STUFF. It's everywhere. Lurking in corners and closets, spilling onto counters and coffee tables, creating havoc everywhere we look. And it's not just the physical clutter that weighs us down. Oh no, it is the stress of overbooked schedule, and the weight of a life that sometimes feels oppressive and totally out of whack.

New York Times bestselling author Ruth Soukup feels your pain--she has been there too. Through personal stories, Biblical truth, and practical action plans, she will inspire and empower each of us to finally declutter not just our home, but our mind and soul as well. Unstuffed is real, honest, and gets right down to the question we are all facing--how can we take back our lives from the stuff that is weighing us down?

In this book we will:

Create a comprehensive vision for our homes, and make instant changes to improve its overall function.
Discover that more closet space is not the solution, and instead learn how to set strict limits for the stuff we bring in
Overcome the frustration of dealing with our kids' influx of stuff and implement practical solutions for keeping the chaos at bay.
Recognize the pitfalls of an overstuffed schedule BEFORE it gets out of hand, and instead learn to combat the culture of busy that keeps us running from one thing to the next.
Finally conquer that mountain of paperwork that threatens to tumble down around us at any moment.
Let go of the guilt that gets attached to gifts and instead learn to separate our loved ones from their stuff.
Begin to cultivate our real friendships while eliminating the toxic relationships that weigh us down.

Who Needs This Book?

Unstuffed was written for anyone who feels stressed out or weighed down by a life that feel chaotic, out-of-control, and completely overstuffed. It speaks to the mom who is overwhelmed by the clutter that comes pouring into every facet of her home and schedule, from trinkets and paperwork to endless obligations and activities.

It is for the woman who craves not just a step-by-step guide to ridding our lives of STUFF, but a true understanding of why our lives become so stuffed in the first place--and what we can do to stop the madness, once and for all.

Most of all, it is for the person who is tired of feeling guilty for not being able to do it all, the woman who can't ever quite seem to keep up with other people's obligations of what her home is supposed to be, the mom who is exhausted by always trying to get it right.

Want to know if this book is for you?

Have you ever found yourself buying more storage containers to organize stuff you probably should have just gotten rid of?
Do you ever find yourself frustrated that even when you do manage to get your house cleaned up, it never seems to stay that way?
Do you sometimes feel like you can't keep up with all the activities and obligations you have committed to?
Do you ever struggle to find an important piece of paper because there are just too many pieces of paper to keep track of?
Have you ever felt guilty for getting rid of something that was a gift, or held on to something you didn't really like because someone gave it to you?
Do you feel like there are people in your life who simply suck the life out of you?
Have you ever felt like you need more balance?

If the answer to any of these questions is YES, this book provides realand practical solutions from someone who has been there. Ruth doesn'tjust offer advice, she walks it with you, and shares with brutal honesty her own mistakes, failures, and shortcomings. It is encouraging,motivating, and life-changing.

Review

"A warm, easy-to-follow guide that offers actionable steps to creating a calm, prayerful, stress-free life." -Simple Grace Magazine

"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

"Through powerful story and practical application, Ruth Soukup will help you unstuff your home. But more than that, her words will inspire you to live your most fulfilling life by discarding anything that distracts you from it."-Joshua Becker, bestselling author of The More of Less

"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

From the Author

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

Amazing Book!

I can't thank Ruth enough for writing this book. Her honest, and humble way of writing is refreshing. I very much appreciate her walk with God. She didn't hold back and is right on. Our lives are meaningless without God. His love and Grace has no bounds. He ask so little of us. He won't turn anyone away that wants to accept Him as their personal Savior. He will "unstuff " all our sins. I thank God for giving her the ability to write this book and for bringing it to me to read. Ruth touch on every aspect of our lives, not just our physical stuff. May you always have God's peace and blessings.

A Good Book on Relieving Stress as well as Clutter

Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book is about so much more than overcoming clutter. It is about unstuffing your whole life. Yet the author makes a great point when she describes how people can hang onto items through guilt after the loss of a loved one. It can make people feel guilty to get rid of an item that belonged to their dearly departed loved one. She stresses the point that we should treasure memories not things.

After decluttering our houses she shows us how to declutter friendships. She shows us how sleep is important to our health and other ways to destress our lives. The author finishes with an emphasis on the spiritual and how she became a Christian.

Most every part of this book was helpful to me. And, though I may not agree with everything she wrote, and some things are hard for me to do (like letting go of things I feel too guilty to throw away), the author has shown great wisdom and written a well-organized and spiritual book.

