How to Declutter Sentimental Items Without Guilt (The Joy Anchor Method) Ep 305

Apr 15, 2026 · 37 min · Ep 309

If you’ve ever held onto something not because you need it but because of what it means to you, this episode is for you.

I’m teaching you the Joy Anchor Method, a simple way to keep what matters and let go of what’s weighing you down.

What you’ll learn:

  • the reframe that makes it easier to know what sentimental items to keep
  • the step-by-step method for handling sentimental collections
  • How to use the Photo Bridge for items you can’t keep but can’t release
  • A simple question I asked my client to help her get unstuck
