110. Decluttering Tips for Busy Moms: Breaking Through Emotional Attachments & Overwhelm with Courtney

Ever look around your home and feel instantly overwhelmed by all the STUFF? You're not alone! In this enlightening episode, I chat with decluttering coach and military wife Courtney from @declutteredanddwell about why letting go of items feels so emotionally heavy - and how to break free from the cycle of clutter that's keeping you stuck in overwhelm.

If you've ever:

• Set "declutter the house" as a goal but never started because it feels too overwhelming
• Felt guilty about getting rid of gifts or sentimental items
• Struggled to define what "enough" looks like for your family (or never thought about it and keep impulse shopping!)
• Found yourself organizing the same piles over and over

...then this episode is your permission slip to start small and create the peaceful home environment you deserve.
