S1E11: Declutter Your Life

In Episode 11, we discuss the importance of decluttering: physically, digitally, and mentally. We acknowledge that the more we remove what doesn’t serve us, the more space we create for what does. This podcast is for you if you believe that: • Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must. • Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit! • It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!” • There’s more than enough for everyone. • Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process. • People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in. The top three takeaways from this episode are: Simplify to amplify. Get rid of clutter to amplify what you need. Decluttering is an on-going, iterative process. Ask yourself: does this item serve my current goals? In addition to physical items, it’s important to declutter digitally and mentally as well.
