Episode 50: Decluttering your Life (Inside and Out)

What this episode covers

In this grounding and reflective episode, we explore the many forms of clutter that accumulate in our lives, from physical belongings to digital noise to emotional baggage. Fresh off Lili's recent move to a new apartment in Colorado, we discuss how the process of letting go creates space for new energy, clarity, and intentional living.  We share personal stories about decluttering our homes, setting boundaries with technology and news consumption, and learning to discern what truly serves them. Whether it's Marie Kondo-ing your closet or taking a digital detox, this episode is a gentle reminder that clearing clutter, in all its forms, is an act of self-care and spiritual hygiene.
