| 01 Jul 2022 | 3 Strategies to find the time to declutter and organize your home #007 | 00:18:24 | |
We all have the same number of hours in a week. 168 to be exact. I hear so often from friends and clients, that they don’t have time to do x, y and z. And they probably genuinely feel like they don’t. The fact is though that we all have the same number of hours in a day, and how we choose to organise our time determines what we actually get done. In this podcast I talk about practical ways to manage our day to make it possible to find time for those things we would love to be doing, but never find the time for. I would LOVE to hear from you.

| 11 Aug 2022 | What KonMari® is not! #012 | 00:09:39 | |
This episode is the first in a 4 part mini series based on articles from the official KonMari website. There are quite a few myths flying around out there about the KonMari Method®, and one of them is that the outcome of applying the method is minimalistic. In this episode, based on an article called KonMari is not Minimalism, I will talk about why the applying the ideas created by Marie Kondo, does not mean that you will necessarily end up with a minimalistic home.

This episode is the third in a 4 part mini-series based on articles from the official KonMari website. Paper. It’s that category that most clients would rather avoid.

| 15 Sep 2022 | Why decluttering is a form as self-care #017 | 00:11:21 | |
I am sure a lot of people hear me credit Marie Kondo’s book for saving me, and think I am wildly exaggerating, but it really was the case.

In this episode I look at 5 points that make decluttering a form of self-care. I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here. Thanks for listening!

| 04 Nov 2022 | Organizing the home for wheelchair living #024 | 00:41:02 | |
This episode is special for a couple of reasons. Firstly I got to reconnect with my old school friend Jane Gould, who I have stayed in touch with over Facebook, but I have not actually seen for over 20 years, and secondly, because it gives me the chance to use my podcast to raise awareness of issues that we perhaps don't usually give much thought to. Jane was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago, and now in a wheelchair, she talks to me about the difficulties of navigating her home in a wheelchair, and the clever organizational solutions she has developed to make her life easier. We hope that this episode will raise awareness of MS, and help other people in Jane's situation. I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here. Thanks for listening!

| 11 Nov 2022 | How to have a stress free and organized Christmas #025 | 00:21:46 | |
I am not a big fan of the 'C' word, or at least I don't want to be hearing it until it's at least December! That said, pre-preparation, starting in November, makes life so much easier, and allows for a calmer and more enjoyable Christmas (there I said it!). In this episode I will share with you my top tips and tricks for things you can already be doing to buy you more time, and make the whole event the wonderful and relaxing family time it can and should be. Whether your family choose to spend the whole day in their PJs, or whether you are in full party mode with extended family, the little (and I mean little) things you do now to organize yourself, can make all the difference. So, just for you, I have broken my 'no C word before December' rule, and I hope you find it helpful. I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here. Thanks for listening!

| 16 Dec 2022 | Let go of perfectionism to enjoy the holiday season #030 | 00:12:35 | |
It’s 9 days until Christmas Eve. Partly exciting, partly terrifying. Why does it always manage to creep up on me so quickly, despite the best preparations? It got me thinking about the pressure we put on ourselves for everything to be perfect, so I thought that would be a great podcast topic at this time of year. The last couple of years, because of Covid, we didn’t have any visitors over Christmas, and I secretly loved it. I was of course sad not to get to see the people, but the rest of it I can live without. I didn’t have to clean the guest bedroom, or make exciting desserts, or worry if the table decorations looked amazing. I didn’t even have to worry about getting out of my pyjamas. It was so liberating, that I have decided to adopt a similar attitude this year.

| 06 Jan 2023 | What is tidying up stopping you from doing? #033 | 00:12:26 | |
What is tidying up stopping you from doing? We waste so much time every week tidying to try and find things, tidying to try and find places to put things away, tidying before we can clean, tidying to make a room feel more presentable and cosy. The amount of time we are wasting on tidying is incredible. And this is time that we could spend on things that are more important to us, our bigger goals. I became a professional organiser and Konmari® consultant in order to help other families like ours, and especially women like me, regain control of their homes and their lives, so that they no longer have to waste their time on tidying up. I am offering 3 free online live workshops starting next week, Tuesday the 10th of January 2023.

| 13 Jan 2023 | I can’t keep the house tidy, what’s wrong with me? #034 | 00:12:46 | |
I Can’t Keep The House Tidy, What’s Wrong With Me? Can I just start by saying there is nothing wrong with you. And can I also give you a reality check. Your home is no better or worse than thousands of others out there, and you thinking that you haven’t got a handle on the situation is also completely normal. Everyone I work with will say at some point that there home looks so terrible, and I am often looking round thinking, ‘well this is how my home looks like sometimes too!’. It’s called life. It gets in the way, it throws you a curve ball, or you just have to prioritise something else. And that’s ok. What’s not ok is if the situation is continually making you feel stressed and overwhelmed. This podcast episode looks at why our homes get cluttered in the first place, and what we can do about it.
