What Are You Really Holding On To? (It's Not Just Stuff)

What if the most important clutter you need to clear isn't in your closet? In this episode, Judy, Nerina, and Tasha take an honest look at everything we hold on to: the clothes that fit who we used to be, the grudges we said we forgave, old beliefs about people that quietly shape our choices, and the grief we carry when a beloved season of life comes to an end. Inspired by their visit to Michelle Passoff's Decluttering 55+ podcast, this conversation goes far beyond the junk drawer and asks the harder question: what does letting go actually look like?What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy Judy has five sizes of clothing in her house and is not sorry about itWhat Tasha would save from a house fire (a 45-gallon tote of memories, obviously)Nerina's hanger rule and what it teaches us about intentional livingThe difference between "clean clutter" and "dirty clutter"How old beliefs about people become emotional clutter over timeThe grief that comes when a tradition or season of life endsWhether minimalism is really the goal or just the beginning of a deeper questionA gentle challenge to declutter something beyond the physical this weekMost Powerful MomentJudy shares how a broken hip meant spending Christmas in a rehabilitation center.
