In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua and Ryan discuss minimizing and letting go of sentimental stuff, and they answer the following questions:
- How do we tactfully and appropriately address loved ones regarding stuff they’ve given us that we’re giving away—especially those things they consider of significant sentimental value?
- How do we avoid arguments with loved ones regarding possessions?
- Why does our brain try so hard to hold us back from releasing sentimental possessions?
- What do we do with all of the things associated with a loved one when we’ve lost them in a particularly tragic, traumatic way?
