    60 Minute Declutter Challenge Live Session Recording

    This was pre-recorded during a live declutter session on Clubhouse, so there may be a different format than podcast listeners are used to. There are frequent references to my declutter challenge that was being done at the time, so feel free to skip ahead if that does not interest you! This is a lot of my philosophy on how to declutter while letting emotions come up, combat shame or feelings of inadequacy, while embracing your unique life experience that may contribute to clutter or organization. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebigletgo/support (https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thebigletgo/support)
