Downsizing. It’s a term filled with promise, but also with uncertainty.

As we transition into the empty nest phase, downsizing becomes increasingly appealing. Yet, the mere thought of parting ways with a lifetime of memories can be overwhelming. Where do we even begin? What do we keep and what do we let go of? And perhaps most dauntingly, how do we conquer the fear of saying goodbye to cherished possessions?

Today we’re joined by an expert in the art of downsizing—Rita Wilkins, affectionately known as The Downsizing Designer. With her wealth of experience as a nationally recognized interior design and lifestyle expert, Rita is here to shed light on all your downsizing dilemmas.

From TEDx talks to her book, "Downsize Your Life," Rita has dedicated her career to helping individuals reimagine their spaces and, by extension, their lives.

Together, we’ll explore the benefits of downsizing—not just for our physical spaces, but for our health and lifestyle.

❤️  Your DARE for this week begins with making a list. Take out pen and paper, find a peaceful spot—perhaps in nature or a quiet room—light a candle, and reflect. Ask yourself: What do you want? What do you need? What are your wishes, and what do you feel is lacking in your life? Begin with these questions. If you seek assistance, Rita's website is an excellent resource for support.
