109: What to Do with Clothes that Don't Currently Fit
One of the hardest categories to declutter? Clothes that no longer fit.
But just because it's complicated doesn't mean we can't tackle it and make progress (without the overly simplistic approach to just get rid of anything that doesn't fit right now).
In this episode, we’ll start with validation—why it makes sense to feel stuck when your closet doesn’t match your current body—and then move into practical steps for decluttering clothes when your weight has fluctuated.
You’ll hear:
• Three normal reasons women’s bodies change size (from pregnancy to hormones to stress)
• Why your body’s size doesn’t define your worth
• The real problem with women’s sizing
• Five practical tips for editing your wardrobe with compassion — including how to create a “maybe” bin with boundaries
This isn’t about giving up. It’s about creating a closet that fits the you who exists today.
Listen now to learn how to simplify your wardrobe without shame—and make peace with the body you live in right now.
