Sentimental clutter lives in the past; keeping it around often prevents full presence in the here + now.
Conversely, removing what’s unnecessary ushers in freedom. It presents opportunities for personal growth, too.
My guest this week is Erin Beckman. Erin is a single mother + widow who faced her attic full of  nostalgic items head-on + found herself in the process.
Erin describes the process of sifting through her deceased husband’s items as a transformative one. That’s because facing those tough emotions – instead of working so hard to avoid them – cleared the way for healing.
On today’s show, Erin describes how she knew the time was right to face her sentimental clutter. She lays out how she did it + why you, too, should usher in fresh energy in the form of tidied simplicity, too.
Enjoy!
