    • Have you heard these myths about empty nest decluttering and transitioning to a new phase of life?

      Myth #1: You have to get rid of everything sentimental.

      Myth #2: You should declutter your entire home all at once.

      Myth #3: Transitioning to an empty nest means feeling lonely and lost.

      In this episode, our guest Jennifer Strohecker will debunk these myths and share the truth about decluttering and embracing a new phase of life as she has been through this life transition recently on her decluttering journey.

      In this episode, you will be able to:

      • Grasp the art of decluttering once the children leave the nest, transitioning towards a simpler lifestyle.
      • Learn compassionate strategies to help your elderly parents in their decluttering journey.
      • Uncover the concept of Swedish Death Cleaning to ease the process of parting ways with sentimental items.
      • Master the balance between practicality and sentimentality while organizing your house.
      • Realize the value of embracing imperfection and authenticity for a more fulfilling life.
      • My special guest today is Jennifer Strohecker:

        A former educator who took her talents for teaching and nurturing others from the classroom to the field of transformational coaching; Jennifer's journey of personal discovery led her to empowering women to redefine their lives post-retirement or once the children have flown the nest.

        She is a master of change, empowering women to live productive, joyful lives by giving them the tools to manage stress, shift their mindset, and create positive habits.
