Ever feel like your stuff is running your life instead of the other way around? Like no matter how much you declutter, your home still feels overwhelming — and every “maybe someday” pile just keeps growing?
In this episode, I sit down with decluttering coach and creator of Downsize Upgrade, Abigail Roe, to talk about why letting go isn’t just about tough love or sentimentality — it’s about logic, systems, and learning to stop overthinking your stuff.
Abigail shares her refreshingly practical approach to simplifying, from her “Wheel of Decluttering” challenge to her F.I.V.E. method for curating clothes. She brings equal parts truth bombs and silly jingles (yes, really!) to make the process not only doable but fun.
Whether you’re drowning in clothes that don’t fit, sentimental keepsakes, or just way too many organizing containers — this conversation will leave you motivated, clear-headed, and ready to finally make space for joy and productivity.
✨ We talk about:
- Why “being sentimental” often masks a struggle to let go
- The F.I.V.E. method for deciding what clothes deserve space in your closet
- How curating as you go makes decluttering easier (and less emotional)
- The genius behind the Wheel of Decluttering — and why you’ll want to spin it
- How to stop impulse buying before it fills your home again
- Why joy plus productivity is the real secret to lasting change
