As a child, I didn't have a lot growing up.

I didn't come from a rich family.

So I was very driven to be successful.

And so everything I achieved was not enough.

And I thought, well, what if I don't own anything?

What if I literally have a few clothes and things that I can't let go of?

Luckily, I've got a very tolerant husband who, when I said, I want to sell the house and I want to get rid of everything, he said, OK.

And I said, but I mean everything.

He said, yeah, OK, that's fine.

So this task of having this huge house full of furniture, full of stuff, I then had to start the process of decluttering and getting rid of everything, which is huge.

What was that like?

Everything you need is within yourself.

Everything you need is within yourself.

So all these things actually mean nothing.

I'm not very sentimental when it comes to things.

So I started by getting rid of big things.

But then, I mean, I would have loved it if everything would have gone in a backpack.

But sadly, with documents and pieces of paper and bits and bobs, we ended up with 10 boxes.

10 boxes.

Yeah.
