"Clutter isnāt just the stuff in your closet. Itās anything that gets between you and the life that you want to be living."
ā PETER WALSH
Do you know whatĀ KIND of clutter...
is making YOUR life HEAVY?Ā

Mind Clutter
ā This manifests as the negative thoughts that are weighing you down.Ā
Maybe you believe that you're too much or not enough. Or you spend a lot of time ruminating about your interactions with others.Ā Perhaps you believe that you have to DO IT ALL, ALL THE TIME to be worthy. These are all examples of mind clutter that incessantly tells you that you deserve the extra wine and cake, or 'to shop until you drop.'

Body Clutter
āĀ This is what you put in and on your body that doesnāt do you any favors.
Maybe youāre mindlessly consuming too many empty calories. Perhaps you'reĀ using toxic beauty care and questionable cleaning products. Or the air you're breathing is contaminated with toxic mold. Body clutter becomes the exhaustion and excess pounds that get between you and the life you want to live.

Home ClutterĀ
ā This looks like an uncomfortable amount of stuff and it's impacting how you feel and what you do.
Home clutter represents all of the distractions in which you looked for happiness and didnāt find it. The clutter in your home doesnāt just make a visual mess; it creates sensory overload and stress in your life. It's not only harming your health & well-being, it's harmingĀ our beautiful planet as well.

Hi there, I'm Heather Aardema
Former overweight clutter-bug turned minimalist and the founder of School of Living Lighter.
As a former TV ad executive, I spent two decades convincing people that they needed the latest gadget to be happy. Struggling to find deeper meaning in my job towards the end of my corporate career, I bought anything I wanted telling myself I deserved it.Ā
I couldn't take off my extra weight, my home was CLUTTERED, and life felt complicated and heavy.Ā
I embraced minimalism, left the corporate world, and now help thousands through my Living Lighter membership and DIY courses.
I discovered minimalism. The intentional pursuit of focusing on what matters most by removing the distractions that remove one from lifeāand felt myself getting lighter by the day.
I left corporate, embraced a LIGHTER way of living, and today have helped thousandsĀ through my Living Lighter membership & DIY courses tackle their clutter, un-complicate their lives, and lose their excess mental, emotional and physical weight for good.Ā
Love for Living Lighter

āHeather has a way of shining light on the areas that trouble you and she leads you to higher ground where being YOU is such a joy. Working with Heather my weight began to drop, opportunities came my way, I began a new field of study professionally, and the love of my life appeared. Basically, my life flipped. I've released 50 lbs now. I have also lowered my blood glucose (HbA1c), lowered my cholesterol, normalized my triglycerides, and dropped several sizes.ā

āHeather is loving, caring, upbeat and youthful. She brings ideas that pivot my attention, thinking and behavior, like how to show up for myself in a way that feels right and light, moves me forward, and is my own choice. We have spoken about decluttering the house, paperwork, choices of food habits, relationship issues, and life decisions. Heather helps in EVERY domain. All of this is a work in progress for me, and Iām LOVING the journey, each step of the way."

āHeather has a beautiful way of bringing lightness to all aspects of lifeāEVEN declutteringāsomething that has always felt so heavy. When looking at it through her lens, itās so much easier to reframe and LESS really does become more. Sheās helped me see that clutter isnāt just physical thingsāmind clutter, relationship clutter...those matter, too, and when you hone in and remove that āinvisibleā clutter, the physical clutter becomes much easier to work through. Heatherās approach has by far been the most helpful in moving me forward.ā
