It started when all her stuff became completely overwhelming and led to a deeper understanding about how to be rich in what matters. Julia Ubbenga joins AllMomDoes host Julie Lyles Carr for a fresh perspective on what the average 300,000 items in our house say not just about our ability to organize but about the state of our spiritual lives.
