Decluttering Sentimental Items (Summer Saturday Throwback)
from Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living · host Cloud10
Do you struggle to let go of sentimental items? In this episode, I share my experience with decluttering sentimental items after my mother passed away when I was 24 years old. You'll hear some perspective shifts that helped me not hold onto every little thing that reminded me of her. I dive into letting go of baby items for our kids, deciding what *is* special to keep, and a big question that I've learned to ask myself because of what happened one afternoon flipping through old yearbooks.
