Catching Up to FI
Inner clutter and achievement addiction
Rose introduces The Achievement Addict concept: compulsive achievement as emotional clutter needing continual practice.
Rose Lounsbury likes things simple. Her specialty is helping people embrace the art of decluttering and she joins us on the show today for a New Year's reset that goes way beyond junk drawers. Rose tells us how decluttering is really about creating space— for FI, for generosity, and for the surprising next chapter.

- How late starters can overcome the clutter trap that quietly devours time, money, and energy
