529 Why Creating Space Matters with Ingrid Pope

from Focus on WHY Hosted by Amy Rowlinson

How much clutter is holding you back? Ingrid Pope takes decluttering far beyond the messy spare room—into our overloaded minds, tangled emotions and the choices that shape our lives. Reflecting on her journey from corporate life and approaching burnout to coaching and writing, Ingrid shares how questioning the 'ant hill' of busy work led her to create more space, intention and choice. Through personal stories and client experiences, she explores how awareness, emotional insight and deliberate decisions can transform how we think, work and live. Tune in to discover why creating space matters. KEY TAKEAWAY "Be choiceful. Whatever it is that you choose, choose it. Go through life with intention."
