Join Angela Brown and her special guest, Kathy McEwan, for an enlightening conversation about decluttering in your fifties. Kathy, a certified professional organizer and former owner of a successful home organizing company, offers valuable insights into why your fifties can be the ideal time to embark on a decluttering journey.

As empty nesters, this stage often marks the beginning of downsizing and simplifying your life. Kathy emphasizes the importance of starting early, and avoiding last-minute stress when moving or transitioning to a smaller space. She shares practical tips on gradually sorting through your belongings, letting go of items you no longer need, and embracing the concept of "less is more."

The discussion also touches on the emotional and physical changes that come with aging, which can impact your priorities and energy levels. Kathy and Angela highlight the significance of decluttering before relocating to save time, money, and the hassle of unnecessary moving expenses.
