380 | Creating More Joy by Letting Go - Conversation with Jen Gomez, The Joy Strategist

Author: Amber Cammidge July 27, 2026 Duration: 44:32

Hi Friends!

What if joy isn't something you find—but something you practice?

In this episode, I sit down with Jen Gomez to talk about creating more joy, moving through fear and anxiety, letting go of control, and finding meaning beyond achievement.

We explore how simple practices can help us shift our internal state, why giving can feel so powerful, and how the difficult chapters of our lives can lead us closer to purpose.

This conversation is about letting go of what no longer serves us—not just in our homes, but within ourselves—and creating more space for joy, trust, and who we're becoming.

Hosted by Amber Cammidge, Declutter Your Chaos-Mindful Minimalism is a conversation about the tangible and intangible things that fill our space. This podcast moves beyond simple organizing tips to explore the intersection of physical clutter and mental well-being, offering a grounded perspective for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their surroundings. Episodes blend actionable, manageable strategies for tidying your home with thoughtful discussions on the emotional habits and subconscious attachments that make letting go so difficult. You’ll hear about resetting daily routines, creating sustainable systems that align with your actual lifestyle, and examining the underlying 'why' behind the accumulation of stuff. The focus is on cultivating a home environment that actively supports your health and goals, rather than working against them. Tuning in provides a practical yet compassionate framework for editing your possessions and, by extension, your mindset. It’s a resource for making lasting changes that free up physical space and create mental clarity, all approached with a sense of realism and encouragement. This is for those ready to move from intention to action, finding calm and capability by thoughtfully curating their world.
