Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the clutter in your life?
I recently had a moment like that when I realized I was only using 20% of my wardrobe. The other 80%—clothes that didn’t fit, things I was holding onto for “someday”—was just sitting there, causing visual and mental overwhelm.
That’s when it hit me: the things we hold onto, especially in our closets, can hold us back from achieving true success.
In this episode of Success Reimagined with Amna Shabbir, MD, I’m sharing my personal journey of decluttering and how redefining my relationship with stuff helped me clear both physical and emotional clutter. I’ll also explore Gretchen Rubin’s six types of clutter from The Happiness Project and how identifying these types can make letting go easier.
You’ll learn:
✅ The 6 types of clutter you are holding onto and why
✅ How to redefine success by curating a space that inspires calm, joy, and confidence
✅ How decluttering can create space for new mental clarity and personal growth
Imagine starting your day by walking into a closet that’s clutter-free, organized, and brings you joy. It’s not about perfectionism—it’s about creating an environment that supports your well-being and helps you succeed.
🏡✨ Whether you’re holding onto clothes that don’t fit or keeping things “just in case,” I’ll guide you through a simple, actionable process to declutter without feeling overwhelmed.
Let’s work together to let go of outdated versions of ourselves and make room for new opportunities.
