The Meaningful Home

from The Art of Decluttering

You’re often told that less clutter equals more calm—but what if that’s not actually true?In this conversation, you’re invited to rethink everything you’ve believed about clutter, home, and wellbeing. Drawing on research with over 1,100 participants, you discover that it’s not the amount of stuff in your home that impacts how you feel… it’s your relationship with it.You’ll explore the idea of your home as an “extended self”—how your belongings aren’t just things, but reflections of your identity, your story, and what matters most to you. And when those items stop aligning with who you are, they can begin to work against your wellbeing rather than support it.You’ll also be introduced to the concept of a “psychological home”—the feeling of being at home in your space, regardless of how tidy or cluttered it may look from the outside. This is where real change happens.As you listen, you’ll begin to see that decluttering isn’t just about getting rid of things. It’s about curating a space that reflects who you are now—not who you used to be.And perhaps most freeing of all: you don’t need a perfectly organised home to feel better. You just need a space that feels like you.Articles mentionedHome and the Extended SelfYou may also like to listen to these episodes:Minimalism, Wellbeing and the EnvironmentReducing VolumeJoin my communityLeave a 5 Star Google ReviewFollow me on InstagramFollow me on FacebookJoin my Facebook groupThank you to my sound engineer, Jarred from Four4ty Studio Hosted on Acast.
