Is clutter weighing you down? You’re not alone. Many of us hold onto things for reasons that feel logical—sentimental value, financial guilt, or the belief that we might need them someday. But what if these beliefs are actually keeping you stuck?

In this episode, we’re uncovering six common clutter myths that make decluttering harder than it needs to be. I’ll walk you through the mindset shifts that will help you break free from guilt, overwhelm, and indecision, so you can create a home that feels lighter, more peaceful, and truly aligned with your life.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why “just in case” thinking keeps you stuck in clutter cycles

  • How guilt and emotional attachments can sabotage your decluttering efforts

  • What to do when you feel wasteful getting rid of items

  • Practical tips to shift your mindset and finally let go


If you’ve ever struggled with letting go, this episode will help you see clutter differently—and take action with confidence.
