SELLEST OSAST
Our homes tell the stories of our lives—but eventually, every family faces the question of what to keep, what to let go of, and how to begin those conversations with compassion.
In this episode, Patty Powers, BSN, RN, shares how her years in healthcare shaped her approach to professional organizing and why Swedish Death Cleaning is far less about death than it is about living well today. Together, we explore the emotions behind sentimental belongings, the guilt that often keeps us holding on, and practical ways to start decluttering without becoming overwhelmed.
You'll also hear thoughtful advice on talking with aging parents about their belongings, why hoarding deserves compassion and professional support, and simple strategies for taking the first step—whether that's one drawer or one conversation.
If you're caring for a loved one, planning ahead, or simply wondering where to begin, we hope this episode reminds you that every small step forward is an act of care—for yourself and for the people you love.
