Do you ever feel like you're drowning in stuff... but you still don’t know how to let it go?
In this episode, I sit down with the lovely Julia Ubbenga from Rich In What Matters — a minimalist mama of five who transformed her entire life by decluttering not just her home, but her heart, soul, and mind.
We dive deep into why we hold onto clutter, how consumerism traps us emotionally, and what it really means to live an intentional, clutter-free life. Julia’s story is powerful — from $40K in debt and postpartum depression to building a simpler, calmer, more joyful life (with five kids, no less!).
If you’ve ever held onto something out of guilt, or felt like your stuff is managing you, this episode will hit home.
✨ We chat about:
- The emotional side of decluttering
- Breaking the “stuff = love” mindset
- Why you’re not failing — you’re just overwhelmed
- Simple mindset shifts to stop the buying cycle
- Decluttering as self-worth and self-care
- How to get started when it all feels like too much
