  • 49. Downsizing Your Holiday Decorations: What to Keep and How to Let Go of the Rest
    Dec 24 2025

    Holiday decorations hold some of our most meaningful memories — and often take up far more space than we realize.

    In this Christmas Eve episode of Downsizing Roadmap, we talk about how to downsize your holiday decorations with intention, not guilt. From sentimental ornaments and inherited décor to bins that haven’t been opened in years, this conversation walks you through how to decide what’s worth keeping, what can be shared or donated, and how to let go of the rest without losing what makes the season special.

    In this episode, we cover:

    • Why holiday décor is one of the hardest categories to downsize
    • How to decide what to keep — and what no longer fits your life today
    • What to do with inherited and sentimental holiday items
    • Simple strategies to reduce storage and stress
    • How downsizing décor can create calmer holidays going forward

    🎄 Whether you’re listening on Christmas Eve or saving this for when you pack up your decorations, this episode offers practical tips, reassurance, and a calmer holiday next year.

    Dec 17 2025

    Divorce is one of the biggest life transitions you can experience—and your home is often at the center of it. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to downsize after divorce and how to make thoughtful housing and decluttering decisions during a season of major change.

    We cover the emotional weight of the marital home, the financial realities many people face after divorce, and how downsizing can become a powerful reset—not just a loss.

    • How to know when the house no longer fits your life
    • Why downsizing after divorce feels so emotionally heavy
    • How to approach sorting and letting go of shared belongings
    • Housing options that support independence and flexibility
    • How to create a home that reflects who you are now

  • 47. How to Downsize with Confidence Using the One-Week Rule
    Dec 10 2025

    If you had to move in one week, what would you take—and what would you leave behind?
    This simple question can change the way you downsize, declutter, and make decisions.

    In today’s episode, we’re introducing the One-Week Rule—a mindset tool that helps you get clarity fast. It’s not just a thought experiment. It’s a powerful downsizing filter that cuts through overwhelm and helps you feel more in control of your home and your next chapter.

    Whether you’re preparing to move soon or still in the early planning phase, this episode will help you:

    • Sort through emotional clutter with less stress
    • Decide what actually belongs in your next home (and what doesn’t)
    • Apply a room-by-room filter that brings clarity and momentum
    • Take action with one simple challenge you can start today

    You don’t need to wait for a move to downsize with intention. You just need the right mindset—and this episode will give it to you.
