Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff: PBS' Downsizing Expert's Advice


Listen Later

Aging gracefully means navigating through years of accumulated possessions and deciding what truly matters. But this process can feel completely unmanageable and emotionally overwhelming—deciding what to do with a lifetime of possessions can definitely be complicated.

On this episode, we’re joined by Matt Paxton, who you may have seen on the fascinating show Hoarders. He is a decluttering expert, author, and host of Legacy List. In our conversation today, we dive into the emotional and practical aspects of downsizing. Matt shares insights from his latest book, "Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff," guiding listeners through a transformative process that honors their past while making room for the future.
