152: Enjoy the Freedom of a DeCluttered Life! with Tracy McCubbin

"'I'm all about celebrating the meaning of things, but not having it bog us down." -Tracy McCubbin   Growing up as the child of an extreme hoarder, Tracy McCubbin developed a deep understanding of how some people struggle in their relationships with their stuff. The thought of parting with their possessions presents a certain degree of grief while resulting in unmanageable clutter which affects their daily routine and lifestyle. For 14 years, Tracy has already helped thousands to declutter and regain their freedom through her company, dClutterFly. In this episode, Tracy shares what clutter is, how to identify if we're already falling into the clutter trap, how clutter blocks prevent us from letting go, how to declutter after a loved one dies, and how to find joy while decluttering. It's truly hard to let go of things that have meaning to us. But if our stuff starts to own us, we may be paying much more than we should. Other things also deserve our time, energy, and affection such as being with our loved ones and making time for ourselves.  Tune in as Tracy talks about the emotional part of clutter, and how it relates to stress, anxiety, and decision fatigue.  Connect with Ted:  Website Facebook  Twitter Instagram     LinkedIn YouTube Highlights:  01:06 America's Top DeCluttering Company 03:25 What is Clutter?  06:36 Benefits of DeCluttering 14:43 How to DeClutter 19:20 How to Test for Market Viability 23:28 DeCluttering After a Loved One Passed Away 26:33 Freedom!
