Have you ever sat on the floor, surrounded by keepsakes, and felt like letting go meant giving up on the dreams you once had for your family?

This bonus episode, Pouring Out the Heart of It, is a gentle five-minute reflection on what it’s really like when decluttering touches the dreams we once held. I’m sharing my honest journey—how moving 19 times with a big family shaped my view of stuff, and how I’ve learned to let go with peace, stewardship, and trust in God’s provision.

If you’ve ever struggled to release items tied to “someday” hopes, this episode is for you. 
I want this episode to help you tackle real clutter—physical and emotional—so you can let go of items without guilt. 
My prayer is that it gives you comfort, practical encouragement, and permission to let go.

🎯 In this episode, I’ll walk you through:

The emotional tension between frugality and dreams

How I release items tied to future hopes

A practical 3- or 6-month delay trick I use when I’m unsure

Encouragement for when emotional clutter feels too heavy

Why letting go doesn’t mean giving up on your dream

I hope this episode blesses you as we journey through decluttering this month!
XOXO,
Katie
