🌸 Spring Cleaning My Life: Wellness, Home & Habits That Needed a Reset

Because it’s not just the junk drawer that needed a glow-up—my mindset did too.

April came in like a wind chime and left me feeling like a full-blown windstorm. And not in a bad way—in the necessary way. The kind where you wake up one day, look around, and realize you’ve been moving through life on someone else’s settings.

So, I hit reset. Not because life was falling apart (thankfully), but because it was time to realign with what matters.

We just wrapped our Mother of Wundher Awards Bruncheon, one of my favorite events of the year. And let me tell you—watching women show up in their power, joy, elegance, and softness cracked something open in me.

I saw versions of myself in each honoree. Women who mother through mentorship, resilience, and radical self-awareness. Women who pour out—but also protect their pour. And it made me realize… I deserve that same tenderness.

And since my birthday was on April 27th, I decided to give myself the gift of a spring refresh. Not just in my house, but in my whole life.

1. Wellness, But Make It Gentle

I used to chase routines that looked good on Pinterest but didn’t fit my actual lifestyle. This spring? I softened. I started listening to my body instead of fighting it.

I ditched the guilt about not being a 3 a.m. girl - I'm still a 4 a.m. powder puff - and made space for real rest. I added vitamins, moved with intention (not punishment), and allowed stillness to be sacred.

🌀 Lesson: Wellness doesn’t need to look like a 10-step morning routine—it can just look like being kind to yourself.

2. Decluttering With Permission (and a Playlist)

Nothing says “I’m ready to grow” like finally letting go of the pair of jeans you swore would fit again one day.

This month, I decluttered my space and my spirit. I tossed expired food, old grudges, and the need to prove anything to anyone. I reorganized my closet while blasting ‘90s R&B and remembered who I was before I got so busy.

🌀 Lesson: Decluttering isn’t just for your cabinets—it’s for your energy. You’re allowed to make space for ease. And my ease is hanging out with my boys every chance I get, there is nothing that serves me greater

3. Editing My Commitments Like My Life Depends On It (Because It Does)

I looked at my calendar and audibly said, “WHO scheduled this chaos?” Spoiler: It was me.

So I Marie Kondo’d my commitments, and we are still working on It ;). If it didn’t spark joy, alignment, or growth—it got rescheduled or released.

I stopped going to things out of guilt. I stopped answering calls mid-burnout, and trust me I'm still there. I even started putting myself on my schedule.

🌀 Lesson: You can’t build a life you love if your calendar is full of things you hate. Below me and a few colleagues stumbled upon Brown Winery and the attendant gave us the best VIP treatment.
