Be Uncluttered

Tara got curious about a term she heard recently - "FOPO", or "the fear of other people's opinions" so we thought we'd have a chat about it.

Maybe you might find yourself in this topic as much as Bec and Tara did!

Backsliding is a part of growth, and so you most definitely will backslide on your decluttering and simplifying journey.  It means that you go backwards a bit - forgetting a new habit, letting old behaviours slip back into your day, making mistakes and messing up.

In this episode we explore how backsliding works, and how to deal with it when it crops up (because it will!).
