Critics Review
“So much stuff accumulates by midlife, but if you’re ready for a reset, Carrie will help you take control of your life for good. In this no-nonsense but encouraging book, you’ll learn how to make swift decisions while honoring memories—so your time can be spent living rather than managing things.”
—Laura Vanderkam, author of Big Time: A Simple Path to Time Abundance
“The Midlife Edit is a beautiful reminder that letting go isn’t loss, it’s making space for what truly matters. This book gently guides you to release the excess and step into your next chapter with clarity, purpose, and peace.”
—Nikki Boyd, organizing expert & author of the Beautifully Organized series
Carrie Powell
Carrie Powell is a professional organizer and decluttering coach. As a midlifer and almost-empty nester, she draws on her personal experience and those of hundreds of clients to inform her approach to midlife decluttering. She has been witness (and coach!) to countless transformations that have changed lives for the better.
Organizing and coaching is a career she found in midlife, after spending 30 years in Fashion Merchandising at Nordstrom. Even though her own home is organized, a pandemic-fueled decluttering frenzy led to a newfound appreciation for the art of curating a lifetime of possessions and its impact on the next life’s chapter. Her coaching is rooted in habits, shifting mindsets and building muscle that breaks down overwhelm.
