This week’s guest, Sue Rasmussen , a Master Certified Coach, writer and speaker, defines clutter as “anything that does not add joy or vibrancy to your life.” Sue helps people “learn how to let go of the clutter (the stuff, papers, email, activities, clients, to-dos, and self-sabotaging beliefs) that drains our energy and blocks our ability to move forward – and reconnect with what actually brings us joy.” As our guest on this week’s show, she defines 7 different types or levels of clutter: physical, ‘virtual’ (electronics), time, (how you use it), relationships, body, senses, mind, (negative messages), and as what gets in the way of connection with spirit. Sue demonstrates an exercise to help us determine what is really clutter in our lives, and it’s impact upon us. Then she helps us develop a process for getting rid of it and free ourselves from what we truly don’t need, thus creating space for more beauty, peace and less stress in our lives.

At the end of the show, host Mary Treacy O’Keefe, shares a “meant to be” story about how getting rid of clutter enabled her family to find a letter, written 45 years earlier, that comforted her family after her father died.
