Sometimes, the most overwhelming clutter isn’t what we see—it’s what we’ve quietly stored away and forgotten about. In this episode, we explore how on-site storage areas like garages, closets, and attics can slowly become emotional and financial burdens when they're used as long-term holding zones. These spaces may not feel like a problem at first, but over time, they carry hidden costs—monthly fees, decision fatigue, and a subtle weight of guilt.

This conversation is part of our ongoing Storage Series, where we help listeners reframe what it means to store things with intention—and how to move forward when storage starts holding us back.

• Why “out of sight, out of mind” doesn’t always work in our favor
