Less Stuff, More Joy: A New Way to Live and Love In 2025 ( 3 Tips To Release And Become The New You)

Call me the HAPPY Christmas Grinch, but I woke up this morning, as I do most mornings lately, bumping into things and feeling overwhelmed by the sheer amount of stuff we have in our house.

I am someone who loves wide open spaces – spaces where I can dance, jump, move, and swirl anytime I please. Our house is anything but that!

The truth is, with Christmas around the corner, the thought of one more gift someone will buy us – while I am grateful, of course – only overwhelms me.

I don’t want one more object, material, or thing placed in this house.

We live in a four-bedroom house, and every room is filled to the brim with STUFF. I am not exaggerating when I say we have enough stuff for three houses. I’m talking multiple couches, tables, chairs, two bassinets (we never used), three pack and plays (we never used), a crib (we never used), pots, pans, clothes we never wear, etc... Literally, anything you’d ever need – we have duplicates and triplicates of!

(With that being said, if anyone in Pittsburgh needs anything, message me. I have so much to give away.)

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the person I want to be and the life I want to live, and this person who consumes and buys is not me. I want less stuff and more experiences.

I dream of nice things, not a lot of things.

As we close out the 2024 season, I’m going through a huge purge – releasing, selling, letting go, and giving away anything and everything... except Zephyr and Levi, haha. Anything that does not serve me, serve our family, or bring joy, I want to release.

In a world full of consumption that makes us happy for only a day, I would love to see the opposite: less consumption and more integration.

I write this to encourage you to do the same. I once heard about a simple practice: Grab an item and ask, “Does this bring me joy and happiness?” If the answer is yes, keep it. If not, get rid of it.

As we close out 2024, I encourage you to do the following:

1. Cleanse and clear your space.

Your outer environment is a reflection of your inner world. Clutter, busyness, and chaos outside mirror the clutter, busyness, and chaos in your mind, body, and spirit. When you release what no longer serves your greatest good, the mental chatter and chaos will begin to fade, too. Ask yourself:

• Does this bring me joy?

• Do I need it?

If the answer is no, sell, donate, or toss it.

2. Reflect on the parts of yourself that no longer serve you.

What versions of yourself have you outgrown? Here’s the secret: Who you are is not set in stone. You decide who you want to be. You aren’t given a manual that says, “This is who you are and who you’ll always be.”

Just as you can decide to dye your hair, lose weight, or be single or in union, you get to choose who you are in every single moment. You are a beautiful butterfly – constantly evolving, growing, and changing. If parts of you that once served you no longer align, release them.

Let go and choose to be someone new.

3. Choose who you want to be.

Choose the new version of yourself, just like you choose your clothes in the morning.

You don’t get what you want – you get who you are. If you want to be married, you have to be a wife/husband. If you want a million dollars, you have to be a millionaire. If you want a healthy body, you have to be a healthy person.

Before you can have the life you want, you need to become the person who lives that life.

Choose the life you want to live in 2025. Choose who you want to be in 2025 – and become it.

Consciousness is shifting, and I believe the era of mass consumption is coming to an end (at least I can pray and manifest, haha). Instead, I see a shift towards spending money on experiences, transformation, healing, and love.

If you’re like me and you’re done with mass consumerism and ready for transformation, I encourage you to treat these three tips as gold. Apply them and see how your life changes.

And if you’re still searching for the perfect gift this Christmas, consider gifting what someone really needs – transformation, healing, and love.

For $99, you can gift a certificate worth $333 that can be used for a healing love session or course with me. (Only 18 available!)
