Welcome to Edit Your Life, a podcast to help you edit the unnecessary from your life so you have more room to enjoy the awesome.

Through episodes with me, your host, Christine Coe, and a range of super smart, compassionate, and thoughtful guests,

you will come away with big picture insights and practical ways to declutter your home,

that will leave you

feeling accomplished instead of overwhelmed.
