Episode 4099: Courtney Carver explores how guilt often keeps us holding on to clutter, unwanted possessions, and even unhealthy habits long after they've stopped serving us. She explains that by acknowledging guilt, choosing to release it, and making room for joy instead, we can create more space for purpose, love, and a simpler life. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bemorewithless.com/go-guilt/ Quotes to ponder: "What you may have forgotten though is that it is your choice to carry the burden of feeling guilty about what’s in your closet, or other areas of your home. It’s your choice." "What I didn’t know is that the guilt was weighing me down with absolutely no purpose. The guilt wasn’t serving me in any way." "What’s interesting about the guilt of letting go, is the guilt doesn’t usually come from letting go. It comes from holding on." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
