Clutter Blocks

Many people try to 'Marie Kondo' themselves out of clutter but find themselves unsuccessful. The reason? Decluttering only sticks when you first examine the deep roots into why clutter accumulated in the first place. Today I speak with with celebrity decluttering expert Tracy McCubbin about the excuses we tell ourselves, the clutter blocks that hold us back, and the real reasons why we can't let go of our stuff.   Here's a preview of the clutter blocks we discuss today: [3:30] I avoid my stuff [6:45] I'm not worth my good stuff [13:00] My stuff keeps me stuck in the past [16:00] My stuff tells me who I am [18:00] I'm trapped with other people's stuff    Resources mentioned: Unearth your own clutter block here Pre-order Tracy's newest book, Make Space For Happiness Want more episodes like this one?
