Start to simplify with a first step

This month, we’re focusing on downsizing and decluttering for travel. If you’ve felt the urge to simplify your life, but don’t know how to start, this is your call to action! Not only does downsizing clear out the things you don’t use anymore, but it can also help us emotionally shift into a new chapter of our lives. Imagine how much more freeing it can be to travel when you have less ‘stuff’ holding you back!

How to get started: Decluttering!

Downsizing starts with a single step — decluttering! Join our Decluttering for Travel Community Call on May 7, 2024, at 7:00 pm EST. Bring a junk drawer, a jewelry box, makeup box or a utensil drawer — something that you want to start with.

We’ll chat with decluttering expert Allana Lytle from HowSimpleOrganizing.com, Go-to-Grandma Kathy Buckworth and JourneyWoman’s Carolyn Ray, who downsized her home in six weeks in 2018.  

When: Tuesday, May 7, 2024

When: 7 pm EDT (check local time zones here)

Where: Zoom! Sign up below for the link. Capacity is 100 women. The session will be recorded and shared on our YouTube channel for those who can’t join us.
