Clutterbug Podcast
A motivational podcast offering practical decluttering advice and psychological insights based on the host's four-style organizing system.
A high-energy, motivational self-help show that blends practical decluttering tips with pop psychology. Host Cas Aarssen frames disorganization not as a moral failing but as a mismatch between a person's innate style and their systems. The show's core is her proprietary "Clutterbug" archetypes (Bee, Butterfly, Cricket, Ladybug), which serve as a central diagnostic tool to create lasting, personalized organizational habits.
“The core differentiator is the four-part "Clutterbug" organizing personality system. Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, the show's philosophy is about finding the right system for your specific "bug" type, whether you're a visual or hidden, macro or micro organizer.”
Who hosts this show
Hosted by Cassandra "Cas" Aarssen, a self-proclaimed "recovering super slob" turned organizing expert, this podcast offers motivational advice to conquer clutter. Aarssen, who has ADHD, shares her personal journey and uses her proprietary "Clutterbug" organizing philosophy—a system of four distinct styles—to help listeners find personalized solutions that work for their brains. The show combines tough-love encouragement, practical tips, and expert interviews to transform homes and lives.
