Every spring, it’s like a switch flips and suddenly we all want to clean, declutter, and reset our homes. And if you’ve ever wondered why that happens — it’s not just the weather.

In this video, I’m talking about why spring cleaning is even a thing, where it comes from, and why it feels so natural this time of year. Turns out, people across different cultures have been doing some version of spring cleaning forever, and once you understand the reason, it actually makes a lot of sense.

We’ll chat about:
• why spring cleaning shows up in so many cultures
• why cleaning feels easier in spring than in January
• how clutter affects stress and mood (even when we don’t notice it)
• and why spring is such a good reset point for our homes

I also share how I personally approach spring cleaning without turning it into a weeks-long project, plus a few simple areas I like to focus on when I’m doing a spring refresh.

Spring cleaning isn’t mandatory — but understanding why we feel drawn to it can make it feel way less overwhelming.
