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.

Her work is about far more than organizing a house. It's about creating space for clarity, confidence, and a life that feels like your own.

 


Amber Cammidge hosts Declutter Your Chaos-Mindful Minimalism, a podcast that approaches the overwhelming task of clearing out your space with a unique blend of practicality and introspection. This isn't just about where to donate old clothes or how to fold a fitted sheet, though you'll find those tangible tips here. Instead, each conversation digs into the emotional roots of accumulation, exploring how our habits around stuff are often tied to memory, identity, or a sense of scarcity. The aim is to move beyond a one-time cleanup and foster a lasting, mindful minimalism that creates mental and physical room to breathe. You'll hear about resetting daily routines, building systems that actually work for your real life, and redefining what 'enough' truly means. Grounded in categories like self-improvement and mental health, this podcast recognizes that a calmer home directly supports a fitter, healthier, and more educated self. It's for anyone feeling weighed down by their possessions and ready to explore the quieter, more intentional life that exists just beneath the surface of the clutter. Tune in for honest talks that help you transform your environment from a source of chaos into a foundation for the life you're trying to build.
