Hi, I’m Jean Tillery, Certified Dream Manager and founder of Epic Living with Jean, and I believe it’s all about the story. Every one of us is living a story. Some chapters we planned. Others we never saw coming. There are dreams we’ve chased, dreams we’ve forgotten, challenges that changed us, people who shaped us, and moments when life took us somewhere completely unexpected. That’s what #epicStories: Stories of Dreams, Detours, and What Comes Next is all about. Through inspiring stories, honest conversations, and personal reflections, we’ll explore the moments that shape who we are and who we’re becoming—from pursuing big dreams and navigating unexpected life transitions to overcoming challenges, finding purpose, and figuring out what comes next. Sometimes I’ll share a story from my own life. Sometimes I’ll sit down with someone whose story I think you need to hear. Some stories will inspire you. Some might challenge you. Some may make you laugh or cry. And some may help you see your own story—and what might still be possible—in a completely new way. Because sometimes hearing someone else’s story is exa…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-10T16:18:20.856098+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/epic-stories-6367889"},"episode":{"title":"Decluttering Your Life: How to Release What No Longer Serves You","slug":"decluttering-your-life-how-to-release-what-no-longer-serves-you","published_at":"2026-04-30T07:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/epic-stories-6367889/decluttering-your-life-how-to-release-what-no-longer-serves-you","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/epic-stories-6367889","url":"https://epic-stories.captivate.fm/episode/decluttering-your-life-how-to-release-what-no-longer-serves-you","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/473c537a-10ae-403f-80c0-8da1904f35dd.mp3","summary":"Are you overwhelmed by more than just the mess you see? Clutter isn’t just about the things piling up in your closet or the endless emails in your inbox—it’s often about the unspoken stories, habits, and identities we carry. In this episode, we sit down with Stephanie Young, a professional organizer who goes beyond surface solutions to help people uncover the “why” behind the clutter and find freedom in their physical, digital, and mental spaces. What We Cover Why clutter is often rooted in emotional patterns, trauma, and learned behaviors—not just “too much stuff” How societal changes and family history shape our urge to hold on or accumulate The real impact of mental and digital clutter, and why they’re often overlooked How to honor the stories behind sentimental objects without letting them control your space Simple, functional strategies to start decluttering on your terms The power of group support—and why sharing your decluttering journey can lighten your load Key Takeaways Clutter is about what we hold onto—and why. It’s more emotional than physical. Functional organization is personal. Find what actually works for you, not what looks good in a magazine or on Instagram. Sentimental items should be seen and enjoyed, not boxed and forgotten. Your clutter often hides in digital and mental spaces. Unsubscribing from emails or acting on repetitive to-dos can bring immediate relief. Asking for help isn’t a sign of failure—your ask may be the answer to someone else’s need. Progress doesn’t require perfection. Start with one small step—trash a single item, unsubscribe from one email, schedule a lingering task. Take Action Pick one area—your junk drawer, inbox, or to-do list—and do a single thing today: throw out rubbish, unsubscribe from five emails, or finally tackle t…","meta_description":"Are you overwhelmed by more than just the mess you see?
