S1E11: Declutter Your Life

Listen Later

In Episode 11, we discuss the importance of decluttering: physically, digitally, and mentally. We acknowledge that the more we remove what doesn’t serve us, the more space we create for what does.

This podcast is for you if you believe that:

• Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.

• Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!

• It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”

• There’s more than enough for everyone.

• Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and

trust the process.

• People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.


The top three takeaways from this episode are:

  • Simplify to amplify. Get rid of clutter to amplify what you need.
    • Decluttering is an on-going, iterative process. Ask yourself: does this item serve my current goals?
      • In addition to physical items, it’s important to declutter digitally and mentally as well.
