Clutter isn't just the stuff piling up in your closet. It's the relationships you've outgrown, the obligations that drain you, the career that no longer fits — anything you're holding onto that doesn't align with who you are anymore. Getting intentional about what stays and what goes might be the most powerful thing you can do for your personal growth. And it starts with one simple question: Does this fit into the life I actually want to be living? To help you work through that, I've invited ⁠decluttering expert Olivia Heine⁠ to join me on the Love, Happiness and Success Podcast. Olivia's philosophy goes way beyond tidying up — she uses decluttering as a vehicle for getting intentional about every area of your life. In this conversation, we're getting into: Why decluttering is really about intention — and how to get clear on what you want your life to look like before you let anything go The difference between organizing and decluttering (and why that distinction matters) The CLEAR method — a step-by-step framework for working through both the physical and emotional sides of letting go How to handle guilt around releasing things that belonged to loved ones How decluttering your physical space naturally ripples into your relationships, your career, and how you spend your time Why you don't have to wait until something is "bad enough" to release it — including relationships and jobs How to maintain an intentional, organized lifestyle long-term The morning routine and calendar practices that help you stay on track If you're ready to get clear on who you are, what you want, and what it's finally time to release — this episode is for you. All the best, ⁠Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby⁠ ⁠www.GrowingSelf.com
