I LOVE this!! This is the first time I have heard your podcast. You are both so funny and entertaining, while at the same time imparting really good info with a depth and sincerity and I really appreciate this! I will definitely be listening to more of your podcasts. You mentioned Ebay……Yes, PLEASE do a podcast soon on how to sell on Ebay, and other good online selling sites. I am in the midst of decluttering right now and I have some good things I want to sell online and I have no idea how to use Ebay!! I’ve gone to Ebay to try to learn how to do it and I don’t get it!! PLEASE do a podcast on how to sell on Ebay. Thank you!! :)

Thank you Kate and Mike. I am currently decluttering the house and this podcast was perfect for what I am dealing with. My husband and I recently moved our son and daughter in two separate rooms, are having an addition for a new pantry and laundry room. After that we will be having the house painted and a new roof done. Moving things around the house, I have been having a hard time figuring out, what to keep and what to let go. I am ready to simplify & create blank space. With a 10 year old daughter & a 6 year old son, it is difficult sometimes to giveaway items that remind you of when they were little. I am also finding that I don’t want to get rid of them because they are items that I never had as a child. The one thing I know is I am great at organizing but don’t like to let things go or give away. I am ready to move forward with the LESS! THANK YOU both for speaking the truth & sharing all this valuable information. ♡♡♡
