Have you ever noticed how quickly things unravel at home the moment you’re not available? One sick day and suddenly the laundry piles up, the kitchen looks wild, and you’re answering questions from bed about where the scissors live. Why does everything depend on you? And what would your home feel like if it didn’t? In this week’s episode, I’m talking about a simple Messenger chat that completely shifted the topic I’d planned to record. It made me stop, take a breath, and ask myself the question so many of us avoid: What actually happens to the house when I go down? Because here’s the truth. Most women are carrying the entire mental load of the home. Every drawer. Every appointment. Every meal. Every tiny piece of clutter. It all lives in your head… until the day you can’t keep going. And that’s exactly why intentional home organization, simple declutter strategies, and systems that support the whole family matter so much. Not for perfection. Not for aesthetics. But for those weeks when you’re sick, exhausted, or simply need an afternoon where you’re not tidying, organising, or answering twelve questions in a row. In this episode, I’m sharing five tiny changes that help your home keep running when you can’t. Small shifts. Practical ideas. Zero perfectionism. Just real home organization that supports you, not the other way around. If you want to overcome overwhelm, create a calmer home, and set up organising systems that don’t fall apart the moment you rest, this episode will really help you.

Dec 9

Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to declutter the entire house… in the busiest month of the year? And why does December always feel like the moment we should suddenly “get it together” with home organization, even when we’re already stretched thin? If you’ve ever wondered why big decluttering projects feel impossible in December, you’re not alone. There’s a real reason your organizing momentum disappears the moment the holiday chaos begins, and it has nothing to do with motivation. In this episode, I’m breaking down the hidden forces that make December the hardest month for declutter projects, tidying marathons, and anything that requires sustained focus. And more importantly? I’m sharing 6 simple things you can organize instead that will give you back your time, your calm, and your sanity. Because sometimes the smartest home organization strategy isn’t doing more... it’s doing what actually supports you in the season you’re in. If you’re tired of feeling behind, overwhelmed by clutter, or frustrated that your family life gets more chaotic this time of year, this episode is going to help you breathe again. I’ll show you how intentional, realistic organization can stabilise your days, reduce the noise, and make December feel lighter, without adding another stressful decluttering project to your plate. What if this month wasn’t about achieving more… but about protecting your energy? And what if the smallest organizational shifts could bring the biggest sense of relief? Inside, I'll walk you through gentle, doable declutter strategies that work with your real life, especially if you’re already navigating family routines, neurodivergent needs, and holiday overwhelm.

Dec 2

The holidays are supposed to feel joyful… yet so many of us are already exhausted before we even start. The plans. The food. The gifts. The clutter. It adds up fast, especially when you are juggling family life, organizing, and everything that comes with keeping a home running. But here is the thing I have learned. Holiday overwhelm does not come from one big thing. It comes from the hundreds of tiny pressures women carry alone. So in this episode, I am breaking down why this season hits so differently for so many of us, and what you can do to protect your peace without deep cleaning your entire house, staying up until midnight tidying, or performing for anyone. Want to know the real reason your brain spirals the second someone says “We might pop over”? Want to feel calm walking into December instead of drowning in mental lists and expectations? Inside the episode, I share five simple, realistic ways to choose calm over chaos. These are the same declutter strategies I use with my clients, ADHD friendly, intentional, and focused on overcoming overwhelm rather than creating more of it. You will learn how to shift out of perfection mode, create a home organization plan that actually supports you, and decide what really matters for your family this season. No shame. No pressure. Just practical organizing tips, mindset shifts that stick, and a new way of approaching the holidays that will not leave you burnt out. If you are craving a calmer Christmas, this one is for you.

Why does holiday gift giving feel so heavy every year? And why do we keep buying things that add clutter instead of joy? If you’ve ever found yourself overspending, overthinking, or overwhelmed by the pressure to “get it right,” you’re definitely not alone. This episode dives into the hidden mental load behind holiday gifting — the obligation, the expectations, the debt, the clutter — and why so many of us end up stressed instead of excited. But here’s the good news. It doesn’t have to be like this. In this conversation, I share 5 simple shifts that make gift giving feel meaningful again. No clutter. No guilt. No draining your finances just to keep up. Just intentional choices that actually support your wellbeing, your organization goals, and the home you want to live in. We talk about mindful gifting, realistic declutter strategies, and how home organization ties into the way we buy, give, and receive things. You'll hear practical ideas that help you stay grounded during the season, and help your family avoid the cycle of clutter long after the holidays are over. If you’re ready to feel calmer, clearer, and more in control during a season that usually overwhelms you… this one’s for you. Thanks for listening!

Do you ever sit down to work… and suddenly find yourself tidying the kitchen instead? Or waste half an hour shuffling through papers, even though you know the real project waiting for you is more important? You’re not alone. Clutter distractions, procrasticleaning, and the invisible mental load are stealing your focus. They drain your energy, slow your productivity, and leave you feeling guilty at the end of the day. But here’s the truth: it’s not about working harder . It’s about creating intentional systems that support you — in your home, in your work, and with your family. When you learn how to declutter your space and your mind, you free up the capacity to focus on what really matters. This episode is a little different. I’m sharing a recent conversation I had as a guest on Anne Rajoo’s podcast, Productivity Sweet Spot. Anne and I talked all about: Why clutter impacts productivity (and why some people feel it more than others) The hidden link between procrasticleaning and avoiding hard tasks Simple declutter strategies and home organization systems that make it easier to focus How to use KonMari-inspired routines to overcome overwhelm and keep family life running smoothly You don’t need a minimalist home or endless willpower to get organized. You just need realistic, intentional systems that actually work for you. Ready to break free from clutter distractions and reclaim your focus? Listen now.

