Katy is full of enthusiasm and great ideas for managing clutter. As a young mother herself, Katy has particularly good tips for others at that stage of life. However, as an empty nester and soon to be retiree, Katy also has great ideas for paring down and cleaning out, so we don’t have to leave it for our kids to do. Upbeat and practical - I highly recommend this podcast.

I love how Katy recognizes the need to dive deeper into the behavioral patterns and emotional connections we develop with the stuff we acquire. I always learn something helpful and meaningful when I listen to her show. She’s so relatable… and always gives listeners helpful tips and thought-provoking advice.

Katy has so many useful tools on simplifying and declutterring your home!

Katy’s episodes are quick and actionable! Her approach to clutter and organization are so realistic. You can transform your home and mind little bits at a time with her guidance.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Katy uses data and applies it to help us see how our minds work. Decluttering does take strategy and understanding as to why we do what we do. In turn, this teaches us how to let go of those mindsets that are truly holding us back so that we can move forward. I love that most of the episodes are informative yet short as some days I don’t have a lot of time to listen. Thanks Katy for creating this wonderful and inspiring podcast.

Katy respects your time and keeps her podcasts brief, but they’re full of helpful information. She speaks from her personal and professional experience with a judgment free attitude of compassion, and encouragement .

I love Katy’s podcast. Wonderful, actionable advice and the episodes quick and efficient. I must listen for anyone looking to declutter their home and life!

Although I’m not a mother I find the podcast relatable. I appreciate Katy’s realistic and authentic approach to decluttering. I look forward to the weekly reminders of mind shifts and tips on making my home less stressful and overwhelming.

There are so many reasons to love this podcast, but the main one is Katy offers practical tips for simplifying your home that don’t take days and weeks to implement. She encourages listeners to do what they can and once they see progress, it makes them want to keep going.

I really enjoy listening to Katy’s practical advice in each podcast episode. She shares intentional, easy to implement ideas for decluttering. I also belong to her Clutter Club, which is a wonderful membership space. Thanks, Katy!

I listen to a lot of declutterring and self-improvement content and Katy is one of my favorites! She is very inspiring and gives realistic tips. She is down to earth and relatable. Listening to her keeps me in a good mindset for declutterring and I have made a lot of progress in 2024 using her tips. She focuses on balance and doing what works for each individual rather than some arbitrary standard we are often sold. I can’t wait to hear more of her this year!

Katy is a very kind soul with so many helpful tips! Even though I don't know her personally, I feel like I do. She's so supportive with the way she talks and what she says. Her approach is never condescending or judgmental. Katy's podcasts are the perfect length with the perfect tips that you can apply right away. The nightly reset that she speaks of has been a game changer in my home. I really appreciate all that she does for her followers, who she seems to care a lot about. Thank you, Katy!

I highly recommend the “Maximized Minimalist” podcast by Katy Wells! Her advice is incredibly practical and motivating, making the process of decluttering and simplifying your home feel achievable. Katy’s approach is both relatable and inspiring, and her episodes are always a joy to listen to. If you’re looking for actionable tips to create a more organized, stress-free space, this podcast is a must-listen!

Hands down my favorite podcast to listen to. Always practical, always succinct. My tween son binges episodes in his room when he’s trying to motivate himself to clean up his Lego collection, which is not minimal.

Katy is so genuine and she shares so many great, practical tips and insights. She has been instrumental in helping me go from feeling overwhelmed with my life to experiencing peace and victory again!

Such a helpful and inspiring place that I go every week to keep my life in order!

Katy is so practical and breaks things down into manageable pieces. I never felt judged. Her guidance is gold!

I’ve listened to a number of minimalist podcasts. I’ve since weeded down to just a few, but this one is by far my favorite. Katy has such a soothing voice & is incredibly practical in her approach. Her episodes keep me motivated without making me feel like I need to climb the clutter mountain in one day. A wonderful resource - thank you Katy!

I love listening to this podcast every Sunday while I clean. It’s just the motivating reminder I need to continue to simplify my life. Sometimes we just need that encouraging voice in our ear to keep us moving in the right direction! Thanks for all you do, Katy!

I need lots of help !! Thank you for this enlightening podcast !!

I really enjoy Katy’s shows. I’ve gotten something helpful out of every episode I’ve listened to. Katy’s podcast and membership have made cleaning up and making a cozy home easier for me.

