Do we even realize that we're creating a life based on what other people like, instead of our own preferences?
I loved this casual, relatable conversation with Courtney Florey of Declutter & Dwell to explore a surprisingly powerful way to prevent clutter before it starts: Getting clear on your personal preferences.
Together, we unpack:
- Why developing contentment is key to simplifying your home and your habits
- Practical actions to uncover what you truly love (beyond trends or what others say you “should” like)
- How knowing your preferences helps you make confident decisions when shopping or decorating
- My somewhat embarrassing story of subconsciously making purchases to impress the internet—and how cutting back on sharing my family revealed this underlying motivation
This episode is a reminder that a clutter-free home doesn’t just come from organizing better—it starts with knowing yourself better.
