Quality Over Quantity: My Spring Cleaning Reset Before 38

There’s something about a birthday that lands on a strong number — 38, in my case that makes you want to clear the clutter. Literally.

Quality Over Quantity: My Spring Cleaning Reset Before 38

Right before I turned 38, I felt this deep, unshakable pull to reset. Not just mentally or emotionally (though that’s always part of the journey), but physically in my environment. I did a full-blown audit of my home: my closet, my kitchen, my bathroom drawers, the back of my cabinets. You name it, I opened it, questioned it, and likely tossed it.

It felt like Spring Cleaning 2.0 but with purpose. I wasn’t just organizing. I was clearing energy. Anything old, worn down, unused, or carrying stale vibes? Out. Gone. No thank you. Because if there's one thing I know now, it's that bad feng shui has no business interrupting the flow of my home or my life.

I wanted to welcome 38 with openness, lightness, and a fresh energy that matched where I was going not where I had been.

And let’s talk about the glow-up in your 30s:

There’s a special kind of joy that comes from buying yourself a vacuum and a floor steamer and genuinely meaning it when you say: this is the best thing I’ve ever bought. LOL.

As someone who has always been neat and clean, you’d think there wasn’t much room for improvement. But let me tell you when I ran that steamer over my floors and stepped back? My house didn’t just look clean. It felt new. Clear. Aligned.

It’s funny, the conversations we start having in our 30s, they’re less about chasing more, and more about curating what actually matters. Whether it’s a pair of well-fitting jeans, a thoughtfully stocked kitchen drawer, or a home that feels like peace the second you walk in — it’s all about quality over quantity.

And maybe that’s the lesson of this season:
More isn’t better. Clear is better.
Aligned is better.
Energy that flows is better.

So here’s to being 38!!! To clean floors, clean slates, and the kind of clarity that comes when we make room for what really supports us.
