Clearing Space- Navigating Clutter & Having the Conversation with Aging Parents

Lisa and Sara sit down with their friend Todd Emrick of Clutter Cleaner to talk about something many adult children quietly struggle with—clutter and what it can reveal about an aging parent’s living situation. Together, they discuss how to recognize the signs that it may be time for a change, why clutter is often about more than “stuff,” and how to approach these conversations with empathy and respect. Todd shares practical insights on cleaning up, being intentional with a plan, and helping parents take steps that support safety, independence, and peace of mind. This episode offers thoughtful guidance for adult children navigating these delicate—but necessary—conversations.
