Peggy Fitzsimmons is a gifted coach, psychologist, and energy worker.  Almost a decade ago we spent over a 100 hours clearing a massive amount of clutter from my life, which I could never have done on my own. In 2020 I interviewed her about the process and she shared many practical decluttering tips. Since then she’s released her enormously helpful guidebook to decluttering, “Release: Create a Clutter-Free and Soul Driven Life,” which explores the deeper motivations tied to our relationship with our stuff, including trauma, ego identification, and cultural conditioning. In today’s conversation we explore the contrast between ego and soul, and how to tell if you are attached versus connected to your possessions. Peggy shares a clear roadmap for: four essential decluttering skills presencemindfulnessresonanceinspired action and five domains of clutter mentalemotionalenergeticrelationalphysicalShe also offers tools from the book like the “magic of 10%”, and how to engage with a week-long practice of releasing 25 things a day.
