Hi First name / Slothies!

I want to keep it real with you this week. I’ve been backsliding on some of the routines I know help my mental health. I've been staying up waaay too late, not moving my body and ignoring the habits that make me feel grounded like journaling. So naturally, when my routines fall apart what tends to happen is I get those familiar, frustrating thoughts of feeling behind, overwhelmed, and unsure where to even begin.

 

If you’ve been there recently too—I hope you’ll offer yourself a little grace.

 

I know I had to.

 

My husband and I both had to say “shut it” to my Negative Nancy inner dialogue ( that of course creeped out and annoyed us both).

 

What’s even wilder is that I’ve recently been working with folks navigating ADHD and executive function challenges. In doing the research to support them better, I’ve found myself nodding along a little too hard.  And it hit me—maybe a lot of us are experiencing a kind of modern-day mental overload that mirrors what neurodivergent folks go through every day.

 

Everything that’s going on in our nation, on top of the usual life stuff is a lot to navigate. It’s bound to overload us.

 

 

They’re not just trendy self-care tips—they’re real tools for regulating our nervous systems. But they’re also like muscles. If you don’t use them, you lose em.

 

So if you’ve fallen off track like I have, let’s stop beating ourselves up. Let’s pick one thing to focus on for the rest of the week and treat that as enough.

 

And here’s the truth: when you’ve experienced burnout, you don’t just “recover.” You’re always working to not fall back into it. You’re constantly learning to check in with yourself and honor what you need now—not just what used to work. And for me this week, it meant challenging my inner dialogue, it meant being silly just for the dopamine, reminding myself that progress matters more than perfection, and showing up—even when things feel messy.

 

That’s why this newsletter is hitting your inbox with all its rambling glory!  I had to pull it together using a voice note while in traffic (shout out to voice notes for saving my creative process more times than I can count!). Not because I think this email is going to change the world, but because I promised I’d show up for you, and I mean that. I value consistency, even when it’s imperfect. And if you’re in a season where showing up feels hard, I hope this gives you permission to show up messy, too.

 

We don’t do this life thing perfectly. We do our best, try to live with intention and according to our values. And we give ourselves grace when the path gets rocky.

 

So tell me—what’s one messy way you can still show up? Hit reply and let’s chat 💬

 

Rooting for you always,

Room to Breathe: Our May Event Is Almost Here!
 

We’re officially a month out from Room to Breathe, and if you’ve been waiting for a sign to start that decluttering project… this is it. This event is designed to give you the guidance, accountability, and support you need to finally clear the clutter and create calm in your space.

 

🎟️ Early bird pricing is available until April 19, so now’s the time to grab your spot before the price goes up!

 

Okay, maybe it’s a little luke warm, since technically the article dropped in February, but in case you missed it—Savvy Sloth Strategies was featured in Apartment Therapy’s Dorm Therapy! I shared some of my favorite tips for organizing makeup in small spaces, and it totally took me back to those tiny dorm room days (Go Ramblers 🐺 !!).

 

✨ Why this matters: 
Articles like this help us reach more ambitious women who are just starting to navigate having a space of their own. It’s an opportunity to share our slow, sustainable philosophy early—because no matter your age or season of life, your space should work for you. And this kind of exposure helps build our credibility while reminding women that they don’t have to do it all alone.

 

If you’ve got a college student in your life—or a cramped vanity of your own—give it a read and feel free to pass it along!

Spring cleaning season is here—and if your home’s been feeling a little “off,” let’s fix it!

 

I’m now booking home organization sessions for May, and whether you’re prepping for guests, getting ahead of summer break, or just need to feel more at peace in your space, I’m here to help.

 

We’ll tackle the clutter, set up easy-to-maintain systems, and most importantly—take the pressure off. These sessions are not just about pretty bins or Pinterest-perfect pantries—they’re about reclaiming your time, energy, and mental clarity.

Here are a few little treasures that have been brightening my days lately.
