What do you think DIARRHEA and DECLUTTERING have in common?
Season 3, Ep. 11
•
HOST: Åsa Nilsson
TITLE OF EPISODE: What do you think DIARRHEA and DECLUTTERING have in common? ‘The Great Purge’ of my body AND my business.
SUMMARY OF EPISODE:
What do YOU think diarrhea and decluttering have in common? Probably not a question you’ve ever asked yourself but it’s a good question to ponder.
Our bodies purge poisons naturally (thankfully) and when something is out of whack or off kilter, the body attempts to remedy itself. A magical machine.
Well, knowing me, I will, of course, always question anything that is happening inside of me so today I went to a medical specialist to hear what is going on after 2 weeks of this happening. Diarrhea, that is.
He stated that there is simply a bug inside of my system that needs to pass through.
HA! I knew it! My Spirit Team was right! Yes, I check in with some of the best there are and I KNOW so much is happening in the Universe right now AND I wanted to still speak with a professional who specialises in belly problems. I am spiritual, not naive.
So my friend… do you agree that the time is NOW for ‘The Great Purge’ of things that no longer ‘suit’ us.
Whether that’s our bodies purging out whatever poisons don’t belong, purging papers and old ideas and thoughts for my business and starting with a new fresh slate.
OOOH, I just LOVE new beginnings... I always have.
Do you?
Xx,
Åsa
IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:
- My body is decluttering itself right now.
- Shedding weight like I have done in the past. Stop focusing on it and it will happen. Who am I losing weight for?
- Now I am shedding whatever remaining poison is in my body and I am thankful for it!
- Fish, veggies, chips and wine. Meal of champions.
- Past 2 weeks I have had diarrhea. Not sure what caused it but will go to a specialist today.
- Julie Poole tarot reader on YouTube. What in YOUR life is coming to a head?
- Starting new, starting fresh. Brings me to the decluttering of my business too!
- I may have jumped the gun saying Thomas was joining me on day one.
- Business blank slate. I love blank slates, do you?
- I report to myself and God. No one else.
- I’m taking over as the breadwinner. Feels good and scary. I am ready for this.
- Previous goals were all based on monetary goals. Not now. Now my passion projects INCLUDE my life and my love of working with people and helping them with their pivot. Not leaving a mess behind.
- Re-writing my business plan with GOD as my partner in crime and how we want to serve in the highest and best. Swedish death cleaning my business!
- Auditing my life, spending, shed and shred what?
- Getting rid of years of notes feels so good!!!!
- Asking myself What if I did something different this time, reach out to build a community of professionals that are in alignment with my work? Ex. funeral directors, attorneys who work with estates (like next week's guest!!!!).
- I do believe in Spirit AND medical professionals.
- Thankful for the diarrhea, rather out than in, I say.

10. “I am…”. The breakup before the breakthrough.
29:46HOST: Åsa Nilsson TITLE OF EPISODE: “I am…”. The breakup before the breakthrough. SUMMARY OF EPISODE:I had a bit of an epiphany this week when Thomas said one simple line to me over breakfast, “I am not the star Åsa, you are.” This set me off on a downward spiral of weird reactions and over the top ‘not enoughness’ so much so that I contemplated shutting everything down that I have created over these past 7 years on my social media feeds and the podcast movement. In the matter of one simple statement from my husband. Hmmmm, something is off. Or maybe something is RIGHT? Pay attention, Åsa.Asking myself, who am I to speak about all of these topics on social media? Maybe I should shut this all down? I am spending my life on social media posting and writing content and sharing my heart and my life and what if no one actually cares? Or even worse, what if I am embarrassing myself and my family and I don’t even know it? I was brought back to a memory of myself as a young person who didn’t feel like my voice mattered and that I needed to stop asking so many questions. Stop talking so much. ‘Stop being who you are’ essentially.Who do I need to break up with so I can fully integrate into my uplevel that IS occurring right now? The break up HAS to occur so the breakthrough can occur. An old version of myself that still believes that lie needs to go. Now. Facing my shadows.“I am… “everything. And so are you.If you don’t have people around you supporting that thought, or even if you YOURSELF don’t support that thought, then I am guessing you have some breaking up to do too. IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:Thomas' aversion to being on the podcast.I have a need to share my heart and my voice. I don’t want to be embarrassed about that. “You’re the STAR Åsa, not me”... and then the spin out that occurred.Circle of Ugh, the pattern I have been following for the past 7 years.What is my discomfort? Talking too much? Being too much? Shameful to the family? Embarrassing myself? Is this what others are thinking about me? Is this what happens when I am on social media that I begin to think that I am not enough?? Or too much? Should I shut this all down? “I am….”A next level upleveling. It’s happening in and around me and I am feeling unsettled. Creating a community. Finding my own voice. Sharing that.Childhood messaging of you are here to be seen not heard. Am I too much? Stop talking. Stop asking questions. Stop. Just stop. No, I will not stop. In fact, now I am going to double down.Who do you need to break up with so you can have YOUR breakthrough? Who is keeping you small? Who does not support your dreams? If you and I have those people in our lives then we need to see them for who they are today. Who WE are today.The STAR card in tarot. What does it symbolize? What can Thomas have meant? I am choosing a life of integrity. My integrity first. I am not sitting this life out.

