Send us Fan MailOn this episode we hear from Susie Dash of the Brisbane-based company, Task Tamers.  We spend the first part of our adulthood working hard to accumulate things. Things we need, things we like just because, things that appeal to the collector in us, sentimental things passed from ancestors, gifts that we get given along the journey of life. Lots of things that can hold lots of meaning, or some things that are simply there around us and have no meaning or use at all. And they've blended into the background, so much so that we haven't even noticed them sitting in our house for the past five, 10, 15 years...And then for many of us, comes a time when we have to move out of our home and downsize. We have to stand back and look at our things and work out, "What shall I keep? What shall I shift out of my life and onto someone else who might be able to make more use of it?About the Guest:Susie Dash is the Owner and Managing Director of Task Tamers, a leading downsizing and relocation service dedicated to helping clients navigate one of life’s biggest transitions.
