204. Getting Rid of Stuff (Without Shame or Guilt)


Listen Later

Do you have boxes of stuff in your home that don’t even belong to you… but you still feel responsible for? Do you feel overwhelmed just thinking about where to start — so you don’t start at all?

If the answer is yes, this episode is for you.

Whether it’s fabric you’ve been “saving for later,” photos from your dad’s amateur photography hobby, your great Aunt Sue’s china, or bins of your adult kids’ belongings, the emotional weight of stuff is real. And it’s often tied to self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, and grief.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why letting go of physical clutter is also about letting go of emotional weight

  • How cultural and family identity can keep us stuck in our stuff

  • The most powerful question to ask when you feel stuck: “What would be delightful?”

  • Why generic decluttering systems don’t work for everyone — and how to create your own

Plus, hear a touching member win about a woman in her 70s who finally stopped the pattern of emotional eating (starting with just one lonely cookie 🍪) — and how her mindset shift changed everything.

This is not just about getting organized. It’s about creating peace in your space — and in your mind.

🧠 Mentioned in this episode:

  • Quiz: What Kind of Perfectionist Are You

🎧 Listen now and take the first step toward a more open, peaceful, and delightful life.
