Author: Aileen Xu October 23, 2022 Duration: 48:08
Why do we keep things we don’t want or use? Clutter takes up space we could be using to live intentionally. If something isn’t bringing joy but still feels impossible to get rid of, Tracy McCubbin is here to help. If you can find the emotional root of your clutter, you can let go of what weighs you down and open yourself to new experiences, meaningful connections, and stress-free living. Free yourself of clutter and make space for happiness.

Tracy McCubbin is a decluttering expert and author of Making Space, Clutter Free: The Last Book On Decluttering You'll Ever Need and her latest book, Make Space for Happiness: How to Stop Attracting Clutter and Start Magnetizing the Life You Want. She has always referred to herself as "Obsessive Compulsive Delightful," but who knew she could turn that trait into a booming business? As the CEO of dClutterfly, Tracy has helped thousands of clients clear the clutter in their lives to create space for positive life changes.
