497: When You Feel Guilty Getting Rid of Stuff Part 1
Kathi and her Clutter Free OG, Tonya Kubo, are here to help us get rid of the clutter, and the guilt, at the same time. Kathi’s number one goal for herself and us is to only have things in the house that we use, love, or would buy again. A functional home is a home you can be at peace in. We can all achieve this by:
- Getting intentional at giving stuff away
- Selling stuff – but only if you’re good at it!
- If you can’t give it away or sell it in 3 days… Donate it or Trash it!
You won’t want to miss these valuable tips, and be sure to listen next week for part 2!
THE CLUTTER-FREE HOME
When it comes to your home, peace is possible…
Longing for a place of peace from which you can love others well? The Clutter-Free Home is your room-by-room guide to decluttering, reclaiming, and celebrating every space of your home.
Let author Kathi Lipp (who once lived a life buried in clutter) walk you through each room of your house to create organizational zones that are not only functional and practical but create places of peace that reflect your personality. Kathi will help you tackle the four-step process of dedicate, decide, declutter and “do-your-thing” to reveal the home you’ve always dreamed of, and then transform it into a haven that reflects who you truly are meant to be.

Kathi,
I enjoyed your podcast today and I wanted to comment on using a cleaning service. You sounded almost apologetic and like you had to defend yourself for having someone clean your house. I have had a cleaning service for years and believe it is a great way to help yourself stay organized. When I know my cleaning service is coming, I pick up my house and I address things that I should have done but haven’t had the motivation to do. So, I believe that my cleaning person keeps me accountable and motivated and helps to keep my house in order. I am a Professional Organizer myself and often recommend to my clients to treat themselves by having someone help them in this way so they can concentrate on keeping their house in order. Love your show!
