In today’s episode, we’re diving deep into the power of the words we use when it comes to our clutter – not just the things we say out loud, but those whispers in our hearts that can either paralyze us or propel us forward.
In this eye-opening episode of Clutter Free Academy, Kathi Lipp sits down with authors Angie Hyche and Liana George to discuss the powerful impact of language on our decluttering journey. The trio explores the common phrases – or “dirty words” – that keep people stuck in cycles of clutter and shame.
Listeners will discover:
Why no one is “born organized” and how organization is a learned skillThe real meaning behind “just in case” thinking and how it relates to fearThe importance of starting small and celebrating progressWhy cleaning and organizing are “morally neutral” activitiesIf you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, ashamed, or just plain stuck when it comes to decluttering, this episode is for you.

And as promised:
Kathi’s Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe
Hint: This dough can be frozen as pre-scooped balls or ready-to-slice logs.Prep Time: 20 Minutes
Bake Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 112 cookies (recipe may be halved)
Ingredients:
5 cups oatmeal
2 cups butter, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
4 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 8 oz. Hershey bar, grated
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Measure the oatmeal and place it in a blender to blend into a fine powder.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and both sugars. Add the eggs and vanilla and stir to combine with the butter mixture, then stir in the flour, blended oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir in the chocolate and nuts.
4. Scoop the dough into balls and place about 12 to a cookie sheet, evenly spaced, baking in batches. Bake for 10 minutes.
5. To freeze for later baking: Flash freeze scooped dough balls on a cookie sheet. Individually frozen dough balls are easier to handle and will keep their shape better when transferred to a freezer bag for longer-term storage. Alternately, form the dough into a log about 2 inches around and wrap in plastic wrap. Put the dough in the bag and write baking directions on the bag. I like to experiment with the cookies and find out what the baking time and temp is for frozen dough as well as thawed dough. Bake for 10 minutes, and then keep checking every 2 minutes to get them just perfect.
