Curious about Community

If you're feeling overwhelmed and frustrated by the constant cycle of decluttering, only to find yourself surrounded by clutter again, then you are not alone! Despite your efforts, the clutter continues to accumulate, leaving you feeling defeated and unable to create the clean and organised space you desire. The countless hours spent sorting and discarding items seem to have little impact, leading to a sense of hopelessness and disillusionment. But fear not, because the importance of community in decluttering and in life can provide the support and guidance you need to break free from this cycle and achieve lasting results.

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Identify how having a strong community can make decluttering a cathartic experience.
• Probe into the pandemic’s influence on our sense of community and how it has changed our interactions.
• Recognise the importance of authenticity and honesty in decluttering, creating a more efficient and satisfying process.
• Comprehend ways to deal with the inevitable resistance that arises during periods of change in decluttering and life.
• Construct an understanding of how our own vulnerability can foster inclusivity and strengthen community bonds.
