The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast
27. What to Keep When the Kids Are Grown (and Say They Don’t Want Anything)
You saved it all—the baby clothes, the school projects, the toys. But now your adult kids say… they don’t want any of it. So, what should you actually keep?
In this episode of The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast, we’re getting real (but keeping it light) about what’s worth saving from your kids’ childhood and how to finally let go of the rest without guilt.
We’re covering:
✔️ Why it’s emotionally hard to release kid memorabilia
✔️ How to have the “reverse inheritance” conversation
✔️ What adult kids actually appreciate (spoiler: it’s not bins of trophies)
✔️ Practical items—why saving baby gear for grandkids might not be a great idea
✔️ Creative ways to preserve stories without keeping the stuff
Plus, download our Keepsake Sorting Guide to help you decide what to save and what to release: www.downsizingroadmap.com/resources
This episode is for every empty nester facing a garage full of memories—and wanting a little clarity (and a lot of freedom).
