You lucky ducks get to hear from Jen Smith of the highly popular Frugal Friends podcast! In this episode of Paring Down, she teaches us all about values-based spending so that you can Buy What You Love Without Going Broke - which also happens to be the name of her book coming out in January (alongside cohost and coauthor Jill Sirianni).
How we spend our money is often directly related to the clutter in our homes and schedules, so you don't want to miss this motivating conversation that underscores my favorite theme that threads together every episode: Intentional living.

Lala Hairston lives in the Tampa Bay area, which was ravaged by both Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. She shares her powerful story of coming to terms with the possibility of losing everything she owns, and how that gave her new perspective on living a more decluttered life. She also shares valuable and vulnerable outlooks on the meaning of "stuff" from lessons in her childhood, starting at age 6 when she and her mom arrived in the United States with only 4 suitcases.

Have you ever considered how your home either helps you or hinders you when it comes to your goals?
Is it helping you be the kind of parent you want to be, or making it harder?
Is it helping you have a stronger marriage, or distracting you from your partner?
Clutter can affect us in ways we may not even realize. So can our routines and boundaries.
In this episode, author Laura Forbes Carlin shares her insight on this ripple effect of clutter, and offers different concepts that can help us figure out how to choose what stays and what goes (like “everything is alive”). She also shares a framework for deciding when and how to include your kids in the decluttering process.

Somehow, inanimate objects seem to grow legs and find their way back into our homes and onto our counters. Decluttering can feel like fighting a losing battle-- barely scooping the water out of the boat before it comes rushing back in.
This episode covers 5 reasons clutter might keep coming back in your home, and ways to make sure you can finally keep it out for good.

Who better to help us understand how clutter affects us from a holistic perspective than public health expert, Jenny Albertini?
Jenny uses easy to recognize categories (health, home and work/beyond), but pulls in the underpinning issues (structural inequities, brain based conditions, consumer culture) to help anyone looking to live a healthier, less overwhelmed life.
Her experience being trained under Marie Kondo herself and spending thousands of hours helping clients organize their homes gives her a tremendous amount of insight and perspective to complement her background in public health.
How does clutter affect our relationships? Our culture? Our health? And what about the other way around...how do all of those things affect our clutter?
This conversation will make you feel validated in your struggle with clutter and consumerism, but inspired and challenged at the same time.

"What if they ask me where it is??" "I feel ungrateful." "They expect to see it displayed."
These are just a few of the hard issues we dive into on today's episode, because we're talking about parting with items that were gifted to us.
Decluttering gifts can be really tricky, primarily because of two emotions:
Guilt - an internal experience as we wrestle with our core values (gratitude, kindness, etc.).
Fear - which is formed from the external pressure we feel from another person to keep the gift...and our discomfort around their potential reaction if we don't.
Today's episode is NOT an easy or straightforward topic, but I hope you find the strategies and mindsets I share useful as you declutter your home to experience a less stressful, more functional environment...all while navigating the tricky waters of relationships and personal dissonance.

There are two major pieces to living a decluttered life:
1) What we get OUT
2) What we let IN
On today's episode with Brad Nelson from Debt Free Dad, we talk about how to make smart choices with our money that not only decrease financial stress, but help us stay mindful about what we let IN during our decluttering journey.
Brad also shares ways we can make money while decluttering as a tool for getting out of debt or creating a rainy day savings account.
