Coming Clean With Cassandra Gessel
If you’ve ever felt like life is too overwhelming to even think about decluttering, this episode is for you. Cassandra Gessel’s story is one of resilience, determination, and proof that simplifying your home can be life-changing—even when circumstances make it feel impossible.
Cassandra found Motherhood Simplified during a difficult season. Recovering from back surgery, she was scrolling Pinterest from her hospital bed, searching for a way to regain control of her home. What started as a desperate attempt to manage chaos quickly turned into a life-altering journey toward less clutter, less stress, and more peace.
But her journey wasn’t easy. Within a month of starting, she broke her leg and faced serious health complications that kept her in and out of the hospital. Yet, despite these setbacks, she pressed forward—decluttering even from her wheelchair, determined to create a home that supported her healing and her family’s well-being.
In this episode, we cover:
✔️ How Cassandra decluttered through major health challenges and hospital stays
✔️ The mental roadblocks she had to overcome—especially around growing up with financial insecurity
✔️ How her support system (including her husband and mom) played a crucial role in her success
✔️ The unexpected benefits of decluttering, from reduced anxiety to more time with her kids
✔️ How simplifying her home helped her recover faster and adapt to life’s unpredictable moments
Cassandra’s story is a powerful reminder that decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of stuff—it’s about creating more space for what truly matters. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, this episode will give you the motivation and encouragement to take that first step.
