What can living nomadically teach you about your belongings? Lessons from an online entrepreneur who decluttered her storage unit after 12 months on the road #155

Living Clutter Free Forever - decluttering tips,home organizing, minimalist living

What if letting go of clutter could give you more than just a tidy home?

Have you ever gone on holiday and thought, Why can’t my house feel this calm and clear all the time?

In this episode, I’m chatting with Melissa Pruitt—an online entrepreneur who spent a year travelling full-time, taking with her only what could fit in the car she shared with her husband and their dog (yes, really). When they finally opened their storage unit after 12 months on the road, what they found—and what they didn’t miss—sparked a massive declutter.

We’re talking about the real cost of clutter, why we hang onto stuff we don’t need, and what happens when you finally ask: Do I even want this in my life anymore?

Melissa’s journey is packed with powerful reminders—about intentional living, mindful tidying, and how the KonMari method and smart declutter strategies can completely shift how you feel in your space.

If you’re overwhelmed, constantly tidying but never feeling “done,” or just sick of staring at drawers full of stuff you never use—this one’s for you.

Let’s rethink home organization. Let’s simplify. Let’s stop waiting for the “perfect time.”

Press play now and discover how to take back control of your space—without needing to pack up your life and hit the road (unless you want to).
