• 295: The Stuff You Keep for Someday And Why Its Holding You Back

  Ever Open Your Closet and Feel Defeated? You’re Not Alone. We’ve all been there. You catch a glimpse of that pair of jeans you swore you’d fit into again, or the untouched art supplies that were going to make you the next Picasso. But instead of feeling motivated, you feel a little stuck—maybe even guilty. If that sounds familiar, then, friend, this episode is for you. Today, we’re talking about aspirational clutter—the stuff we hold onto because it represents who we hoped we’d become. The fancy cookware for the gourmet chef phase that never happened. The fitness gear collecting dust in the corner. The books you swore you’d read but haven’t cracked open. And the hard truth? Keeping these items doesn’t inspire us. It keeps us stuck. So, in this episode, we’re unpacking: Why aspirational clutter is so tough to let go of The sneaky ways it keeps you from moving forward How to release it without guilt (for real this time!) And don’t worry—letting go isn’t about giving up on your dreams. It’s about making space for who you are right now. Because, friend, you are worthy and enough in this very moment—no extra supplies required. Listener Challenge: Take Back Your Space! Find one item of aspirational clutter in your home. Ask yourself: 👉 Does this fit my current season of life? 👉 Do I feel inspired or guilty when I see it? If it no longer serves you, let it go. And if you do?
