Get ready to rethink everything you know about home organization when “Happy Mess Method” premieres on The Roku Channel on September 19, 2025. This refreshing new series moves away from the intimidating, perfection-driven ethos of extreme decluttering and instead offers a practical, sustainable, and compassionate approach to creating a home that works for real life. Experts Sabrina Soto and Jennifer McCartney partner with overwhelmed clients to develop personalized systems that embrace the beautiful chaos of everyday living. Their philosophy isn’t about achieving a pristine, magazine-ready look; it’s about finding achievable solutions that reduce stress and create functional, happy spaces without the guilt.

The entire series is built around the transformative partnership and expert guidance of its two charismatic leads, Sabrina Soto and Jen McCartney. Unlike shows that focus on a large supporting cast, “Happy Mess Method” puts its experts front and center, as they are the heart and soul of the program. They work directly with the clients, who become the supporting characters in each episode’s unique story of transformation. This focused approach ensures the advice is clear, relatable, and centered on the “Happy Mess” philosophy.

Meet the Cast of “Happy Mess Method”

1- Sabrina Soto as Host and Expert

Interior designer, television host, and author Sabrina Soto brings her extensive expertise and accessible design sensibility to the “Happy Mess Method.” Known for her work on HGTV’s The High Low Project and as a Target style expert, Soto specializes in delivering high-impact style that is both beautiful and budget-friendly. Her role on the show is to focus on the spatial and aesthetic solutions, helping clients rearrange their existing belongings in a way that maximizes function and flow. She demonstrates that organization isn’t about buying a thousand clear bins, but about working smarter with the space and stuff you already have.

Soto’s warm and energetic personality makes her a relatable guide for viewers. She understands that homes are meant to be lived in and that life is inherently messy. Her approach is free of judgment, instead focusing on empowerment and small, manageable changes that make a big difference. She provides the creative vision, showing clients how to create a home that feels calm and cohesive without demanding they part with their cherished possessions or strive for an impossible standard of perfection.

2- Jen McCartney as Host and Expert

Author and professional organizer Jennifer McCartney is the other half of the dynamic duo, bringing the practical, nitty-gritty organizing strategies to the “Happy Mess Method.” McCartney, the author of The Joy of Leaving Your Sht All Over the Place*, champions an anti-perfectionist, mental-health-aware approach to organization. Her expertise lies in developing simple, sustainable systems that real people can actually maintain. She helps clients tackle paper clutter, overflowing closets, and chaotic kitchens with a focus on functionality and reducing daily friction.

McCartney’s philosophy is the cornerstone of the show. She provides the reassuring voice that it’s okay not to be minimalist and that organization should serve you, not the other way around. Her techniques are designed to be integrated into a busy life, offering realistic habits instead of rigid rules. Together with Soto, she provides a holistic service: McCartney creates the practical framework for order, and Soto ensures that the final result is a space that is not only functional but also personally reflective and stylish.

The Supporting Cast: The Clients

While Sabrina Soto and Jen McCartney are the stars, the true supporting cast of each episode is the featured client or family. These are real people dealing with real-life organizational challenges, from young parents drowning in toys to empty-nesters overwhelmed by decades of accumulated belongings. They are not there to be shamed for their “mess”; instead, they are partners in the process, sharing their struggles and goals to create a personalized plan that works for their unique lifestyle.

These clients provide the emotional core and relatability for the viewing audience. Their journeys from feeling overwhelmed to feeling empowered are the narrative engine of each episode. Their willingness to be vulnerable and try a new approach allows Soto and McCartney to demonstrate their method in action, providing viewers with tangible takeaways they can apply to their own “happy messes” at home. Their transformations are a testament to the method’s effectiveness and its compassionate, human-centered focus.
