Summary:
Why is it hard to let go? Sometimes the stuff we hold onto, even the little things, become like old friends, reminding us of moments and stories we've lived. So, how do we actually go about getting rid of these things?
Today I spoke with Megan Golightly, the founder of Simplified, and she helped us answer these questions. As one of the most popular organizing and decluttering specialists in North America, Megan is best known for weaving her psychology background and interest in neuroscience into her passion for organization. She promotes the importance of mental health and positive change and partners with brands and publishers to create unique, authentic campaigns that reach thousands of people.
Life is easier when you have less. In this episode, Megan breaks down how we can gracefully let go of even those items we're strangely attached to, and embrace the lighter, clutter-free lifestyle through smart decluttering and organization. She also dives into strategies for sharing your decluttering journey with others and highlights how creating space in your surroundings can invite new people into your life.
