The Declutter Hub Podcast

In this episode, we dive into Swedish Death Cleaning. Despite its dramatic name, it’s a gentle, reflective approach to decluttering that helps reduce the burden on loved ones after we’re gone. We also touch on finding your own rhythm with decluttering methods—from the KonMari method to our own to Reset Your Home System—and the power of community in helping you succeed. Ultimately, Swedish Death Cleaning teaches us to lighten the load for others—but the real transformation happens when we lighten it for ourselves.
