About this episode
Has Christmas turned into a gift-buying frenzy for you? 🎁 This week on Free Thinking with Montel, we sit down with Matt Paxton, decluttering expert, host of PBS's Legacy List, and author of the bestselling book Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff. Together, we take a deep look at Christmas consumerism, the emotional weight of “stuff,” and how to reclaim the true spirit of the season.
Discover practical tips on focusing less on material possessions and more on meaningful moments, creating deeper connections with your loved ones, and starting mindful traditions that last for years to come. Whether you’re looking to declutter your home, simplify the holidays, or just take the pressure off gift-giving, this episode is packed with advice to help you lighten your load—physically and emotionally.
