Holiday Overwhelm? Decluttering Tips to Simplify Your Season


Hey Reader,

I hope you are having a fantastic week!

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the holiday season and all the extra 'stuff' that comes with it? You're not alone. My recent podcast episode tackled this very issue head-on.

Decluttering expert, Katy Wells joins me to discuss practical ways to manage holiday clutter. She highlights the often-overlooked emotional stress that excessive holiday items can cause.

Key Takeaways:
