"As women, we have the tendency to overstuff our lives, our schedules, and our homes with things that really aren't beneficial. And our souls suffer because of our unwillingness to let go. Ruth Soukup tackles this issue head-on and gives practical steps to be purposeful with the stuff we let in our sacred spaces. You'll be thankful you chose this book!" -Lysa TerKeurst, New York Times Bestselling Author of The Best Yes

"We live in a world that's constantly telling us we need to do more, have more, and be more.  It's exhausting and consistently the only thing we ever have more of is stress.  Ruth Soukup is like a breath of fresh air as she calls us to declutter our lives and embrace simplicity.  If you find yourself feeling tired, stressed or overwhelmed, then let the words found in the pages of this book wash over you and take a deep breath.  It's the literary equivalent of a bubble bath and a hot cup of coffee on a cold morning."-Melanie Shankle, New York Times Bestselling Author of Nobody's Cuter Than You

"Readers, whether they're neatniks or clutter queens, will appreciate Soukup's relatable approach, honest sharing, and down-to-earth suggestions. I confidently recommend this title." -Christy Pitney, CBA Retailers Review

Friend, I get it.  I really do.

You're not just overwhelmed by the physical clutter that has been filling up your home, but stressed out by an overbooked schedule that sometimes feels out of your control. You're frustrated by trying to live up to other people's expectations of what your home is supposed to be.  You're tired of guilt and exhausted by relationships that seem to suck the life out of you.

And the very last thing you want is a book that will make you feel worse about yourself, or one that's going to hand you another massive list of things to do.

Believe me, I have been there too.

The thing is--I'm not an expert on decluttering or a professional organizer.  I don't have some crazy unattainable ideal of what our homes should be, or what our schedules should look like.  I'm a mom, wife, daughter, friend, and small business owner who is busy trying to juggle all the pieces of an often chaotic life, just like you.

And Unstuffed was not written to make anyone feel guilty about a home that is less than perfect.  Instead, it offers a strong dose of encouragement through personal stories and practical, easy-to-implement ideas for taking back your life from the STUFF that is weighing you down.

It offers permission to NOT do it all, and much-needed relief from the constant pressure to perform.  It's room for your soul to breathe, and I truly can't wait to share it with you.

My hope and prayer for this book is that it will set you free--free from guilt, free from overwhelm, and free from the expectations of a world consumed by STUFF.

xoxo, Ruth
