Letting Go of Someday Stuff: Overcoming Emotional Clutter | Ep 438


Listen Later

Hey friends!

In this week’s episode, I’m diving into something we all struggle with—someday stuff. You know… the juicer you might use when you start eating healthier, or the crafting supplies you swore you'd use when you had more time. These items might seem harmless, but they often come with a lot of emotional weight—guilt, fear, nostalgia—you name it.

I also share an inside peek at our Clutter Clinic live workshop series (so excited about this!) and how we’re helping people tackle not just the physical clutter, but the emotional clutter too. We’re talking decision fatigue, scarcity mindset, identity clutter—all the behind-the-scenes stuff that makes it so hard to let go.Whether you're sorting through your own “someday” piles or helping clients as a professional organizer, this episode is full of practical tips and real talk to help you move forward with intention. I walk you through:
  • Why “someday stuff” is so common (and sneaky!)

  • How to identify the emotional triggers behind your clutter

  • My go-to 4-pile method for simplifying decisions

  • Questions to ask when you're stuck in the “what if” loop

  • Special insights for pros in the organizing space

Plus, I give a little teaser about a new podcast series I’m working on just for my fellow organizing professionals. I can’t wait to share more soon!Thanks for hanging out with me today—and remember, progress, not perfection

💛XO,
Laurie
