Clutter is fraught with emotions - especially guilt - which makes it incredibly difficult to let things go. Combined with aspirations of who we “could” be if we only had the time and energy, it’s a wonder we can get rid of anything.

In my interview on the No Guilt Mom podcast, host JoAnn Crohn and I chat about:

• Why we have so much more stuff than previous generations — and why it just keeps coming
• The real reason decluttering gets put off again and again (hint: it's not that you don't care)
• How to handle the guilt of getting rid of a gift — especially when the gift-giver asks where it went

…and much more.
