Facing downsizing disagreements? Downsizing is never just about the stuff—it’s about timing, emotions, identity, and often... compromise. And when you’re not on the same page with your spouse or partner? The whole process can feel even more overwhelming. Listen now to find out how you can find common ground as a couple.
In this episode, we’re digging into one of the most common downsizing roadblocks: what to do when one person is ready to start letting go, and the other is dragging their feet—or holding on tightly.
Whether you’re feeling eager and motivated or hesitant and emotional (or maybe both at the same time), we’re giving you tools to make progress together, not in conflict.
You’ll learn:
- Why couples so often misalign on the downsizing timeline
- Simple, non-confrontational conversation starters to get the topic on the table
- How to divide the work fairly, even if one of you is doing more heavy lifting
- Strategies to reduce tension when you disagree on what to keep
- What to do when a health or mobility issue forces a faster timeline
- Small but powerful ways to celebrate progress as a team
We’re also introducing our Couples Communication Worksheet—a free tool designed to help you reflect individually and reconnect before you begin downsizing together. It's a great first step if one of you feels stuck or unsure where to begin.
