111: The "But I Love Everything!" Decluttering Dilemma
View Transcript
Episode Description
If you love your belongings but feel overwhelmed by the piles, the mess, or the jam-packed closets, this episode is for you. Today, we’re breaking down 6 compassionate, practical strategies to help you simplify — without forcing yourself to stop loving your things.
This isn’t about minimalism for minimalism’s sake. It’s about creating breathing room in your home so you can actually enjoy the things you love.
In this episode, we cover:
• Redefining What “Love” Really Means
• The “Love It or Use It” Method
• Benefits of a Temporary Separation Box
And more.
The big takeaway: Loving your things isn’t the issue. The issue is when your stuff takes up the space meant for living.
