If you’ve ever found yourself overwhelmed by clutter and tried to fix it with more storage bins, baskets, and closets, this episode is for you. We’re diving deep into why the solution isn’t more stuff tucked away neatly—it’s about letting go of what no longer serves you. Less stuff equals more peace, and I’m here to show you how to start embracing that freedom.
