    There are a lot of different intensities to grief, so here is the definition real quick: a deep sorrow, or less intense; trouble or annoyance.

    Ways you might not know you are grieving as you declutter:

    1. Closing a chapter of your life (baby stages, relationships ending, career, old life, old body)
    2. When moving, a deep loss of more than just stuff. The walls of your home, your community, comfort zone, familiarity, scenery.
    3. Fear of losing memories, security, people.
    4. A childhood wound trigger - financial history, home life, insecurity, memories.

    5. Acknowledge your grief. The intensity can stop you in your tracks, but that doesn't stop the grief. The season of life is still over, the relationships, you are still moving. Acknowledge it, articulate it (with a friend or therapist, or FB group).

      Then, find the things you are looking forward to next. This isn't fake it til you make it. This is sitting with the shit and then getting yourself out of it. Because the other choice is to just sit there indefinitely.

    7. The sustainable minimalists

      Living as a sustainable minimalist can feel challenging, especially as a busy mom surrounded by kids’ needs, toys, and all the responsibilities of running a household. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Stephanie, the host of the Sustainable Minimalists podcast, to discuss practical ways to make eco-friendly, low-waste choices as moms. We touched on generational clutter, conscious consumerism, and baby steps to living a more sustainable lifestyle. Here’s everything we learned.

      Sustainable minimalism is a journey, not a destination. It’s about making small, meaningful changes that align with your values and the season of life you’re in. Whether you’re setting boundaries with generational clutter, learning new eco-friendly habits, or finding reusable alternatives for everyday items, every step counts.

      Remember, sustainable minimalist living isn’t about doing everything perfectly. It’s about making mindful choices that create a positive impact on your life, your home, and the environment. If you’re looking to dive deeper, Stephanie’s Sustainable Minimalists podcast offers practical advice and inspiration to help you continue on your journey.
