You know that feeling when your home, workspace, or bedroom feels just a little too full?
You look around and see drawers overflowing, closets crowded, that one box in the corner giving you the side-eye every time you walk past?
Clutter isn’t just physical—it carries energy. (To prove my point—think of how you feel in your body when your space is clutter-free versus when it’s spilling over with junk.)
While this might sound unusual, in my experience—both personally and with clients—this can be a subtle snapshot of your relationship with money.
Let me share a quick story from my own life.
When my boys were toddlers, we were in a very lean season financially. I was strapped for cash—as in, counting-coins-to-buy-diapers—and feeling worn out in every way. However, I was also in a season where embracing self care had become a priority, even when I didn’t have disposable income.
One day I prayed and asked God how I could take care of myself when I didn’t have a penny to spend on anything beyond the absolute necessities.
His response took me by surprise: “Clean out your underwear drawer. Get rid of anything that doesn’t make you feel pretty.”
Huh? My underwear drawer? Did I hear you correctly, God?
Despite my surprise, I intuitively knew there was an invitation for me here. So I obeyed.
I threw out anything torn, stretched out, uncomfortable, or just plain sad, even though I had no idea when—or how—I’d replace it.
As a result, here’s what happened:
I had to confront the fear and scarcity mindset that said, “Don’t throw it away. You might need it.” Tossing those old undies was demonstrating to God, “I trust You to provide.” By letting go of what no longer served me, I was creating space for new, more aligned options to come my way.
I also made an internal, but powerful declaration: “I deserve to feel good in my body—even if no one else sees it.” That wasn’t vanity—that was a statement of worth.
This tiny act of decluttering became an act of spiritual trust. A gesture of self-love. And a statement to the unseen world around me:
I’m making room for more.
That’s why I believe clutter and cash flow are more connected than we think.
When we hold onto things that no longer serve us—whether they’re physical items, old stories, or outdated beliefs—we block the energy of generosity, flow, new opportunities, and possibility.
But when we create space, we invite freshness into our homes… and into our finances.
Your mission (should you choose to accept it):
This week, I want you to pick one small area to clear: a drawer, a cabinet, a purse, a shelf.
IMPORTANT: Let it be easy.
Do it not from shame or pressure, but from the desire that says:
“I trust that what I need is coming; and I’m making room.”
For extra fun… ponder this journal prompt:
“What am I holding onto—physically or financially—that’s weighing me down more than it’s supporting me?”
I dare you to take the leap. After all, what have you got to lose except the beliefs (and ‘stuff’) weighing you down?
With never-ending belief in your greatness,
