Sometimes the stuff we hold onto, even the little things, become like old friends, reminding us of moments and stories we've lived. So, how do we actually go about getting rid of these things? Today I spoke with Megan Golightly, the founder of Simplified, and she helped us answer these questions.

Life is easier when you have less.
