If you've ever stood in a cluttered room thinking, "But what if I need this later?"—this episode is for you.
In this short and powerful story, I'm sharing what happened when my son Levi, a lifelong Lego lover, walked into the room and said something I never thought I'd hear:
"Mom, I don't need my Legos anymore."
What?! My jaw dropped.
But here's the beautiful part—he didn't let go because I nagged or convinced him. He let go because he saw them differently. And that's exactly what we're unpacking in this episode.
Whether it's Legos, clothes, mugs, or treadmills, we all have stuff that once felt meaningful… until it didn't. Letting go becomes easy when you understand the 3 quiet shifts that lead to readiness.
Why readiness to declutter isn't about willpower—it's about perspective
The 3 subtle mindset shifts that make it easier to let go (space, value, impact)