Dear Katy, I first listened to you as a guest on Megan Sumrell’s podcast and after that show, I started listening to your podcast too! You are a wealth of knowledge! You have helped me to calm my anxiety about my cluttered home with your easy to implement strategies and suggestions. Every weekend, I pop on my EarPods and start my decluttering process as I listen to your episodes. I feel like I’m working along side a friend. You keep me motivated and inspired to reach the finish line! I’m so grateful I bumped into your podcast as my life has taken a turn for the best! Thank you for being you and for starting this incredible podcast! God bless you and your family! Sincerely, Susan (Momma to four boys and two fur babies)

Katy has such great insights! I love the weekly episodes.

Katy covers SO much more than simply minimizing!! She really gets to the root of the cause of clutter and then uses each episode to address the various ways that we can find freedom mentally, physically, and emotionally! Thank you for helping us take action towards a healthier life one step at a time!

I love listening to Katy’s podcast and when I found her, I binged most of her pervious episodes. I look forward to her new episode and listen right away! She has definitely helped me to live a more clutter free life.

Katy’s podcast is my #1 favorite! She’s easy to listen to, fun and practical! She gives you so many tools to change your life and for me it truly did just that! I’m never going back to old habits now that I know what it’s like to have a simplified home. I started listening a few months ago, joined one of her challenges, and started using her home management course. I have tried so many other methods but hers is the only one that has fit my busy life and is easy to use long term. I used to be drowning in clutter and couldn’t relax because of it. My entire family is reaping the benefits of these new strategies. My kids are happier now that there are less toys, and I can clean up so much faster and easier. I’m not embarrassed when people drop by unannounced anymore, and I’m able to be more present throughout my day. Thank you Katy for helping me finally simplify life! For the first time ever my home is the escape I always wanted. I’m always eagerly waiting for the next episode!

I’ve done three of Katy’s 14-day challenges. She targets areas that have the highest impact in a home with young kids, so I see the results quickly. I listen to her podcasts to keep motivated as I work through more sentimental levels of my belongings, and appreciate her ideas and support.

Katy you are an amazing teacher! I just love your podcast, it’s inspiring. You are so good at helping people- right where they are without any judgment. Your concepts are easy to follow without feeling completely overwhelmed and I appreciate it so much! I’m in the midst of my first 14 day challenge and have made huge progress in my home. I finally feel like there is hope to getting the clutter out and peace within! Thank you! Amy

Thank you, Katy! I Iove a few things about your podcast: 1) Each one is just the right length … I can learn a lot in just a few minutes. 2) The tips are all exactly what I need to hear as I’m on my decluttering and (somewhat) minimalism journey. 3) Your voice is so easy. I feel like we are sitting in my living room just having a chat. I appreciate your insights and guidance…thank you and keep up the great work!

Thanks for your hard work

This is my first ever podcast review, but Katy deserves it! I’ve been listening to Katy for about a year, going back and devouring episodes daily! Her voice is pleasant, never condescending or grating. Perfect amount of firm-handed advice with empathy on common struggles.

I really like a lot of the material that Katie offers. I like her positive attitude and her suggestions. However, lately I’ve been frustrated with nonstop ads about buying things from her.

Katy’s podcast is definitely my favorite decluttering podcast. Her talks are motivational and informative but feels like you are getting a pep-talk from a friend. Katy allows for vulnerability when she shares her personal stories. She explains things in a way that makes me have confidence in myself to have success.

I first found the show through a random recommendation in the podcast app. I really enjoyed the podcasts and learned about the 14 day clutter challenge. I’ve found the challenge so helpful and have made some huge progress. It’s such a supportive community that helps encourage others to make progress.

Listened to Katy for the first time during a online conference. I purchased her clutter crusher 14 day challenge and it have been very motivating! I been listening to her and am looking forward to more of her podcasts. Starting to find decluttering fun instead of dreading it. Update: doing a second 14 day challenge with Katy and it is motivating! Helping me dig deeper with decluttering.

I found Kay’s class and 14-day Clutter Challenge this month and it has changed my life! Katy gives advise and small tasks that are easy to follow even when the clutter is overwhelming.

I wanted to like it but 2/3 or more of every episode is a sales pitch for something else she has come up with. The advice is rarely anything new or useful, just staggered bullet points between sales pitches.

