapter.

    My guest, Eden Steele, and I discuss her young adult son who struggles to let go of his stuff. I offer practical strategies: start with low‑emotion items, use a temporary box for “not sure yet” things, set containment limits with organizers, and work in short, 10–15 minute sessions. Above all, I focus on creating a supportive, present-focused, functional space.

  • Declutter To Sell: Room By Room (Part 2)

    Declutter To Sell: Room By Room (Part 2)
    Apr 24 2026

    I walk you through a practical, room-by-room approach to getting your home ready to sell. Building on last episode’s “why” of decluttering with realtor Ty Mitchell, I focus here on the “how.” I start in the living room, where I suggest removing excess furniture, taming remotes, and minimizing knickknacks so the space feels open and bright. In the kitchen, I clear countertops and reduce cabinet contents to create the impression of abundant storage. Bedrooms become hotel-like retreats with simple, light bedding and nearly bare nightstands, while bathrooms are stripped of personal items and styled with fresh towels and greenery. Closets get a “boutique” makeover by packing away about half the contents.

    In the second half, I coach my longtime friend Patricia through managing a cluttered home with a “collector” husband, emphasizing starting with her own belongings, organizing neutral zones, and containing collections rather than confronting them.

  • Declutter To Sell: Why Less Sells For More (Part 1)

    Declutter To Sell: Why Less Sells For More (Part 1)
    Apr 9 2026

    This episode focuses on why decluttering is so powerful when you’re selling your home. I share how I recently went through this myself and learned that this isn’t a quick weekend tidy—it can take weeks, and that’s okay. I explain that buyers aren’t buying our stuff; they’re buying the idea of their lives in our space. Clutter makes rooms feel smaller, more personal, and less inviting, while a neutral, clean, intentional space lets buyers imagine their own furniture, routines, and memories there.

    I walk through what “clutter” really means when selling—personal photos, piles of paper, overstuffed shelves, crowded countertops, even oversized furniture that blocks flow. I also highlight the return on investment: decluttered homes tend to sell faster and for three to five percent more, and you’ll be ahead when it’s time to pack.

    Then, with Realtor Ty Mitchell from Winnipeg, we dig into real-world examples from his listings: how depersonalizing, removing bulky items, and even using storage solutions or virtual staging can make a huge difference. Throughout, I encourage listeners to start small—just one room, or even one table—and to expect a “second declutter” pass once they think they’re done.
