Best of the Blog 2025: Midlife Decluttering Posts You Loved Most

I’m hosting 30 for fondue Christmas Eve and kids have arrived home and even though I decluttered the crap out of my holiday it still feels a bit hectic. So, instead of regularly scheduled content I bring you the Best of the Blog for 2025. These were the most popular of the whole year, according to my analytics. Before giving you the list and links, I wanted to thank all of you. For following me, for sharing your stories, your questions and your frustrations around the hot midlife topic of decluttering. I take all of that and write about it each week – many of my blogs come from direct questions, experiences with clients or what I encounter in my own life. We are all in the same boat, y’all – and there’s comfort in that!

Anyway – here are the five blogs that rose to the top in 2025…
