This isn’t the “clean your house” part of the conversation.

This is the heart of it.

In Part 2 of my conversation with Dana K. White, we talk about the emotional side of decluttering—

the guilt, the identity ties, the fear of letting go,

and the mental load that keeps us overwhelmed.

You’ll learn:

• why some items feel impossible to release
• how to handle guilt-based or sentimental clutter
• how “reality checks” build capacity and confidence
• why boundaries and containers matter in business AND home
• the surprising connection between clutter and leadership

If Part 1 gave you the method…

Part 2 gives you the freedom.

👉 Watch now to understand the emotional work behind the 5 steps.
