“Ditch Your Sh*t feels like your big sister (that's allowed to cuss—a lot!) giving you a tough love pep talk for cleaning your room. Kate Evans breaks down the mental component to why your home is cluttered so you can break through and get your stuff tidied up and organized. Get ready to break through previous barriers and tackle those spots that you haven't figured out yet. Kate's approach blends realistic expectations and practical methods to help you get stuff done.” —Becky Rapinchuk, 4x author and founder of Clean Mama

“Kate Evans delivers equal inspiration and motivation in Ditch Your Sh*t: Decluttering Your Mindset to Declutter Your Home, sharing her personal story, generous wisdom, and plenty of practical checklists that actually inspire action. This isn’t another book you’ll dog-ear and forget. It’s the clutter-clearing companion you’ll reach for again and again as you move through your home, one room at a time.” —Amanda Gibby Peters, founder of Simple Shui and House Therapy

“What sets this work apart from typical organizing guides is its emphasis on intentionality and joy as organizing principles. This book reframes decluttering as an act of self-care and environmental nurturing rather than punishment or deprivation... This is a resource I would confidently recommend to colleagues for both personal reflection and potential integration into practice.” —Jada Butler, PA-C, LPC

“Someone in the organizing community once shamed me for calling a client’s belongings ‘stuff.’ A decade later, in a world overflowing with chaos and overwhelm, I’m glad we can finally call out what’s really holding us back: the sh*t cluttering our homes, minds, and lives. Kate Evans offers a bold and refreshing approach to decluttering—one rooted not in shame, but in self-care. With equal parts tough love and strategic magic, this book is a must-read for anyone ready to let go of the past and create a future that’s fully aligned.” —Monica Leed, CEO & Owner of Simply Spaced and author of Simply Spaced: Clear the Clutter and Style Your Life
