Break Vape Podcast with Tami Ernst | Quit Vaping in 6 Simple Steps

Is your home filled with piles of laundry, messy countertops, and that infamous junk drawer stuffed with random items? While these physical messes might seem like mere annoyances, they're actually silent stress triggers that could be making your vaping cravings worse. The clutter in our homes creates a constant background noise of stress that our brains desperately want to escape from.

This month, I'm building on our previous stress management work by tackling how both physical and mental clutter impact your vape-free journey. When we're surrounded by mess—whether it's unopened mail, unanswered texts, or that mental list of tasks you haven't gotten to—our anxiety levels rise. And when stress increases, so do those urges to reach for your vape as a quick escape.

The good news? You don't need to transform into a minimalist overnight. Small, intentional decluttering efforts can dramatically reduce your stress triggers and make resisting cravings easier. In this episode, I'll walk you through my simple five-minute declutter method and show you how clearing just one countertop or organizing a single drawer can create the mental space you need to stay committed to your vape-free life. Plus, I'll share my favorite technique for clearing mental clutter that's been a game-changer for many mamas on this journey.
