In getting her house ready to be sold, Michelle is going through a lot of her belongings and trying to decide what needs to stay and what needs to go. As she engages in this process, she’s finding, as many of us do, that the memories arising are making her feel quite nostalgic, reminding her of different moments in the lives of herself and her family. As a result, this week’s episode is all about the sense of nostalgia that virtually all of us experience at some point in our own lives as well.
Today, Michelle and Suzanne begin by catching up on some news such as Michelle’s two new ‘hellions’, Suzanne’s swimming history, and the board game, ‘Really Karen?” From there, they go on to explore what makes them and their family members nostalgic as, together, they take a trip down memory lane, recalling such items from the past as certificates, jerseys, dragons, and Power Rangers. They also discuss how deciding to put an old object in the trash or keeping it safe is a difficult decision, and finish up by reviewing how our good and bad memories make us who we are today. Rest assured, today’s episode is yet another one which will bring you joy, and which will be remembered fondly for a very long time.

Quotes:
‘‘It’s like you started getting rid of these things that no longer spark joy. And you know, what immediately pops into my head is like, ‘So what’s the problem?’”
“But I know what you mean when you’re going through boxes and you come across things. And yeah, it becomes very sentimental.’’
“It’s only a small percentage of things that you’re actually going to really regret getting rid of. And it’ll be that one piece of paper that you know you have, but you can’t find it anywhere.’’
“Because there are definitely things that trigger my senses that helped me remember and take me back to a certain place or time.’’
“I would like to add about nostalgia, like, the good, the bad. It’s what makes us who we are today, the memories of it, and those little things that spark those memories of it.’’
