Rachel Jones of Nourishing Minimalism provides practical advice on handling sentimental items during decluttering. By focusing first on non-emotional items, acknowledging feelings, and keeping truly special items, she guides readers towards a simpler, more fulfilling life.

Quotes to ponder:

"Feelings can be uncomfortable, because we often spend our lives avoiding them and avoiding causing other people to feel things."

"When you let go of baby clothes, it is admitting that that season of life is past."

"Permitting yourself to keep the special items before you begin will help curb the anxiety of decluttering these items."
