Have you ever wondered why you keep bringing things into your home but struggle to let them go? In this episode, we explore the connection between good girl conditioning and the clutter that takes over our spaces.

Dorota Kuldo shares her journey from working 15 hours a day and living in an overwhelming mess to decluttering 70% of her belongings in six months. We talk about how saying yes to everyone else means saying no to yourself, why retail therapy becomes a coping mechanism, and how your nervous system might be the real reason you can't stick to your decluttering goals. Dorota explains the relationship between people pleasing and clutter accumulation, the importance of building self trust through small actions, and why starting with trash is the safest way to begin. We also discuss how feeling like you don't have time often means you don't feel safe to try because past attempts haven't worked.

Listen to this episode to learn practical strategies for decluttering that work with your nervous system instead of against it, and discover how letting go of stuff can help you set better boundaries in all areas of your life.

BEST MOMENTS:

"If you say yes to everything, it means that you say no to yourself, right? And if you drain yourself to the point of exhaustion, where you give yourself away to everything and everyone around you, then you come back home and the last thing that you want to do is now take care of your space because you exhausted, you have right to rest."

"Clutter is just a symptom, is a mirror of our behaviors, our how we cope with triggers."

"We expect so much from ourselves. Good girls expect way too much from our, from themselves. And bring the bar all the way to the bottom, all the way. And start trusting yourself. Build that trust. It's like exercise."

"Our nervous system cannot tell the difference between a perceived danger and actual danger."
