The Gifts We Keep: Memories, Letting Go, and the Stories Inside Our Stuff
A midlife story about memories, letting go, and the unexpected meaning hidden inside the things we keep.
What if the things we hold onto — the bins of gift wrap, the old holiday bags, the ribbons we’re sure we’ll “use someday” — aren’t clutter at all, but quiet carriers of our stories?
In this episode of Love From the Inside Out®, I revisit a forgotten voice memo from December 2023 — recorded on a day when I pulled many bins of gift wrap out of my storage closet and thought I was just doing a little organizing.
Instead, that moment turned into something else entirely.
A memory.
A reckoning.
A lesson I didn’t know I needed.
This episode explores midlife nostalgia, emotional decluttering, and the deeper stories hiding inside the things we keep.
It’s the perfect listen for the holiday season — especially if you're feeling the tender mix of joy, memory, and reflection this time of year brings.
We dive into:
✨ Why we hold onto certain objects — and what they’re really holding for us
✨ How small, ordinary moments can reveal where we’re growing
✨ The connection between clutter, memory, and the tender parts of midlife
✨ The pressure to “use every last drop” and where that comes from
✨ The beauty of noticing the stories inside our stuff
✨ Letting go with love vs. letting go with guilt
✨ The unexpected gifts our parents leave behind
✨ And the quiet moment when a simple organizing project becomes emotional clarity
What starts with gift wrap becomes a story about nostalgia, self-trust, generational patterns, and what it means to live with more intention — from the inside out.
Whether you’re navigating the holidays, missing someone you love, or simply feeling the pull to create more space in your life (and your heart), this one is for you.
