156 - Addicted to Negative Excitement: Decluttering Your Life w/ Andrea Wait

Adult Child

When we let go of things that no longer serve us, we create space for what does. This is the gift of decluttering.

Andrea Wait has been helping people organize their homes—and, by extension, their lives—for fifteen years, and after all that time, she knows one thing for sure: putting your house in order can change your life for the better.

Her recently published book Home in Harmony is a straightforward guide to organizing living spaces-and is full of helpful tips and real-talk motivation to help you along your way.

Key Takeaways:

• The many ways adult children of dysfunctional families manifest negative excitement in their lives
• Clutter as a trauma response and form of dissociation
• The importance of identifying the root cause of our clutter
• The various forms of clutter beyond physical belongings
• The profound impact of decluttering and organizing on our lives