9. “We leave our message behind, not our mess.”
38:46HOST: Åsa Nilsson TITLE OF EPISODE: “We leave our message behind, not our mess”SUMMARY OF EPISODE:I spent all last week working with my ‘Ray of Sunshine’ on Phase 2 of getting him completely moved out of his Stockholm apartment so he can relocate back to the US.The trust that Ray gives me, and the “free hands” to work in my own way to create the end result which he needed … makes me come alive. Makes me sweat too, don’t think it's all roses. There is an underlying pressure I still put on myself which I recognize when I “have” to rely on others. And when I start feeling like something is going sideways, how can I react in a way that is better suited rather than losing sleep over it? I can start with gratitude (and having back ups for everything!). Saying ‘thank you’ to those people and myself more. When I do this, I feel myself becoming lighter. I feel my energy becoming brighter. I can feel more creative. Immediately. Saying the words to myself, “Have fun with this, Åsa. It will all work out. Trust others to show up and do what they promised.” Trust. Trust. Trust. Working on it. #progressnotperfectionXx,ÅsaIN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:So much gratitude goes out to my VILLAGE of people that supported and helped me this week. Ray, Thomas,Tim, Mike, Thais, charitable organizations, Facebook Marketplace, TipTapp app.Swedish Death Cleaning versus Decluttering what is the difference?Ongoingness of Swedish Death Cleaning. Assigning names to things now.Don’t give your problems to someone else. “We leave our message behind, not our mess”. Follow up and follow through with people and organizations that promise to help you.Having back ups for everything and why that’s important.The BENEFITS of death cleaning and decluttering.Breaking ancestral chains by removing items that have remained due to guilt and shoulds.Your loved ones are not your things.

7. Staying in a beginners mind with Swedish Death Cleaning
37:18HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE: Staying in a beginners mind with my Swedish Death Cleaning SUMMARY OF EPISODE:Tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you are. At the end of our days, what do you think will matter the most? The stuff we chose to hold on to for dear life because it made us feel good to look at and remember the moments that we have created with them OR will we remember the family and friends (sometimes one and the same) that we love the most and who have continually shown up for us during the most difficult times in our lives? Even when the shit hit the fan. Especially when the shit hit the fan.This episode is a practical summary of what I found when I got to Houston to ‘do the work’ with my beloved eldest sister who had hired me to come in from Sweden to do Swedish Death Cleaning and decluttering in her home after her beloved husband Jay passed away on Christmas Eve.The best laid plans, my friend. I am learning that I need to remain flexible, open, empathetic to all sorts of emotions. I can have an itinerary or game plan that is written in pencil, let’s put it that way. Ahh, learning more and more every time. Pay attention, Åsa. Stay fresh in Spirit and open minded and hearted in order to learn new ways of doing old things. Hope you can learn something too.IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:I can not stand to be rushed.Relax into it, don't stress into it.April is the month of Aries, time to clean it up. The “Self”, After a major life change, don’t make any huge decisions for one year. I discovered more clearly how I prefer to work with death cleaning. I am perfectly fine with a set schedule.Started with administrative work: changing names as primary account holders, what accounts need to be cancelled, memberships cancelled. Auditing all your bills and bank statements every month.Add names on accounts today where possible.Making a priority list of where to start, what rooms need the most attention. I have no agenda on what rooms get completed first. In the end they will ALL make a difference (when selling a home). How do I tackle a large closet? I go through this process. Office re-organization for my sisters needs now. New chair. Getting rid of extra screens, etc. making it HER space. Working to ‘adult’ children's rooms.Guest room is now hotelled, new bedding, neutral, cozy. Character is always revealed. Who comes to your side when you're at your lowest? You will be surprised. Hold on tight to them. Decluttering ‘friends’ and ‘family’ is ALSO a part of death cleaning.I give some tips on how to help someone who has just experienced death. Don’t ASK them what you can do, just DO something. Talking with others. The process of discussing what we want and need moving forward.The client determines the pace and timing in their home. Surrendering to the stuff. Does it bring you peace or weigh you down?

