Jodi Rosko and Heather Fisher Season 1 Episode 48

Divorce is one of the biggest life transitions you can experience—and your home is often at the center of it. In this episode, we’re talking about what it really looks like to downsize after divorce and how to make thoughtful housing and decluttering decisions during a season of major change.

Whether you’re deciding whether to keep the house, preparing to sell, or figuring out what to do with years of shared belongings, this conversation is designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

We cover the emotional weight of the marital home, the financial realities many people face after divorce, and how downsizing can become a powerful reset—not just a loss. You’ll also hear practical guidance on sorting belongings, choosing your next home, and creating a space that truly supports your next chapter.

  • How to know when the house no longer fits your life
  • Why downsizing after divorce feels so emotionally heavy
  • How to approach sorting and letting go of shared belongings
  • Housing options that support independence and flexibility
  • How to create a home that reflects who you are now
