In this episode (EP24) of the Simplify Senior Transitions Podcast, I’m joined by Stefanie Lew, owner of The Junkluggers of Walnut Creek and Lamorinda. Stefanie is more than a junk removal pro — she’s a compassionate guide for seniors and their families navigating one of the most emotional parts of the transition into senior living: letting go.

We explore how clutter impacts safety, why decluttering can be so emotionally complex for aging adults, and how Stefanie and her team help families move forward with grace and dignity. You’ll also hear what motivates Stefanie to keep showing up for families and how she approaches each home as a place full of memories and meaning.

Whether you’re an adult child helping a parent downsize, or a professional in the senior living world, this conversation is full of real-life insights and heartfelt wisdom.

📌 What We Cover:

• How Junkluggers helps seniors and families declutter with care
• The emotional side of downsizing — and how to support your loved ones
• The safety risks of waiting too long to address clutter
• How Stefanie collaborates with realtors, estate planners, and other pros
• Why service and empathy are the heart of her work