6. Reckless or Bold? REVELATIONS from CHANIA, GREECE
26:47HOST: Åsa NilssonTITLE OF EPISODE: Reckless or Bold? REVELATIONS from CHANIA, GREECE SUMMARY OF EPISODE:After traveling to paradise (Chania, Greece) last week with my two girlfriends, I discovered something that has been elusive in my life as of late. Laughter. I mean, deep, soulful, tearful laughter. The kind that bubbles up so easily when you are with people you love and whose company you really enjoy. Experiencing such simple beauty in the local people, the delicious food, the time spent having deep and long conversations about important topics like dreams, life, hopes, love and family. What’s the most important thing in my life? My husband and our relationship. Spending time together choosing our happiness first. Choosing to live life now. Not one day. Not allowing others to determine our lives FOR us. No. Life is now. Swim in the sea. Eat the food. Open your eyes and your heart. Trust that everything will be revealed in its due course. It always has. And it always will.It’s my job to have the vision and to be clear, not vague or unconscious.I am now North Star clear. Are you? IN THIS EPISODE I DISCUSS:Traveling to Chania, Greece with 2 friends, what was that like?When asked to go, what was my initial reaction? Patterns. When the decision was made to go, all of the sudden everything became easy.Am I getting too stuck in my habitual responses? My husband is leaving his work in June. Is it reckless? “Well, I have a job and I really like my coworkers’. Is that enough?I have a Masters in Observation. Thomas is who I want to spend my time and life with, working together with Swedish Death Cleaning! Why not?!He’s my 2 meter tall man, my viking, he can move mountains. Becoming 100% North Star clear. Is everyone else deciding our lives for us?!Chania, the builder, the materials, pride of country, eat the food, swim in the Mediterranean. What else am I not doing, not exploring, not seeing?We perceive we are in a cage yet the door is not even locked. Feeling outside? Don’t belong, don’t matter? Not rich enough?Abundance is a frame of mind, not an amount of money in your pocket.Don’t judge a book by its cover.We must lead to show others that it’s OK to choose yourself.

40:04GUEST: Erica SöderbergTITLE OF EPISODE: “I hand picked all of this. I had to say so many goodbyes”. SUMMARY OF EPISODE:Meet my entrepreneur friend Erica. She has one of the most creative minds I know, runs her own company AND has made a bold decision to take a full time paying job! Why is this important? Erica is raising her son on her own, finishing up her studies and working on bringing in new business and watching her savings account dwindle. That’s tough on a single mother, let alone anyone! After 5 years, enough was enough. Erica’s nerves were shot and she needed some reprieve. Balance was needed and quickly! Erica finds herself de-armouring her old ways and creating balance through creating good routines for herself. All scheduled so she can “float” in between. Taking bold steps to create a life SHE wants… THAT’s so MOSSY of her!

Went into a depression and saw she had to slow down.-Darkness. She had to use all her tools to drag herself up. -Moving from a human DOING to a human BEING. What does that mean? -What does it mean for Erica to “Give Up”?-Helping herself and her nervous system with taking a paying job WHILE she runs her own business. Not either or but an AND.-Setting herself up with good routines and de-armouring her old ways.-She now surrounds herself with the people she really likes and wants to work with.-“I had to say so many goodbyes”. -“We walk each other home”. -Removing what is NOT you. -Letting go of parts of herself that she liked. Why? -“I feel like I have more when I have less”. -Energy medicine, what is it? -“You are the light. All of you. Just take away all the clutter”.
