I recently joined the Wannabe Clutter Free podcast for a very personal conversation.
After losing both of my in-laws within two and a half months of each other, I reflected on what we had learned helping them downsize years before.
Because they had already gone from 3,400 square feet to 1,200 square feet, clearing their belongings after they passed took just 3–4 days instead of months.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why proper downsizing takes 1–2 years
• What to let go of first when time is short
• Why selling everything is often the wrong priority
• How to start hard conversations with aging parents
• And why “I’ll let my kids deal with it” is more costly than we realize
If you are juggling kids and aging parents — or thinking about your own legacy — I hope this conversation serves you.

If you tune in, I’d love to know what resonates most.
