In this episode, we turn our attention to the often-overlooked emotional experience of helping someone else declutter, downsize, or organize. Whether you're supporting a parent, a partner, or a friend, this type of work—while full of love—can also be incredibly isolating. We're diving into why it feels so heavy, what resources are available, and how to care for yourself as you care for others. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed or alone in this role, this episode is a reminder that you're not the only one navigating it and you don’t have to do it without support.

• Why supporting someone else's decluttering process can feel emotionally isolating
• The difference between organizing for yourself and organizing with/for someone else
• Resources and strategies that can lighten the emotional and practical load
