What if the clutter in your home is actually holding you back from the life you want?

In this episode of The Robyn Ivy Podcast, Robyn is joined by master organizer and founder of Clean Sweep Consulting, Jen Heard, for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about what our stuff really says about us—and how letting go can open the door to something far more meaningful.

From Robyn’s own experience growing up around hoarding to Jen’s behind-the-scenes work on the show Hoarders, this conversation goes deep into the emotional and psychological reasons we hold onto things. Together, they unpack the real cost of clutter: not just in our homes, but in our minds, our energy, and our ability to step into what’s next.

You’ll walk away with practical tools, new insights, and a whole lot of compassion—for yourself and for others. Whether you’re moving, downsizing, or just craving more clarity and space in your life, this episode offers the support and motivation you need to take the first step.

Your 3 Key Takeaways

• Clutter is often unmade decisions: What you’re avoiding physically might point to what you’re avoiding emotionally. Letting go creates emotional and mental space for clarity and growth.

• Small actions = Big shifts: From “purgatory boxes” to 15-minute tidy-ups, it’s the tiny habits that lead to transformation.

• Legacy matters: The stuff you keep behind isn’t just yours—it’s what others will inherit. Letting go now can be an act of love for yourself and your future generations.
