083: The Burden of Clutter Feb 27, 2024

Show notes

When your family needs to pack up and briefly move out of your home, it can be overwhelming, especially when it’s a forced reason and not a choice. An unexpected water issue recently forced our family to leave our home for a few weeks, and having fewer things eased the burden so much! It’s still a high-stress situation, but not having to deal with the added stress of all the excess stuff in our home.

In this episode, Diana shares a recent life update that was significantly less stressful because of her clutter-free lifestyle.
