Releasing Emotional Clutter
Hey Collectors! In our last episode, we talked about the practical side of decluttering — having a plan, knowing where things go, and making space in your schedule. But today, we’re going deeper. Because sometimes, the hardest clutter to clear out... isn’t physical. It’s emotional. Are you keeping items out of guilt, obligation, or fear? If you’ve ever held onto something because it reminds you of someone, or because you might need it "someday," or because it cost you a lot of money — this episode is for you. Until next time, Rachel xoxo
