Does getting rid of something a loved one gave you feel like betrayal—even if you’ve never used it once?

If your basement, storage bins, or drawers are filled with sentimental items that bring guilt instead of joy, you’re not alone. This episode breaks down why emotional attachment to “stuff” creates mental clutter, and how outdated beliefs keep overwhelmed working women stuck in cycles of stress.

In this episode, you will:

• Learn the 3 sneaky, guilt-ridden “rules” we all follow about sentimental clutter—and how to rewrite them.
• Discover how to separate memories from material items, and what that shift can do for your peace of mind.
• Hear real-life examples (including what I did with 12 dining chairs that do not match my house at all) to help you reframe, repurpose, or release items—without regret.

If you're ready to clear space in your home and your mind, press play to learn the simple, soul-soothing rules for letting go of sentimental clutter today.
