Have you recently moved—or are you simply trying to feel more at home where you are? In this uplifting episode, I sit down with Ali Wenzke, author of The Art of Happy Moving, who has moved 10 times in 11 years and brings a wealth of wisdom on building community, letting go of clutter, and finding joy in life’s transitions.

We dive into:

  • The emotional side of moving (and why it’s not talked about enough)
  • Practical, doable decluttering tips (even with sentimental items and kids!)
  • How to make new friends as an adult without the pressure
  • Supporting kids through the challenges of a move
  • Why gratitude and connection are the real keys to happiness—wherever you live

✨ Whether you’re preparing for a move or just looking to deepen your sense of belonging, this conversation will leave you feeling encouraged, empowered, and inspired to take your next step.
