    More than you think.

    In this powerful and unexpected conversation, Angela sits down with intimacy coach Cat Ferris to explore the deeper truth behind clutter:

  • Learn the hidden power of borrowing, sharing, and community-based living | Whitney Leigh Morris
    2026/04/01

    What if the goal isn’t a bigger house, more storage, or finally getting “organized enough” to keep up with modern life?

    In this episode of Making Space with Angela Dragon, Angela sits down with Whitney Leigh Morris—creative director, author, small-space expert, and advocate for sustainable right-sizing—to talk about what it really means to live with intention.

    This conversation goes far beyond decluttering.

    They explore:

    ✅ The difference between downsizing and right-sizing

    ✅ How consumer culture trains us to over-buy and over-own

    ✅ Why clutter is often tied to identity, grief, life transitions, and emotional attachment

    ✅ The hidden power of borrowing, sharing, and community-based living

    ✅ Why ownership is not always the same as freedom

    ✅ How co-stewardship, multigenerational living, and shared resources might offer a more connected future

    If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your stuff, disillusioned by the “American dream,” or hungry for a more meaningful way to live, this episode will meet you there.

    Whitney brings wisdom, nuance, and a deeply grounded perspective on home, sustainability, and belonging—and Angela leads a conversation that feels both practical and soul-level.

    Let us know in the comments: What resonated most for you—right-sizing, slowing the inflow, or building more community into everyday life?
