We live in a world obsessed with "unlimited"—unlimited streaming, unlimited plans, unlimited potential. But your closet, your calendar, and your emotional energy definitely have limits. In this episode, I share why accepting those limits isn't giving up—it's the key to less overwhelm and more peace. We'll talk about clutter, time, and control, and how working with reality instead of fighting it can make life feel lighter and more joyful.

Challenge: This week, choose a container in your life (a drawer, a room, a day of the week... your ability to control something outside of yourself) that has been feeling too full and try choosing to simply accept the limits of that space and see what happens. DM me on instagram @emilyrickscoaching and tell me about any discoveries you make!
