Clutter isn’t just about the stuff in our homes—it affects our stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being.

Plus, I’ve got a simple decluttering challenge for you to take action right away! If you’re ready to clear the clutter and create space for more happiness, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Clutter contributes to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Studies show a direct link between clutter and higher cortisol levels, especially in women. Emotional attachments to belongings can make it difficult to let go. Clutter impacts relationships and can create tension at home. The hidden costs of clutter extend beyond space—it affects productivity, decision-making, and mental clarity. Decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming; small, intentional steps can lead to lasting change. A simple decluttering challenge can help you take the first step toward a clutter-free and happier life. 00:00 Welcome to the Show 01:10 The Mental Load of Stuff 02:41 The Science of Clutter 07:56 Clutter and Relationships 10:26 Emotional Connection to Stuff 19:01 The Hidden Costs of Clutter 25:04 Take Action: Declutter Your Space 26:26 Join the Community and Stay Connected **************** Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com **************** Subscribe & Review Don't forget to subscribe to the show so you don't miss any tips for organizing, decluttering, and simplifying your home and life.
