In life, we often put a lot of focus on what we really want... qualities we want to embody, goals and accomplishments we want to achieve.

But sometimes, instead of always seeking to add something to our life, we must discover what we need to let go of first. By doing so, we can uncover WHO we really are, and therefore, figure out what we really want.

On today's episode we take a look at a unique perspective on how to do this. It's called the “Michelangelo Method.”

When it comes to simplifying, one of the biggest hurdles that many of my clients have to face is how to let go of sentimental items they've inherited from their loved ones.

For today's episode I share with you a wonderfully written article by Zoe Kim. It's called "A Guide To Letting Go Of Sentimental Things".

For this past Monday's episode on Life Made Simple, I gave you an easy and simple way to flavor your water and boost your health. It involved freezing pureed lemons into ice cube trays, which actually reminds me of when I used to make homemade baby food for my son, Levi, who just turned 8 this past Saturday.

If you're a mother of an infant or toddler, or if you know someone who just had a baby, then this quick and brief 3 Minute Thursday episode is for you.

Today I share with you a simple way to make homemade baby food.

When simplifying our homes, we need to evaluate our relationship with our things.  And sometimes that means we need to evaluate how we feel when we see that item. For example, if one of your old favorite blouses is hanging in a cluttered boring closet, overtime it probably won't give you that sense of joy that it used to. And that's ok, maybe it just means it's time to let it go.

On today's episode I offer you a unique perspective to help you evaluate your relationship with your clothes, specifically old favorites.

As I'm sure you know, letting go of things that we once loved isn't always easy. But sometimes it's necessary in order to make room for new things that come into our lives.

On today's episode, instead of looking at the psychology of letting go, I want to talk about the psychology behind acquiring things. Because if we limit what comes into our homes and into our lives, than we don't have to let go of so much, so often.
