Lately, I’ve been wrestling with a decision about the content I create. After years of focusing heavily on minimalism and decluttering, I’m feeling the pull to expand beyond that. I want to share more about the lessons I’m learning in real time, beyond just simplifying life — or the how to of simplifying life.

In this episode of the Clarity Club, I discuss my decision to pivot my content beyond minimalism and decluttering. I also acknowledge the uncertainty and fear associated with such change, and how I’m navigating this.

If you’re feeling uncertainty in your own life—whether in your career, a personal decision, or a big transition you’re going through, this episode will give you some encouraging things to think about.

• The reason we fear uncertainty
• How uncertainty feels like an endless fog
• What it means to develop clear thinking
• The two ideas I’m keeping at the forefront of my mind (and the steps I’m taking)
• A simple exercise to help you get unstuck
• How taking action leads to relief, excitement, and hope

I will share three red flags to watch for and how ignoring these signs can lead to frustration, burnout, and emotional clutter.

If you’re feeling stuck or unfulfilled, it might be because you’re playing it too safe, sticking to what’s familiar. And let’s be honest, doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is a dead end. So, if you’re ready to break the cycle and see real change in your day-to-day life, whether it’s decluttering, pursuing a new project, or advancing your career, this is for you.

In this episode of the Clarity Club, we will explore the concept of “stepping out of character” and how doing so, even in small ways, can radically shift your mindset, boost your productivity, and bring you a new sense of clarity and fulfillment. I will explain how you can challenge yourself to behave differently (in 4 steps) — but in the direction of who you want to become.

• Understanding the problem with familiarity
• The power of breaking character
• Examples of what it looks like to step out of character
• How to step out of character (in 4 steps)

Decluttering has a transformative impact on personal growth and self-awareness. Our belongings reflect our values and insecurities (regardless of whether they’re accurate representations), and letting go of unnecessary clutter creates space for authenticity and growth.

• Understanding the story your stuff tells
• How to start letting go without overwhelming yourself
• Choosing the best place to start
• How to set realistic and clear goals
• Prioritizing functionality before organizing and designing
• The importance of going slow
• Viewing decluttering as an opportunity to create your life, NOT strip things way
