Last week, Los Angeles experienced one of the worst wildfires in history, leaving devastation in its wake. Lives have been uprooted, homes destroyed, and communities forever changed. While “stuff” isn’t the most important thing in life, losing it—especially suddenly—can be an emotional and overwhelming experience.

In this episode, I’m diving into how we can prepare for the unthinkable by decluttering and organizing now. I’ll walk you through practical steps to simplify your belongings, safeguard the things that matter most, and reduce stress if you ever face a disaster.

This episode isn’t about glossing over the pain of loss—it’s about empowering you to take small, meaningful actions today so you can face the unexpected with resilience.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

Why losing “stuff” is emotional and how to process the grief.
How decluttering now can make recovery easier in a disaster.
Practical tips for creating a “go bag” and backing up important documents.
The importance of digitally preserving sentimental items.
How to decide what’s truly important and let go with grace.
Ways to build a resilient, supportive community in times of crisis.

Action Steps to Take This Week:

Create a Go Bag: Include essential documents, medications, cash, and personal items you’d need in an emergency.
Declutter One Small Space: Start with a single drawer, closet, or area using the “Would I miss this?” test.
Take Inventory of Your Belongings: Document your items with photos or videos and store them digitally.
