123 | The Items That Carry Your Story: How to Decide What Still Deserves Space


Listen Later

Hi ladies - Are you holding on to boxes of childhood keepsakes, love notes, or those “just can’t toss it” mementos? Maybe it’s not just your stuff—but the sentimental items passed down from others too. These things tell a story… but they can also weigh you down.

In today’s episode, we’re talking about what to do with the most personal items—the ones that feel like a part of you. Whether you’re storing them in bins, scattered in drawers, or tucked in the back of a closet, it’s time to take a grace-filled look at what to reuse, repurpose, or release.

Let's discuss:

  • Why it’s so hard to let go of sentimental clutter (especially those from our younger years)

  • A mindset shift to help you battle those overwhelming or anxious feelings that may arise

  • How to honor your and your family's memories 

  • Creative ways to repurpose meaningful items so they still serve a purpose

  • Encouragement to release what no longer fits your life—with peace, not guilt

    If you’ve been stuck staring at a pile of “this reminds me of…”—this episode will give you clarity, permission, and a clear plan forward.
