Hi Friends!  In this episode I talk about a client who I worked with who let go of a lifetime of memories and did NOT regret it.  The biggest take away from this episode is that it is normal to feel sad when letting go of items that were meaningful, but you still won't regret it.  It's okay to feel the sadness because it's a loss.  But when you open up your space you allow yourself to grow, and th...

Hi Guys!  In this episode I talk about how women are conditioned to give their power away.  We do it all the time - we don't mean to - but it is ingrained in us.  We are taught to be nice, and pretty, and quiet... not to be powerful.  I'm hoping that this episode will give some awareness  of this tendency and help you (and me) remember how powerful we are. PS:  Also, you don't need to declutter ph...
