So, here’s a thought: how do we navigate our relationship with all the stuff we’ve got lying around?

Today I will share my thoughts about just that! The episode is packed with nostalgia as I reflect on cherished items that tell stories. I mean, who doesn’t have a favorite childhood book or a stuffed animal they can't forget?

But as we get older, we find ourselves surrounded by more objects than we need. It can feel overwhelming, right? It’s like having a mini museum of our lives. We even ponder what our kids will want when we’re gone. It’s a delicate dance of holding on and letting go.

Throughout this episode, I emphasize that it’s not about the things but about the connections they represent. Let’s face it, those memories and feelings are what really last.

Join me as I navigate this sentimental landscape and give you some ideas about what’s worth keeping and what’s just taking up space!
