Thank you to Stephanie Seferian for leading our August 8th Empower Women event, The 5 Pillars of Responsible Decluttering. Whether you have kids, are looking to downsize or want to live more simply, chances are you have accumulated a large amount of “stuff” over the years that you would like to get rid of. Although Marie Kondo’s “spark joy” decluttering introduced millions to minimalism, Kondo and other prominent minimalists fail to advocate for responsible decluttering without placing the burden of our excess stuff on the planet.
Stephanie outlined the 5 Pillars of Responsible Decluttering, including measuring true value and prioritizing quality over quantity. She also answered questions and talked about where and how to donate the trickiest of household items.
