Clutter isn’t just about the stuff in our homes—it affects our stress levels, relationships, and overall well-being. Research from UCLA’s Center on Everyday Lives and Families shows that excess belongings can lead to increased cortisol levels, especially in women, making it harder to relax and feel at peace.I’ll also share personal insights on how our deep emotional ties to "things" can keep us stuck, along with practical steps to break free from the overwhelm. Plus, I’ve got a simple decluttering challenge for you to take action right away! If you’re ready to clear the clutter and create space for more happiness, this episode is for you.Key Takeaways: Clutter contributes to stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Studies show a direct link between clutter and higher cortisol levels, especially in women. Emotional attachments to belongings can make it difficult to let go. Clutter impacts relationships and can create tension at home. The hidden costs of clutter extend beyond space—it affects productivity, decision-making, and mental clarity. Decluttering doesn’t have to be overwhelming; small, intentional steps can lead to lasting change. A simple decluttering challenge can help you take the first step toward a clutter-free and happier life. 00:00 Welcome to the Show01:10 The Mental Load of Stuff02:41 The Science of Clutter07:56 Clutter and Relationships10:26 Emotional Connection to Stuff19:01 The Hidden Costs of Clutter25:04 Take Action: Declutter Your Space26:26 Join the Community and Stay Connected****************Music: Fresh Lift by Shane Ivers - https://www.silvermansound.com****************Subscribe & ReviewDon't forget to subscribe to the show so you don't miss any tips for organizing, decluttering, and simplifying your home and life.And if you enjoyed today’s episode, please consider leaving a rating and review on Apple, Spotify, Goodpods, or YouTube.
