New Year, Cleaner You

If your 2025 felt like a hot trash fire, this episode is your reset button.

Shimmy LaRoux breaks down an end-of-year clean-out that goes way beyond your closet. Who are we kidding? This can also be a beginning of the year clean.

We’re talking digital decluttering, ADHD-friendly cleaning, and emotional housekeeping—so you can stop dragging last year’s mess into your next chapter.

You’ll get practical, low-drama ways to clean up your digital footprint (contacts, subscriptions, screenshots, emails), plus a simple approach to clearing your space when motivation is in the basement. Shimmy also shares how she uses the Pomodoro technique (yes, with a real physical timer) to make cleaning doable—especially with ADHD.

Then we zoom out: how to “clean out your heart,” name what you survived, and set one bold goal for 2026—even if it feels delusional. Shimmy shares her own goal: more visibility, and what it looks like to practice being seen in real time.

In this episode:

Digital declutter steps that actually stick
Pomodoro cleaning for ADHD brains
How to celebrate wins (even tiny ones)
One big 2026 goal + 2–3 steps to move
Building a coaching circle (and being one)
The intersection of burlesque confidence and corporate leadership

Perfect for performers, creatives, and “corporate baddies” who want a clean slate with receipts optional.
