Whether overt or perceived, guilt is a major reason why we hold onto what we don’t need. And family guilt is particularly tricky, because relationships are involved which (as we know) can be very complex. We have to tread lightly while still holding our boundaries around what comes across the threshold of our front door.
In today’s episode I’m going to give you three tips on how to deal with the guilt you may feel, so that you stop saying yes to stuff you don’t want or need out of guilt, and can let go of what you may already have in your home that isn’t serving you or your family.

Today I’m thrilled to bring you my first interview on the podcast. Once a month I will introduce you to a mom who has overcome overwhelm through decluttering and simplifying. Today I chat with Sarah from Simple + Intentional. Sarah is a full-time teacher, mom + wife who is passionate about helping women change their lives through decluttering.
After a cancer diagnosis in 2014, she discovered her perfectionism + people pleasing were holding her back + creating a lot of overwhelm. This was also the year she first discovered minimalism and slowly started getting rid of things.
Fast forward to 2018 and becoming a mom. The overwhelm forced Sarah to start examining her relationship with stuff and the big purge began. And she hasn't looked back!
Now Sarah helps other moms deal with their clutter, get organized and create systems + routines to make life easier.
You can find her on Instagram, her website or in the simple + intentional Facebook community

Sentimental items. They are the things we keep because they have meaning to us. They are imbued with memories. Or perhaps they don’t mean a lot to us, but they belonged to a family member and remind us of that person.
Of course we should surround ourselves with things that have meaning to us, but when sentimental items become clutter because of how much we’re keeping (and where we’re keeping it- typically in dusty boxes), we need to really evaluate what we have any why.
Today we chat about 3 mindset hacks that will help make decluttering sentimental items easier. If you need help with yours, make sure to join us in our free Facebook group! We are doing a 30-day decluttering challenge to help you declutter before the end of 2022.
GIVEAWAY! Leave a written review on Apple Podcasts between now and November 30 at 11:59 PM EST to be entered into a drawing for a free decluttering book of your choice! Just take a screen shot and send it to me via Instagram or Facebook to be entered!
