In this first episode, I talk about clearing out my van and realizing how much space it created in my head too.
This wasn’t planned-just a real moment after letting go of things I didn’t need anymore.
Sometimes it’s not about adding more…it’s about clearing space.
Voices, Volume & Vibes
You are listening to Voices, Volume, and Vibes. This is Voices, Volume, and Vibes. My name is Todd. I want you to know that I don't fully know where this is going yet, but I trust it's gonna lead somewhere real. Today wasn't planned. I didn't sit down and outline an episode. I just started cleaning out my van. And it turned into something way bigger. I started going through my stuff. Shoes, gear, random things I've had for years. Stuff I thought I needed, and stuff I bought for a version of my life that I'm not really living anymore. Something I think a lot of people can relate to. And one by one, I just started letting it go. Not selling it. I wasn't trying to overthink it. Just letting it go. And the van feels empty. There's a lot of space in this. And up until last week, there was a canine companion here. And that's part of this. That's life. That's change. That's adapting. And that's all part of what this is supposed to be. Because every single thing you own, it takes up a little bit of energy. And I think, honestly, I'm struggling with that lack of my companion. And I put that energy into something else. Right now, realizing that there was a lot of things in this van. Things I hadn't used, things I didn't need, things I purchased when I first moved into this van, when I first started this life. Like a lot of people, I think, in this van life world. Where you downsize but still find yourself buying stuff that you don't absolutely need. It's trial and error, you know? A lot of life is that way. Kind of reminded me a lot of improv. A lot of improv is just improvisation. You're not holding on to things. You don't hold on to what just happened. You don't cling to the last line, the last scene. You evolve. You just let it go and respond to what's in front of you. And that's kind of where I'm at. That's how today felt. I stopped holding on to what I thought I needed. And I just responded to what actually fits my life right now. I think a lot of us hold on to things. Not because we use them, but because they represent a vision of us. A past vision of us. Something that we remember. Something that we hold on to. Who we were, who we thought we'd be, or who we think we're supposed to be. And man, I fell into that trap. Hard. And letting go of that stuff, it's not just cleaning. It's choosing who you are right now. Personally, I'm trying to choose living a little bit more intentionally. Less based on what I feel I need to own, what I feel I should have, and what I actually need. I've been going through a lot lately. And I think today was one of those first times I felt a little lighter. Not because everything's fixed, but because I stopped caring things I don't need any more. So if you're feeling stuck or overwhelmed or like something's off, I want you to realize it's not about adding things. It's not about adding more. It's really about clearing space physically, mentally, and emotionally. Just making room for something real. Wherever you are in your journey, just keep moving forward in your own way at your own pace. Roman, my friends. Roman.
