From Overwhelmed to Empowered: Tanya’s Story of Decluttering After Divorce

At 50, Tanya found herself standing in the middle of a house filled with memories — and things. After a difficult divorce and the end of a long chapter, she was ready to move forward… but didn’t quite know where to start.

“I looked around and realized I was holding on to more than just stuff,” she said. “I was holding on to a life that didn’t fit anymore.”

That’s when Tanya reached out to Simply Decluttered.

A Fresh Start with a Gentle Touch

From the beginning, we approached Tanya’s journey with compassion and care. Divorce is never just about legal papers — it’s emotional, messy, and deeply personal. So is decluttering. But we believe that letting go doesn’t have to be painful. In fact, it can be powerful.

Room by room, we helped Tanya decide what to keep, what to release, and what truly supported the life she was creating — not the one she was leaving behind. The transformation wasn’t just physical. It was emotional. It was joyful.

“There was this moment when I donated a box of old kitchenware,” Tanya shared. “It felt like I was making space for joy, not just clearing out drawers.”

Making Room for Joy

Decluttering after a major life change can feel daunting — but it can also be a beautiful act of self-care. For Tanya, it was a celebration of her resilience and a step toward a life designed on her terms.

By the time we finished, her home felt lighter. And so did she.

“I thought I was hiring someone to help me clean out closets,” Tanya laughed. “I didn’t know I was hiring someone to help me move forward.”
