273: What You're Overlooking in your Declutter Journey

Ever notice how trees just let go of their leaves every fall? No drama, no clinging—they just drop those suckers like they’re hot. Now, imagine if we could do the same with the clutter in our homes and lives. Today’s episode is all about that sweet, sweet release. We’re talking about letting go of the junk (and the baggage) that’s weighing you down and making space for what’s next. You’ve already done the heavy lifting with the decluttering, but have you thought about what you’re still holding onto? And more importantly, why? We’ll dig into how holding on to things from past seasons of your life can keep you stuck and how letting go—just like those leaves—can open you up to a whole new world of possibilities. I’m also spilling some tea on a little nature-inspired epiphany I had the other day, plus sharing a story about one of my amazing students who ditched her boxes of “memories” and made space for something way cooler. If you’re ready to stop clinging and start living, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Life Has Seasons—So Does Your Stuff: Just like trees drop their leaves, you need to drop the clutter that no longer serves you. Trust me, it’s holding you back. Decluttering = Mental Detox: Forget the chore mindset. Think of decluttering as a brain cleanse. You’re making room for clarity, creativity, and, you know, life. Take It One Baby Step at a Time: No need to go full KonMari in a weekend. Start small—one drawer, one shelf, one random pile of “important” papers. Trust the Process: Letting go is hard, but trust me, it’s like a magic spell for inviting in the new, shiny things that your future self will thank you for.
