Kate Evans invites us to explore the unexpected emotional landscape behind our cluttered spaces. As a psychologist turned decluttering coach, she discovered that caring for our homes is genuine self-care—a revelation that completely transformed her approach to therapy and coaching. The conversation delves into why the question “Where do I start decluttering?” might be the wrong one. Instead, Kate suggests we ask: “What’s stopping me from starting?” This simple shift illuminates the complex web of fears, perfectionism, and limiting beliefs that keep us anchored to our possessions. Whether it’s the fear of making wrong decisions, judgment from others, or confronting what our clutter reveals about ourselves, these emotional barriers prevent meaningful progress.
