Hey there—I’m Tracy Lynn 👋
If we were meeting in person, you’d probably get one of my slightly-too-long hugs (just ask my grown sons, they’ve been tolerating them for decades). But since we’re meeting here, let me share the story of how I went from being a clutter-overwhelmed mom to a downsizing coach for women who want a lighter, freer home.
From Clutter to Clarity
Years ago, I was in the thick of it, an attic packed with “just in case” items, closets that wouldn’t close, and even the occasional dirty dish shoved in the oven (yep, that happened). I was a hot mess, plain and simple.
But then I did something about it. I learned, I tested, I failed, and I figured out a system that worked. I got my home back under control, and more importantly, I started teaching other women how to do the same. For the last nine years, I’ve been helping women clear the chaos and create homes they actually enjoy.
And for a while? That was enough.
The Wake-Up Call
Then came our move. Packing up decades of “stuff” was my aha moment: all the decluttering in the world hadn’t truly solved the problem. I still had way more than I needed for the life I was actually living.
That’s when it hit me—decluttering is good, but downsizing is better.
Decluttering asks, What should I get rid of? Downsizing asks, What do I actually need for my life right now?
It’s a total shift in perspective. And honestly? It’s the approach that saved me.
Why Downsizing Works
Downsizing flips the script:
- It’s not about guilt.
- It’s not about endless piles and marathon sorting sessions.
- It’s about math and reality.
Two sets of linens per bed.
Two dish sets per person.
Only what fits in the drawer, closet, or container.
The space sets the boundary, the math makes the decision, and the overwhelm finally goes away.
Why I’m Here
I know how heavy “too much stuff” feels, physically and emotionally. I also know the freedom of letting it go and creating a home that supports you instead of stressing you out.
That’s why I rebranded Declutter in Minutes to focus on downsizing. Because while decluttering gets you started, downsizing gets you free.
This isn’t just a blog. It’s a lifeline. A place where women can ditch the excess, keep what matters, and finally right-size their homes, and their lives.
I’ll be your coach, cheerleader, and sometimes tough-love truth-teller, walking you through one step at a time. Because you don’t need another system that overwhelms you. You need something that works with the life you have today.
A Few Fun Things About Me
- I’m a mom of four grown boys and a proud grandma to my two “Grand Nuggets.”
- I’ve been married for 36+ years (which means my husband has earned a gold medal in patience).
- I drink my coffee strong, laugh loud, and believe baskets are basically a love language.
