Did you know that Swedish death cleaning can lighten your home now and make things easier for your loved ones later?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about Swedish death cleaning, a Swedish cultural practice and a practical way to declutter with a bigger purpose in mind. It’s about reducing what you own so your home feels lighter today, and so your family isn’t left with the emotional and logistical burden of sorting through everything later.

To explore it, Kelly is joined by decluttering coach and organizing expert Emily McDermott, host of the Moms Overcoming Overwhelm podcast. Emily helps people reduce overwhelm through simple organizing systems, and she’s practiced Swedish death cleaning firsthand.

Emily shares how she did her own Swedish death cleaning at age 39, why she started, what it looked like, and how it still shapes the way she lives.

If you’ve ever thought, “I don’t want my home to feel like a constant to do list,” or “I don’t want to leave my family a mess to deal with one day,” this episode is for you.

Be inspired to simplify in a way that feels meaningful and freeing now and deeply considerate of the people you love.
