Join Jeanette and guest Emily McDermott for an insightful conversation on the correlation between decluttering and our mental well-being.
In this episode, Jeanette and Emily explore the reasons behind our excessive consumption and the impact it has on our mental health. They discuss the importance of setting boundaries and understanding our capacity to prevent overwhelm and stress.
Digging into the spiritual aspect of decluttering, Jeanette and Emily emphasize the need to find contentment in God rather than material possessions. They highlight how excess stuff can negatively impact us and hinder our ability to fully experience joy and peace.
Emily shares practical decluttering tips, such as starting with unemotional areas, tackling clutter in small increments, and using artificial boundaries to guide the process.
