In this heartfelt episode of Let’s Talk About Clutter, host Margo Staten tackles one of the biggest emotional roadblocks to decluttering: guilt. Whether it’s the pricey jeans you never wore, the heirloom you don’t actually like, or the gifts gathering dust out of obligation—Margo dives into why we hold onto things that no longer serve us and how to finally let go without shame.

You’ll learn why guilt is not your clutter’s keeper, how to reframe your relationship with your stuff, and how to release items with gratitude instead of regret. If you've ever felt paralyzed by "what if" or "I should keep this," this episode will set you free.
