The Downsizing Roadmap Podcast
51. Your New Year Downsizing Reset (Part 1)
A new year has a way of making us see our homes—and ourselves—more clearly.
In Part 1 of this two-part New Year series, we focus on the mindset behind downsizing and why January often becomes the moment people start asking quieter, deeper questions about their space, their routines, and what they want next.
This episode is not about checklists or decluttering marathons. It’s about understanding:
- Why fresh starts feel so powerful in the brain
- What “temporal landmarks” are and why they matter
- Why most New Year’s resolutions fail—and what that teaches us about change
- How a new year shifts the way we see our homes
- The mindset shifts that make downsizing feel lighter and more possible
If 2026 feels like a year of transition, reflection, or curiosity, this episode is your permission to slow down and start with clarity—without pressure.
Part 2 will walk through gentle, realistic ways to turn this mindset into action throughout the year.
Episode Highlights
- Why January brings honesty about our homes
- The psychology behind fresh starts
- Downsizing as alignment, not loss
- Identity shifts that lead to easier decisions
- Why curiosity is enough for now
