Let's face it: moving is stressful and challenging on many fronts - emotionally, physically, mentally, and financially. 

Yet, each year, tens of millions of people in the US relocate from their place of birth or current residence to another location within the same city, county, state, country, or abroad for many reasons.

(Read more at: https://www.mymovingreviews.com/move/how-often-and-why-americans-move/)

During these moves, we tend to accumulate belongings along the way, and the next thing we know, we have more stuff than we know what to do with.

In this episode, I chatted with Deanna Yates about this very topic and how minimalism has played a significant role in her life of relocating 16 times in the past 20 years.

She provided listeners with practical decluttering and downsizing advice for those who are ready to let go and who crave more space in their homes and lives.

I hope you enjoy and are helped by this conversation with Deanna.

Deanna Yates is the busy mama behind the top-ranking podcast, Wannabe Clutter Free, where she helps other busy families learn how to let go of the stuff holding them back so they can enjoy more time together, stop spending their weekends cleaning house, and wake up excited for the day ahead.

Deanna is mom to one daughter, wife to a startup entrepreneur, and is living her dream life in San Diego, CA. When she's not helping clients realize their dreams, you can find her on her Peloton, searching for the tastiest breakfast burrito, or balancing her love of a good Target run with living clutter-free in her own home.

Instead of a tangled, overwhelming hot mess of scattered analog and digital photos that leave you stressed, imagine having your most precious memories neatly organized and displayed.

You'd be able to enjoy those visual keepsakes while crafting the “best of the best” visual legacy that you and your children can easily access for years to come.

If this resonates with you, this episode could be the solution you needed yesterday.

I had the pleasure of chatting with Haleh Shoa, Founder and CEO of Picturli: a photo organization, curation, archiving, and design studio that helps families, individuals, and businesses transform their chaotic mess of photos into one clear and cohesive digital library. Haleh and her team meticulously organize their clients’ photo collections into a searchable, secure, and easily sharable photo archive. Haleh believes that family histories and personal memories are some of the most valuable treasures that exist and that preserving and sharing them is crucial for future generations.

She shared many great tips about photo organization from first steps to regularly cleaning up your camera roll for better-looking photos.

If you like taking notes while listening, here are the 7 steps to organize and archive your photos:

1. Decide on a goal

2. Gather your photos & other memories

3. Gather your tools

4. Sorting and Categorizing

5. Scan your photos

6. Proper storage solutions

7. Digital back-up
