Hello, hello everybody. I'm Lexi Lombard, host of the Lexi podcast, and if you are a sentimental

person or someone that lies to themselves that hoards things under the lie that you are prepared,

you are not wasteful, I'm going to help you because it's a trap.

It's a trap that only you're suffering in and you don't even realize the clean, clear

energy that you can have flowing through your home, the lightness you can have, the ease you can

have, the freedom you can feel, and you don't even

know what you're missing because you think you're holding on to things because you need them.

And let me tell you, most of them, so many of them, you don't need.

And I also want to emphasize that in this episode, I'm not going to be giving you the tried advice.

If you haven't touched it in the last six months, toss it. We're not going to say, does it spark

joy? We're getting to the root because I believe owning items is a lot more of an emotional

process and experience than a lot of us give credit for. And also, I know this very well,

because I'm not just saying that I'm someone who holds on to birthday cards from old friends

because I do. I'm talking, I would get upset at my mom for tossing out papers that I had left

untouched in the kitchen for weeks. And she's like, you, what? You're upset at that? You hadn't touched them.

And I just figured they were trust. I'm like, well, I was going to get to them. Meanwhile,

I don't even know what was in them. I'm talking, I wanted to keep all of my clothes to pass down to

my future kids. I'm talking every photo booth, photo, every business card, every plane ticket, every concert ticket, every music festival wristband.

I wanted to keep it because inevitably there was obviously going to be a documentary about my

life when I died and they needed evidence. I also wanted to keep every school book, every math

binder, science binder, history binder, in case I ever needed

to reference something for my higher education. It would be wrong to throw away all this knowledge.
