We’re often told, “You can’t take your stuff with you when you die, so just let it go.”

But when we talk about downsizing, it should never sound like:
“Let’s get rid of your things so I don’t have to deal with them later.”

It should sound like:
“I want your home to be safe, peaceful, and filled with what brings you joy.”

People don’t want to be erased while they are still living.
They want to be seen, respected, and supported.

Downsizing with compassion creates balance, dignity, and peace for everyone.

If you’re walking through this process and need support, I’m here. 🤍

Not to be confused with settling! Settled is a powerful feeling. Last year my word was together. And I travelled and was together with special people as much as possible. It was what that year needed and I pulled myself together in hard times, I put together my ideas. This year I am settled in my ideas and excited to show the world who I am settled in to be. I have learnt to be settled in calm and boredom. Settled at home and with family. Settled in what my offerings are. The path is clear and grounded. Feeling settled is a powerful thing if it is a new feeling to have and I am enjoying it.

Pausing from decluttering today. Some people ask how I got the name Katcher Guidance. It was formed the day I found out my best friend was diagnosed with Early On Set Alzheimer’s. Our journey together was full of laughter, authenticity, joy and courage. Even on the hard days. A legacy the name carries on. I show up to support clients, to help ease the journey, so the name fit. And today feels a little heavy and I know it’s ok but not ok. And I will breathe, pause, and find joy. Opposites attract where there is heavy there is light. A lesson through all this - I can fall apart and get back up in a moment of time.

Today I am going to keep on with emails as this can be a big task. I like to break it down over time. Also remember to rest and take breaks. If you don’t have emails to purge relax this Sunday or remove one thing from the house you no longer need (recycling to the depot, or throw out old mismatched socks) Progress is key this is not a race.

30 Days of Decluttering is the start.

After personal and professional experience downsizing seniors and families. I have noticed this is lifestyle progress. What you do now helps your calm and your families peace in the future. So 30 days is awareness, learning and I am her for encouragement. As at different stages of life decluttering will be different.

The stage with kids - toys, paper, art, memories, photos, out grown clothes and shoes are all continuous.

The empty nester stage - what to keep, let go of, what to change or keep the same.

The downsizing from family home to condo, assisted living, or long term care with dignity and choice.

The estate clearing we all want it to be easier for our families but we don’t always know how to start and prepare.

These are just a few examples of change where decluttering looks different. I am here to Katch you. To guide you. To be there along side the journey at every stage.

Thank you Tania and family for this kind testimonial. It truly was a pleasure to work with you all.

Downsizing can be overwhelming and emotional. I’m here to help remove the clutter from your mind and home.

Over the past year, Katcher Guidance has shifted to focus more intentionally on supporting seniors (and their families) as they transition from a longtime family home into assisted living, long-term care or end of life.

I’ve been through this process personally, and I know how emotional and overwhelming it can feel. I’m here to help reduce the stress and overwhelm.

Today I wrapped up guiding Tania and her family on a journey that started back in March. Three things that stood out to help make this process smooth:

🔅They started the process early, giving space to make thoughtful decisions.
🔆 They chose one family member to be the main point of contact, which helped keep everything clear and efficient.
🔆 They stayed connected and open as family, asking for help when needed.

Katcher Guidance is here so you don’t have to do this alone. Expert advice helps to keep you on track.

If you or someone you love is preparing for this kind of transition, reach out I’m here to guide you step by step.

Sometimes, the most powerful thing we can do is simply believe.
In healing. In change. In ourselves.

Belief steadies us.

And suddenly, the impossible starts to feel possible.

Do you believe in the power of belief?

Taking Time, Finding Ease

As we move into the May Long Weekend here in BC, I just want to gently remind you that this time is yours. Whether you’re soaking in the rain (wishing it was sun), catching your breath after a long week, or helping someone else do the same, I hope you find a little stillness.

At Katcher Guidance, I am all about transitions the big ones, small ones, the kind that reshape your days or simply your state of mind. Long weekends like this offer a quiet nudge to pause, check in, and realign.

So, wherever you find yourself this weekend, know that rest is not just allowed, know it’s vital.

And when Tuesday rolls around remember I am here to help you through transitions.

Trustworthy support when you need it most.

It will be a wet one folks! Campers stay dry. Gardeners no need to water this weekend. Parents have fun with the kids and jump in a puddle. Readers snuggle up in a cozy blanket. Enjoy what is in front of you.
