  • The best!

    I am a loyal listener to this podcast and recently became a paid subscriber because I love it so much and I usually don’t subscribe to anything. I can’t say enough good things about Stephanie she always cites her sources, picks reliable guests and isn’t afraid to question them when appropriate, and truly knows what she believes in. I would support Stephanie in anything she chooses to do.

  • So needed!

    This is the podcast I didn’t know I needed! My husband is obsessed with decluttering and I grew up in a hoarder house. The struggle is real! Stephanie helps us both understand how the American obsession with stuff is unsustainable and bad for your mental health.
