What You DON’T Need: 4 Things to Ditch to Find Peace and Purpose

The world screams, “more!” Do more. Be more. Have more. The pressure for more affects us all–just look at your schedule or “to-do” list as proof.

It’s an exhausting way to live.

But what if life could feel lighter, freer, and more joy-filled—just by letting go of things that weigh us down? In this episode, I share lessons from a challenging summer and a heartfelt conversation with my daughter about the power of identifying things I don’t need–not stuff like outdated clothes (although that’s not a bad idea!)-but rather, things that affect us on a deeper level.

Together, we’ll unpack four common areas of mental and emotional clutter—from social media overload to self-criticism—and learn how to release them. Guided by Philippians 4:8, we’ll explore how clearing space in our minds creates room for peace and purpose. If you’re ready for more clarity and less chaos, this conversation will help you take meaningful steps toward living with intention.

Because sometimes knowing what we DON’T need is just as important as knowing what we DO need.
