    Episode 045: Why Clutter Affects Women's Stress Hormones Differently: Understanding What Your Messy Spaces Are Really Telling You
    Jan 30 2026

    If your kitchen counter has become the final resting place for mail, keys, and random water bottles, this episode is for you. We're not here to shame your piles -we're going to get curious about what your clutter might be saying about your life right now.

    UCLA research from their Center on Everyday Lives of Families reveals that when women describe their homes as cluttered, they show less healthy daily cortisol patterns—their stress hormones don't decline normally across the day.

    But here's the compassionate truth: Your mess isn't evidence that you're lazy. It's information about your internal state.

    SCRIPTURE HIGHLIGHT: "My people will live in peaceful dwelling places, in secure homes, in undisturbed places of rest." Isaiah 32:18
