Angie and Shelly are digging deep into the messy corners of life—literally. This episode unpacks why we hang onto stuff we don’t use, how scarcity and abundance shape our shopping habits, and why decluttering is about way more than organizing your house. From pineapple slicers and multiple Instapots to crockpot collections that deserve their own zip code, the conversation is funny, honest, and surprisingly freeing.

🍍 The Pineapple Slicer Problem – Why owning two doesn’t make sense (and why we keep them anyway)

🥘 Crockpot Confessions – Do you really need five? Asking for a friend

🧠 Scarcity vs. Abundance – How growing up broke or living in survival mode impacts the way we spend and keep things now

📦 The Emotional Weight of Stuff – Why decision-making about old boxes feels exhausting and sometimes heartbreaking

📅 Decluttering Beyond the Closet – Cleaning up your schedule, your subscriptions, and your mental bandwidth

💡 Practical Decluttering Tips – How to purge without burnout, set limits, and actually make it stick

😂 Low-Grade Hoarding Humor – Because if you can’t laugh about your “Monica closet,” you’ll cry