This podcast has helped me a lot with declutterring! Her 14 day clutter challenge also life changing🎉🎉

Look forward to listening each week. Katy’s topics are short and sweet and so very motivating!! Even started her 14 day declutter challenge and my house is feeling so much better a week in. Must listen!!

I’ve been listening to Katy’s podcast for years and have slowly implemented many of her practices & habits. I finally decided to join her 14 day clutter challenge and this is exactly what I needed to take things up a notch. It’s so helpful to have all the support of this community.

I found Katy Wells through another program I listen to and boy am I glad I did! As a busy mom myself, I can still find time to listen to her podcasts as I’m multitasking and have been able to incorporate decluttering in 10-20 minute increments throughout my day. I used to think I needed to spend several days at a time getting anywhere with decluttering, but through Katy, I have found that I can still make great progress by getting in 20 minutes a day! Katy is very relatable and has been there before, living in the chaos of clutter, so she gets it! I appreciate how she breaks down how to change one’s mindset about clutter. I’ve tried decluttering before, but it never worked because I didn’t change my mindset. I always feel motivated and inspired when I listen to Katy.

If your life sometimes feels like a whirlwind of stuff and stress, get ready to meet your new decluttering BFF! Katy is a delight on “The Maximized Minimalist" podcast. I love her down-to-earth vibes and been-there-done-that know-how and that she helps to clear not only the physical clutter but also the mental and emotional cobwebs that might be holding you back. It's like having a lively chat with a friend who just happens to be a top decluttering guru.

I’ve loved decluttering and organizing since I was little. I’ve also had an empty box for donations as long as I can remember. BUT as I got older, it wasn’t as easy for me to declutter the sentimental things. Listening to Katy’s tips, stories from her students or her own stories have given me the inspiration to declutter more and more. Plus, she’s fun to listen to as well!

Hello Katy! I recently stumbled upon your podcast when I started my Amazon music account. I started listening to your current episodes, but decided in order to learn the whole story about you I would start from episode 00. I am currently up two episode 150-ish and plugging along until I get to the most current episodes. I love when you have special guests on that cover all different topics from fashion colors, to home, decorating, to finance/budgeting. I am a listener from Wake Forest, North Carolina, it’s nice to know that I have a North Carolina connection in Asheville if I ever need one, lol! I’m a professional organizer in my area and I love learning more and more that you have to offer! - Julie

Katie-I have listened to you for years -and have sooo enjoyed your content… But today’s podcast about your grandfather was so so so powerful… My favorite ever! keep up the great work… Love, Maureen💕

I have to say that I really loved listening to her podcasts. She had great advice and really good interviews… until I got to an episode where she talked about what we need to do to be clutter free but never actually said what it was. It became a REALLY long infomercial for her course. Cool! I’m happy that you have a course, and I might have tried it, but to find out at the end of the episode that I just listened to a really long infomercial was disappointing to say the least. I’ll keep listening, but I know that if it starts sounding like another infomercial then I’ll be unsubscribing. No offense, but I don’t have time in my life to listen to yet another commercial. So much time wasted :(

I’m currently a student in the 14-day Clutter Challenge, and on the first day, Katy mentioned this podcast, so I’ve started listening. She gives us practical tips for decluttering within the course, and this podcast delves deeper into certain aspects of minimizing the effects of clutter. For example, the podcast I just listened to reminds me that most people are too concerned with their own ‘stuff’ to notice my ‘stuff’—like the clutter in my home or like someone wearing the same dress to church each week for 3 months. Nobody noticed! Great reminder! Thank you for these practical tips!

Enjoying this podcast very much. It is my go-to lately. So encouraging and motivating with realistic / doable approaches for busy moms. I’m a mom of 4 littles and Katy has given such awesome info on decluttering that I’ve been able to implement and stay on track! Living a way fuller life with less clutter has been life changing for me and in turn for everyone in my family. Mamas, we sets the tone of the house!! My peaceful home is a major priority. Thanks Katy!!

This podcast is such a gem. I’m a mom of 3 including 1 year old twins and this has been a game changer for me. The advice is down to earth, practical and judgment free. The tips are actionable and come without the usual legalism so typical of traditional minimalism. I highly recommend!

I recently found Katy Wells on Podcast and have truly enjoyed her techniques of decluttering. When she had mentioned about her, YouTube channel, I went to it and have her playing as I deal with all the clutter I have from my bedroom to my garage. I love her style and highly recommend her if you need to do some serious decluttering in your house.
