WE ARE NOT TAKING THE WHOLE HOUSE WITH US

How to make smart decisions about what comes with you, what doesn’t, and how to downsize your home before you move abroad.

The most practical, down to earth advice from a home organizer who’s already made the move abroad and knows exactly what it feels like to pack up one life and move into another.

Delivered right to your inbox.

"How am I supposed to fit a 5-bedroom house I've lived in for 25 years into 4 suitcases and a personal item that fits under the seat?"

And every time you try to start going through it, you end up stuck.

Because it’s not just stuff. 

It’s money.
Memories.
Guilt.
Uncertainty.  

And a hundred decisions you don’t feel ready to make.

Everything feels important. 
 
And nothing is getting done.


You’ve Got A House Full Of Things. And A Big Move In Your Future.

You’ve Got A House Full Of Things.

And A Big Move In Your Future.

You don’t want a decluttering checklist.
  
Or a minimalist manifesto. 
 
Or more generic moving advice. 



So you can:

✅ stop staring at your stuff and start making decisions with confidence

✅ know exactly where to begin (and what to ignore for now)

✅ feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of the process

✅ have a strategy that moves you forward 


That’s what this is.

Have no fear. I am not gonna sell your email or feed it to the wolves or force it to listen to The Life of a Showgirl more than 17,826 times.

I will use it to send you the "We Are Not Taking The House With Us" series of emails and you'll also be subscribed to my newsletter, called "How to Stuff Your Home" where I write about all the things we bring into our homes (and our lives). Why it brings us joy. And what to do if it doesn’t.

And if someday you decide you don't want it anymore, no worries. It will be a little bit sad to say goodbye, but I get it. You can totally unsubscribe at any time.


10 days of grounded, practical help from someone who specializes in downsizing for major life transitions. 

Hi, I'm Vivian.


I'm a professional home organizer who specializes in helping smart, capable women think clearly about their stuff, let go of what no longer belongs, and make space for the life they want to be living. 

I'm an expert at helping people downsize for major life transitions.

And I’ve done this kind of pre-move abroad work in my own home. Twice.

I know what it feels like to stand in the middle of the kitchen and think, “What am I supposed to do with all of this?”

This email series will help you answer that.

No fluff.  No shame.  No “just get rid of everything.”

Just a smarter way to decide what happens next.
