If you’ve ever opened a memory bin and instantly felt overwhelmed, sentimental, or just plain stuck — this episode is for you. Whether you're drowning in childhood keepsakes, struggling with guilt over what to let go of, or wondering why your clutter feels so emotional, you are not alone.

In this episode, I open up about how our childhood experiences — from chaotic homes to hyper-clean parents — shape the way we hold onto stuff as adults. We dig into the emotional weight of sentimental clutter, the psychology behind why it's so hard to let go, and how to finally break the cycle with grace and self-awareness.

This isn't just a chat about organizing — it's a journey into the roots of our clutter, the beliefs we inherited from our parents, and the systems we need to build a home (and life) that works for us now. Plus, I share powerful mindset shifts, simple systems for organizing memories, and a few hilarious listener stories that will make you laugh and cringe.
