In this episode of The Minimalists Podcast, Joshua & Ryan talk about letting go of sentimental items, souvenirs, trinkets, keepsakes, and mementos, and they answer the following questions:
- How do I manage the multitude of emotions prompted by my minimalism journey?
- What options are available for writing journals if I don’t want the clutter of physical journals and I don’t want to write on a computer?
- Should I save anything with the consideration of what my children might like to own?
- How do I find the leverage to part with the few things that remind me of my recently deceased loved one?
