About this listen
Give your kids the decluttering guide that will encourage their independence and create a more peaceful home for your family. Allie Casazza has created a resource for you to show kids how to create and design their own space, offering practical ideas on organization and productivity, kid-friendly inspiration for mindfulness, and interactive pages for creativity.
Audiobook read by the author, Allie Casazza, with personalized contributions from her kids Bella and Leeland!
Allie has encouraged women to simplify and unburden their lives as the host of The Purpose Show podcast and through her first book Declutter Like a Mother. Now she's helping you equip your kids and tweens to discover the same joy of decluttering as they
- design and create a space that supports their interests and goals,
- make more room in their lives for playtime and creativity,
- increase productivity and find renewed focus for schoolwork,
- learn valuable life skills, and
- cut down on cleaning time, reduce stress, and feel more peaceful.
Your kids will start to understand that the less they own, the more time they have for what's important. Written in Allie's fun, motivational voice, Be the Boss of Your Stuff
- is ideal for boys and girls ages 8 to 12,
- includes photography and interactive activities with space to write, draw, imagine, and plan,
- shares step-by-step instructions for decluttering,
- offers added practical, personalized instruction from Allie's children, Bella and Leeland,
- and is a great gift for coming-of-age celebrations, the first day of spring, New Year's, Easter, birthdays, back-to-school, or school milestones.
As your kids become more proactive in taking care of their stuff, you'll find your whole family has more time and space for creativity and fun. After all, less clutter, less stress, and less chaos in your kids' lives means more peace, more independence, and more opportunity to grow into who they're meant to be.
Listen to Allie's first book, Declutter Like a Mother, to further equip yourself in decluttering while you empower your kids to embrace their space.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you.

Allie Casazza is a gift to all intentional Mothers
I started with "Declutter Like a Mother" then binged Allie's podcast for weeks & soon found myself enrolled in four of her courses at once through "The Abundance Academy". I am no where near even the middle of my decluttering journey, but when I have my headphones on & I am listening to such an honest and genuine mother it makes simplicity seem doable in such a chaotic world. Considering everything I do to better myself is to better the very example I am for my daughter by trying to rewire my own childhood mind, I had this book on pre-order. With what is currently going on in the world, I've pulled my daughter to homeschool while the home still holds clutter that can make it a stressful environment... I have been trying to break up every self improvement/ home organization book and course that I am consuming into mini lessons to try and accomplish teaching my child simultaneously some of the important lessons I missed growing up to simplify her every day living and future! Allie REALLY helps me do just that in such a huge way by helping me teach her-honestly, better respect for herself & her possessions that are taking up her "time & space". My daughter already knows about Allie and her kids from certain videos in the courses I have her watch - I think them being involved in this book will do wonders for kids connecting to the concept of what their parents are really trying to accomplish for their childhood. Thank you to the entire Casazza Family for giving families around the world hope to become intentional & efficient with their everyday living in a time where it feels many parts of our society are working against us having such peace of mind. Sending love and blessings! ANY Allie Casazza book, podcast & course is highly suggested. It is worth the investment EVEN if money is a struggle- she will teach you why.

Helpful For Any Age
I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this audio book. I found the information helpful and insightful. I am actually going to go back through this book and apply it to my own room! I feel the content of this book can be applied to any age. I also feel the questions and insights within this book helped me look at things in a new and productive way. This new way of viewing the process assisted me in working through a few road blocks when it came to decluttering the kids' stuff beforehand. Thank you for another great book Allie!❤
