Making the Space Monday
Making the Space Monday is your weekly reset if you’re feeling overwhelmed — at home, in your head, or in your schedule. Hosted by coach Jackie Picchi, this podcast is for busy women who are tired of constantly managing life and ready to actually live it. We’ll talk about decluttering your home, your thoughts, and your time — not just to be more organized, but to make the space for what truly matters. Because this isn’t about your space. It’s about what your space is taking away from you. Each week, you’ll leave with one practical shift you can use right away to feel lighter, clearer, and more aligned.

Already dreading the Christmas cards this year? SAME. The photographer emails, the coordinating outfits, the price of stamps, the hunt for everyone’s new address. If you feel like you can’t skip it, you’re not the only one. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing why our family stopped sending Christmas cards a few years ago, the best little surprise that came out of it, and the one question ...
We’ve been landlords. We’ve owned homes, including our dream home. We’ve rented more than once. And right now we’re in one of our happiest seasons, as renters. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing a bit of a hot take: owning a home isn’t the finish line, and renting isn’t a step backward. After 12 homes in 6 cities and 2 states, I’ve learned the right home is the on...
I just got back from the best vacation, a moms’ getaway to the South with my best friend. But this episode isn’t really about the trip. It’s about what I noticed while I was there and how I’m bringing it home into my fall. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing why we don’t have to wait for vacation to feel calm, present, and alive.
This past summer I had a wild idea I couldn’t stop thinking about: I wanted to homeschool. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing the honest, unpolished story of how we got here. There was no five-year plan and no Pinterest-worthy homeschool room, just a willingness to ask whether our days fit the life we wanted to live.

You could have the most beautiful Container Store system in the world and still see piles of clothes on the floor. You could label everything perfectly, and nothing would stick. What if the problem isn’t your systems? In this episode of Making the Space Monday, we’re talking about ADHD, highly sensitive people (HSP), and what happens when both kinds of brains share one house.
Summer isn’t even over and the school supply displays are already taking over Target. Back to school season doesn’t have to mean losing everything that made summer feel good. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing how to protect that slower pace on purpose, before it disappears the second the school bell rings.

My closet declutter was one of the most popular things I shared during my 30 Days of Decluttering series. But here’s what nobody tells you: decluttering your closet doesn’t automatically fix decision fatigue. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m joined by my dear friend Amy Casey, a color and style consultant with House of Colour, to talk about what did.
This week’s episode starts with a home video night that turned into an unexpected gut-check. Watching old clips of the kids, the toys, the outfits, and all the homes we’ve lived in, it hit me fast: what gets us emotional was never the object in the background. It was the memory. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, we’re talking about why sentimental clutter feels so much heavier than regular clutter, and w...
I took a little break from the podcast, a bigger one than planned, and the reason is kind of the whole point of this show. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I’m sharing my attempt at an analog summer as a tech-loving millennial mom, and what happened when I tried to slow down after my 30-day decluttering project. Spoiler: decluttering doesn’t automatically quiet the busyness, and nobody really talks about that...
This one is a little different. I'm joined by my very first podcast guest, my husband, Mr. Making the Space, for an honest, unscripted conversation about my 30-day decluttering project and what it was like to live with it from both sides. We traded questions, told some real stories, and surprised each other more than once.

Does decluttering still feel heavy, even after you've let a lot go? Sometimes the clutter in our homes isn't about the stuff. It's an old season of life we haven't given ourselves permission to leave behind. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I'm sharing real stories about the bins, bags, and drawers that made sense back then and don't fit the season you're in now.

Feel like you're always decluttering, but the drawers keep filling right back up? Clutter doesn't start in the drawer. It starts with what's coming into your home. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I'm sharing the overconsumption patterns I noticed during my own 30-day decluttering project, and the one question I now ask before anything goes in my cart.

You know those little things you keep meaning to get to? The drawer, the pile, the basket, the closet. They're not a big deal, but they sit in the back of your mind all week and then follow you straight into the weekend. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, I'm sharing how one makeup drawer turned into a bigger conversation about guilt, wasted money, and half-made decisions, and how to stop the small stuff from stealing your...
If your routines keep falling apart, it might not be you. Routines are rigid, and real life with kids is not. In this episode of Making the Space Monday, we're talking about why rhythms work better than routines when life is busy, unpredictable, and far from perfect. The goal isn't a perfect plan. It's something you can come back to after a rough week.
