Have you ever held onto something "just in case"—even though you haven't used it in years?
You're not alone.
In this episode of Let's Talk About Clutter, professional organizer Margo Staten explores the psychology behind one of the biggest reasons we struggle to declutter: the fear of letting go.
From clothes that no longer fit to kitchen gadgets, extra linens, and those mystery cords we all seem to keep, Margo explains why "just in case" is rarely about the item itself—it's about safety, scarcity, and the stories we tell ourselves.
You'll learn:
- Why it's so hard to let go of clutter
- How scarcity and past experiences shape our homes
- The hidden emotional cost of keeping things you don't use
- A simple mindset shift that makes decluttering easier
- How Spot & Toss™ helps you build confidence one small decision at a time
If you've ever struggled with decluttering because you're worried you might need something someday, this episode will help you see your clutter—and yourself—in a whole new way.
