Inspirational Quotes

“I always wanna know, ‘where are we going?’  Not, ‘where have you been?'”

“It’s going through your stuff that allows you to unearth what’s truly important to you now and how you want to fill your future.”

“What I’m selling is the vision of what their future is going to be, not necessarily kind of steep them in what their past has felt like.”

Coaching Advice

If you want to purge your life to find your purpose Kathy recommends:

1) Starting with things you aren’t very emotionally attached to, typically items in your kitchen.

2) Using the momentum from your initial purge to gradually build your purging ability like a muscle before tackling bigger, more emotional areas like your closet.
