55: The Ripple Effect of Clutter with Laura Carlin

Paring Down: Realistic minimalism, decluttering, & intentional living

Have you ever considered how your home either helps you or hinders you when it comes to your goals?

Is it helping you be the kind of parent you want to be, or making it harder?

Is it helping you have a stronger marriage, or distracting you from your partner?

Clutter can affect us in ways we may not even realize. So can our routines and boundaries.

In this episode, author Laura Forbes Carlin shares her insight on this ripple effect of clutter, and offers different concepts that can help us figure out how to choose what stays and what goes (like “everything is alive”). She also shares a framework for deciding when and how to include your kids in the decluttering process.
