Things That Hold Us Back From Decluttering
I want to discuss today why people have so much trouble spending money to get the help they need when it comes to getting organized and decluttering! Identifying the problem is key, oftentimes we know that decluttering needs to happen but we don’t know where the setback is, you may think it is money, but really it is fear! You may think it is fear but maybe it is really time.
