Hey there, welcome back to another episode. It's me, Katie. And we've all heard the phrase,

one man's trash is another man's treasure. And today's episode is about

diving into the why behind that statement. Why is one woman's trash, another's treasure? And

that boils down to your value lens. We're going to be diving into the different ways we interpret

things being valuable. And I hope you find this as

fascinating as me. I've been geeking out about this topic for close to four weeks now. I promise

you by the end of this episode, you will understand exactly what your value lens is. And it's

just going to explain so much about your home, yourself, and your simplifying journey.

Because the reality is every single person interprets things being valuable a lot differently.

And no matter what lens of quote unquote value we are looking through, it impacts our life.

It impacts our simplifying journey from what we decide to buy

and bring into our home, to what we decide to keep, what we decide to let go of, how we let go of

things. And alternatively, why we can't let go of or haven't been able to let go of certain

things, even if we, quote unquote, know we should. So have you ever been decluttering,

maybe with your partner or spouse or family member? And you guys both come to this bin,

you take the lid off, you look inside, and one of you goes, oh yeah, like this has got to go.

And the other one goes, oh, no, no, no, we need to keep this. We need to hang on to that.
