69 | Messy Kitchen? Lovely Rhythms and Organizing Tips to Help You Feel More Grace and Less Guilt...

Hey, lovely 💛 Welcome back to the Lovely Home Podcast—where we trade grace over guilt and learn how to create rhythms that actually work for your real life, your real brain, and your real home. In today’s episode, we’re diving into kitchen rhythms and routines—but not in a “perfect countertops” kind of way. We’re talking about building a lovely, lived-in, guilt-free kitchen that serves you and your family with more peace, better flow, and less stress. You’ll start with a simple but powerful 5-senses reset to help you look at your kitchen with “lovely eyes” (even if there are dishes in the sink). Then we walk through four practical questions that will help you understand your kitchen better—and finally create changes that stick: • What’s the chaos? (What’s frustrating, stressful, or constantly piling up?) • What’s the calm? (What’s already working well—habits, systems, or set-ups that bring peace?) • What goes? (What are 3 things you can literally remove to free up space and mental load?) • What flows? (What physical items make your kitchen function better?) I also share my real-life “kitchen pain points” and the exact solutions I’m using—like my pausing station, writing sweet notes with dry erase markers on the fridge, my drink drawer, and the absolute game-changer: Slow Cooker Sunrise (a genius habit that helped me wake up earlier, meal prep effortlessly, and feel more present in my mornings). We’ll also touch on the brain science behind clutter—how a messy environment can increase stress and make it harder for your prefrontal cortex to function well, while your amygdala flares and your hippocampus struggles (hello, brain fog). And we’ll ground it all in Scripture as we talk about building your home with wisdom and living in a way that honors God. If you’ve ever thought: “Why is my kitchen always messy?” or “Why can’t I be good enough at keeping it clean?” this episode is your gentle-but-practical reset to stop attacking your temple and start building a kitchen rhythm with confidence—because you’re the boss of your kitchen. And yes… we also end with a spicy Would You Rather Bible question that will absolutely make you pause and think.
