Summary

This solo is an invitation to come back to what’s essential and release what’s creating unnecessary noise in your life. Melissa shares her thoughts on how decluttering your physical space often mirrors your internal state, and can bring clarity, focus, and energetic relief. If you don’t use it or love it, it’s okay to let it go. This episode also touches on consumption overload and becoming more mindful of where your time, money, and attention are going. Not every moment needs to be filled with sound or stimulation. Stillness and empty space are necessary for regulation and alignment. She also discusses getting clear on our decision making with where we spend our time and the fact that a “maybe” is often a no. Simplifying isn’t about doing less. It’s about making room for what truly matters.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Move with Heart podcast. I am your host, Melissa Wood-Teperberg, and I am so
0:09.7	honored to have you here to have these enlightening conversations to help you see the power
0:18.7	within yourself, this magnificence that we all hold.
0:24.3	We just have to stay devoted with our practice and doing the work
0:27.9	and open our hearts and our minds to the infinite power of possibilities.
0:37.1	Well, I want to focus on everything in your life. So home life, work
0:41.4	life, wellness, friendships, love life. I created a list of five things that really help me
0:48.1	simplify in its simplest form. So when I'm thinking about simplifying my life, I love to look at it in
0:56.6	categories, but then dive deeper into the how am I doing this? Number one, like the first thing
1:06.2	when it comes to my home life is decluttering and reorganizing my space, going through my stuff.
1:17.2	I will definitely confess that I have a lot of stuff and I really want to lean more into
1:25.3	my minimalist self, which I know is in there. I will say working
1:32.5	in this space, I get so much stuff sent to me. And by no means am I complaining about it
1:41.4	because there was definitely a time where like I felt like I made it
1:45.4	getting all the gifting that I was getting. But there also comes a time with that gifting
1:51.0	adds up and it piles up and it just feels like too much, like too much stuff. And if I am not
2:00.3	using it and I don't love it, it has to go. I love donating
2:04.4	all my products that aren't used clothing with tags to Covenant House. This is an incredible
2:12.7	place. They have a location in New York and you can drop everything off. It needs to have tags. It needs to be
2:20.9	brand new. And then for things that are used, I give to the Bowery mission to the Salvation Army.
2:29.6	If there's any other places, please write and share. When I had Jamie from Better Than Before, Jamie and Adriana come here less and help me really