This is as good as it gets. Very uplifted by the closure of this. It took me a lot of time to finally get thru it compared to others, but it is well written, don't get me wrong. Big ideas here. I recommend it to anyone looking to improve their life, however messy it is. This will certainly be of use to you. I wanted to walk on the treadmill toward the end. I wanted to cut the strings carrying me through the day so I could just focus on changing the pattern to something more healthy or real. I felt true motivation reading this. And if there's any uncertainty while reading about the existence of God, you will understand and accept where the author stands. I was ahead of myself in getting organized, and I studied with Jehovah's Witnesses during that time. Then I began reading books such as this, and this one is greatly appreciated. I might even skip the afternoon coffees in favor of more rest and the will to get up and move, because I'm one of those geeks who works at a computer much of the day, with an itch for exercise. Very happy right now. Just about five months ago I cut my coffee intake in half, and to anyone who struggles with caffeine, it can be a real problem. Just shake it off, drink water like I did. I drink three liters of filtered well water a day since 2012, but for a long time I had trouble with coffee...Thanks.

This is my first book by this author. I love her writing style. Couldn’t put it down! I’ve read lots of books on organizing and decluttering. She not only addresses those issues but also the heart issues behind this. Looks at our homes, calendars, lives, souls. Very refreshing, uplifting, and hope-giving. Practical everyday advice and a weekend boot camp-style to get you kicked into high gear. This book is staying on my shelf and not getting donated after I read it, as I do with most books.

I LOVE this book. A wealth of helpful hints. It's helped me every time I've felt overwhelmed by it all. Not only will you unstuff your home, but you will also unstuff your mind! I HIGHLY recommend this book. It helped me look at many things from a different perspective, especially items I have kept for years out of guilt because someone gave it to me!! My friend was looking at my copy, and asked to borrow it. I just bought her a copy of her own so I can get mine back!!

Practical Advice to help you UNSTUFF your life....starting Today!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2016

I like pretty things.I love shopping for sales. I want what others have. The only way I have found the strength to stand up to these likes, loves, wants is to know that what I’m choosing is better.

In her newest book entitled, Unstuffed, New York Times Bestselling Author, Ruth Soukup offers a practical guide for anyone looking to de-clutter their life.

Ruth understands that although the de-cluttering process starts in our homes, it must also carry into our hearts and our habits. Through honest storytelling and fantastic application questions at the end of each chapter, Ruth invites her readers to journey with her towards a beautifully uncluttered life.

She asks hard questions and offers practical solutions, never losing sight of the fact that Unstuffed isn’t a destination but rather a determination to live our best life.

A life that is not cluttered with possessions has room for productivity and prosperity. Ruth inspires her readers to make small, purposeful changes that impact the quality of their life from a multitude of different angles.

This book is about so much more than de-cluttering your closet! Ruth also tackles tough issues like managing stress, building healthy relationships, understanding why you impulse buy and dealing with pack-rat children.

As a person who takes de-cluttering very seriously and has for more than a decade, this book confirmed what I have known in my heart for a long time: Cutting the clutter out of our lives is the first step towards peace, tranquility and financial freedom.

Ruth is genuine and authentic, and I would not recommend this book to you if I didn’t believe it was going to help you.

Get Rid of All the Stuff Weighing You Down

Reviewed in Canada on May 5, 2016

Verified Purchase

In Unstuffed, Ruth Soukup takes the reader through three major life areas and talks about about how we can simplify and unstuff our lives. She cover the home, the mind, and the soul, offering practical advice and personal stories. It is a great companion to her other books, 31 Days To A Clutter Free Life: One Month to Clear Your Home, Mind & Schedule and Living Well, Spending Less: 12 Secrets of the Good Life .

In the Home section, Ruth lays out her Clutter FREE framework and gives the reader a unstuffed weekend challenge. She also deals with how to handle all the clutter that children seem to create.

In Mind she writes about saying no (and references Lisa TerKurst's book The Best Yes ), making time for rest (so important!), taming paperwork, and how to deal with gifts.

In Soul, Ruth writes about friendship, stress, and spiritual matters. Ruth is a practising Christian, and she does reference the Bible a few times in this book, but it isn't until the very end that her faith becomes quite apparent. And, even though I'm not a practising Christian, I understand her points and how they could be applied to my own spiritual path.

The biggest strength of this book is all the resources and bonuses it comes with. There is a page in the back that tells you how to find them, and I strongly suggest you do. The workbook and study guide are both excellent.

To be totally honest, there isn't anything really new in Unstuffed. However, it is still a great book to read if you want to get started unstuffing your life and need some motivation, not only to actually take action to also to clarify your why.
