What happens when your dream home starts to feel like a prison?
In this episode of Living. Loving. Being., Mary McCorvey sits down with TEDx speaker and bestselling author Rita Wilkins, also known as The Downsizing Designer. Rita shares her surprising journey from a lavish 5,000 sq. ft. home to an 867 sq. ft. apartment—and how that radical shift created a life filled with meaning, freedom, and impact.
We talk about:
- Why "more" was never enough
- How clutter reflects our inner world
- The emotional truth behind letting go
- Her TEDx journey and how she built an audience by living her message
This is not just about downsizing stuff—it’s about upgrading your life.
