Have you ever stood in front of a cluttered closet or an overflowing junk drawer, knowing you should get rid of things… but instead, you just shut the door and walk away? Maybe you pick up an old sweater and convince yourself you might wear it again, or you hesitate over a stack of papers because, what if you need them someday?
If this sounds familiar, let me assure you—it’s not because you’re lazy, and it’s not because you’re bad at organizing. There’s actually a deeper reason why you struggle to let go of clutter, and once you understand what’s really going on, you can finally break free from it.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three most common Clutter Languages—the hidden emotional patterns that keep you stuck in clutter overwhelm. And trust me, once you recognize your own clutter language, you’ll never look at your stuff the same way again.
Ready to find out what’s really holding you back—and how to finally let go? Let’s dive in!
