This episode with Erin Stoll @stylethieffashion was so incredible and chock full of gems I made it into a two parter!! Today is part one- today we discuss the intersection of home and clothing, honoring who we really are and keeping only what truly works for us in this season and empowering tools to feel good in the body we are in NOW.

Joining me today is the wonderful and warm Shannon Leyko of The Paring Down Podcast and @paringdownpodcast on Instagram!

We cover a lot of ground- from clutter, clothing and identity to one of the best doing laundry with kids tips I've ever heard!

We discussed our experiences with decluttering and the positive impact it has had on our lives. The struggles with letting go of clothes that no longer fit current lifestyles or body size, and the emotional attachment to clothes from different seasons of life. Shannon also shared her personal experiences with depression, and how decluttering helped her cope during a very difficult season. We also chatted about the importance of maintaining a simplified and organized home environment as a form of self-care, and the potential fun and enjoyment that can come from decluttering and organizing.

Such a great conversation with so many good takeaways!

These are 2 of my favorite decluttering questions to help clarify what you truly love and truly don't- what to keep and what to let go of.

We'll start with a: 

(1) Mock moving decluttering mindset and then a

(2) Clarifying closet question

Can't wait to hear your thoughts!
