284: Stuff and Identity The Hidden Layers of Clutter

Ever feel like clutter is more than just the stuff piling up on your counters or that chair in your room (you know the one)? That’s because it is. Clutter isn’t just physical—it’s emotional, and often, it’s tied to the identity we’re striving for or the insecurities we’re trying to fix.

In this episode, we’re peeling back the layers of clutter to reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface. Here’s what we’re diving into:

• How clutter is connected to your identity and self-worth
• The emotional weight of items you hold onto (like that stack of unread books)
• Why letting go can feel so hard—and what to do about it
• Practical strategies to break free from the cycle

I’ll also share Crissy’s powerful story of her book collection and how it became a symbol of unmet expectations—and how she’s starting to let go with grace.

If you’re ready to stop decluttering the same spaces over and over again and finally get to the root of your clutter, this episode is for you.
