Relax, I Got This! Podcast -- Embracing Life After 60
Embracing Life After 60 is a podcast for seniors, adult children, and families navigating the realities of this next chapter. Each episode covers the things that matter most as we age—downsizing, decluttering, aging in place, staying safe, and making thoughtful life transitions with less stress.
You’ll also find conversations about living life to the fullest. We talk about travel, friendships, wellness, purpose, staying active, building new connections, and keeping joy at the center of everyday life. Because aging isn’t just about what’s changing; it’s about what’s still possible.
Guests include Senior Home Advisors, Realtors, longevity specialists, life coaches, and other trusted experts who understand both the emotional and practical sides of growing older. We discuss real decisions families face every day: preparing a home for the future, supporting aging parents, maintaining independence, avoiding scams, and creating a life that feels exciting and meaningful.
Whether you’re planning ahead for yourself or helping someone you love, you’ll find tips, real stories, and clear guidance designed to bring confidence, comfort, and a renewed sense of possibility. Tune in and learn how to move forward with clarity, humor, and the freedom to enjoy this chapter to its fullest.

Episode 66: Embracing Life After 60 - You Are Not A Hoarder
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most people think clutter means they’re messy… or even turning into hoarders. But what if the real problem isn’t you at all?
In this episode of Relax I Got This! Embracing Life After 60, Robin McCoy challenges one of the biggest myths about clutter. The truth? Most homes aren’t dealing with hoarding — they’re dealing with accumulation.
Over the years, life fills our homes with memories, sentimental items, kitchen gadgets, paperwork, clothes that “almost fit,” and things we think we might need someday. Eventually, the house simply runs out of space.
Robin shares practical decluttering strategies inspired by Dana K. White, author of Decluttering at the Speed of Life, including:
✔ Why clutter isn’t a character flaw
✔ The powerful Container Rule for simplifying your home
✔ Why “pretty storage bins” don’t actually solve clutter
✔ The Take It There Now rule that stops clutter from multiplying
✔ Why starting with what you see creates instant momentum
Robin also shares her personal goal to remove 3,000 items from her home and how small daily decisions can dramatically lighten your home, your mind, and your life.
If you're thinking about downsizing, organizing your home, or preparing for the next chapter after 60, this episode offers simple strategies that actually work.
