Description

Senior Series is a series of conversations with local experts focused on the unique and complex housing related issues facing mature homeowners and their families.  This month’s topic is The Truth about Downsizing: The Psychology Behind Letting Go.    

Even when you know a simpler life could bring more ease, the act of letting go can feel overwhelming. 

This thoughtful seminar dives into the emotional and psychological weight behind downsizing. We’ll talk about why releasing a home filled with memories—and the belongings that tell your life story—can be so challenging, and we’ll walk through practical ways to move forward with clarity. 

 You’ll Walk Away With: 

  • A deeper understanding of the emotional roadblocks that make downsizing so difficult 

  • Tools and strategies to help you or the people you care about start preparing with confidence 

  • Helpful resources and worksheets to support your journey—at a pace that feels right 

Whether downsizing is on your horizon or simply something you want to be ready for, this session offers guidance, reassurance, and a path toward your next chapter.
