Parenting, Party of One

Ep 12: It Was Never Just About the Stuff


Listen Later

What starts as a full closet … turns into a much bigger conversation.

In this episode, Sara shares how running out of physical space in her apartment led to a deeper realization about mental load, future plans, and what it really means to let go — especially as a solo parent.

From finances and logistics to sentimentality and identity, Sara walks through why she held onto so much of her son’s baby and toddler items — and what changed when she finally had to ask herself a hard question: Am I actually going to have another child?

If you’ve ever struggled to declutter, held onto something for a future you’re not sure about, or felt the unique pressure of making big life decisions on your own — this one will hit home.
