The Emotional Side of Pre-Summer Declutt...

Shelina Jokhiya - DeCluttr Me
About this episode

Why does decluttering feel harder in May? 🌸 It’s that strange time of year when emotional clutter builds up quietly — old school projects 📚, children’s artwork 🎨, travel souvenirs ✈️, clothes that no longer fit 👖, and bits you’ve been meaning to sort for ages.


In this episode, I share why this particular season brings a wave of decision fatigue and emotional attachments, and how we can tackle it gently and practically. I’ll walk you through ways to let go without guilt ❤️, deal with the buildup from the school year, and prepare your space and mind for the summer months ahead ☀️.


Whether you’re a parent staring at end-of-term chaos 🧸, or just feeling overwhelmed by the stuff that’s crept in lately, this episode is for you. Think of it as a mindful reset — not about doing everything, but about choosing what matters now.


🎧 Have a listen and let me know what you think!

✨ Don’t forget to follow @decluttrme on Instagram and your favourite podcast app for more organising tips and support.


Let’s get organised together 💫