Ever feel like your clutter has a backstory ? You open a drawer, a cupboard, or that one corner of the bedroom… and there it is again. That unfinished “someday” project. The half-started organizing task. The thing you swore you’d deal with one day… but never quite did. Let’s be honest— it’s not just stuff. It’s stress. It’s guilt. It’s mental clutter. And it’s quietly stealing your time, your energy, and your space to breathe. Why do these things weigh so heavily? And more importantly… How do you finally let them go—without feeling like you’ve failed? In this week’s episode, I’m sharing the real reason these lingering tasks feel so overwhelming—especially when you’re managing a family, a home, and the daily chaos of life with neurodivergent kids. And I’ll show you how to release that emotional weight using simple, intentional declutter strategies that actually work—even if you’re short on time and energy. You don’t need a full weekend. You don’t need to do it all perfectly. And you definitely don’t need to keep holding onto stuff that no longer fits the season you’re in. This is home organization for real life. It’s organizing with heart. It’s tidying that starts with self-compassion. If you’re ready to take back control of your space—and finally feel lighter —this episode is for you. 👉 And don’t forget to grab your free 15-Minute Declutter Kickstart —it’s the perfect way to get started right after listening!

This one’s personal. And if it hasn’t happened in your family yet—it will. One day, you might be the one helping your parent declutter decades of memories. Not just stuff... but the life they built around it. What do you say when they want to keep everything? How do you stay calm when emotions are high and time is tight? In this episode, I’m talking about something we rarely plan for—but it affects every family at some point. Whether your parent is moving to a smaller home, into care, or just facing the reality of needing less... the emotional and physical weight of that clutter is real. And so is the overwhelm . But there’s a better way to do it. With compassion. With clarity. And without chaos. I’ll walk you through intentional strategies , smart mindset shifts, and the simple organizing approach I’ve used (yes, even with clients going through this exact scenario) that combines KonMari-inspired tidying with real-life flexibility. This isn’t about doing it perfectly. It’s about making progress—with love. If you’ve been dreading this conversation or avoiding the boxes in the attic, this episode is for you. If your parent is still in good health, even better— now is the time to start gently and intentionally . Inside, I’ll share: ✔️ How to approach the process without triggering resistance ✔️ Why this moment brings up so much for both of you ✔️ What really matters when it comes to home organization at this stage of life You don’t have to do this alone. And you don’t have to do it all at once. Tune in now and get the support you need to declutter with care. Let’s make this part of your family’s story one of grace—not guilt. Thanks for listening!

Ever felt so overwhelmed by the clutter that you just want to throw everything out? I’ve been there. And trust me—so have the women I work with every day. The mental load, the lack of time, the mess that just. won't. quit. It builds up until decluttering turns from something intentional… into a frantic purge. But what if throwing it all away doesn’t actually make you feel better? What if that kind of all-or-nothing approach is keeping your home from truly working for you ? In this episode, I’m sharing a surprising (and hilarious) lesson about minimalism, home organization, and the KonMari method—straight from an episode of Family Guy . Yes, really. Because sometimes decluttering tips don’t come from a tidy drawer—they come from a cartoon dog and a talking baby. Here’s the thing: You don’t need a Pinterest-perfect space. You need a calm, functional home that supports your real life. Your neurodivergent kids. Your busy mornings. Your actual energy levels. In this episode, I’m diving into: What “organized enough” really looks like Why tidying doesn’t have to mean letting go of everything The sneaky trap so many moms fall into with declutter strategies And how to reclaim your space without making it feel sterile or empty Ready to stop organizing for someone else’s standard and start creating a home that actually works for you? Then hit play now. Because you’re not just decluttering… You’re overcoming overwhelm. One intentional choice at a time. 💥 Overwhelmed by clutter and mental load? You don’t have to do this alone.

Is your pantry full of peace... or panic? Have your ‘just in case’ buys become ‘just too much’? You’re not alone — and this week on The Living Clutter Free Forever Podcast , I’m getting real about something we don’t talk about enough: the hidden stress of stockpiling. We think we’re being practical. We think we’re saving money. But when those “just in case” cocoa powders, toilet rolls, and tins start taking over every shelf, cupboard, and corner… that sense of preparedness? It turns into pressure. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on how fear, rising tariffs, and a heavy mental load can drive even the most intentional women to overbuy — and how that can quietly sabotage our home organization goals. You’ll hear: Why stockpiling feels so good (until it doesn’t) How clutter builds behind the scenes — especially when you’re low on time What you can do today to start organizing your bulk buys without the overwhelm I’ll share real-life examples, practical declutter strategies, and a gentle mindset reframe to help you make space for what really matters. (Spoiler: it's not 50 packs of pasta.) If you’ve been craving a more intentional approach to your space — one rooted in the KonMari philosophy of choosing what truly serves you — this one’s for you. Because decluttering isn't just about tidying. It's about reclaiming calm. And that includes your stockpile shelf. Tune in now to discover how to stay prepared without drowning in clutter. Let’s declutter the fear and create the kind of home that supports you — not suffocates you. Thanks for listening!

Why is it that no one thanks you for emptying the dishwasher… but when someone else does it, it’s seen as a big deal? In this episode, I’m diving into something we don’t talk about enough — the mental load that women carry, especially when it comes to home organization. If you’ve ever wondered why decluttering feels so hard, or why tidying never seems to stick no matter how many times you try, this might be the conversation you didn’t know you needed. We’ll explore why asking for help at home still feels taboo, how shame creeps into our clutter, and what it really takes to create lasting change when you’re short on time, energy, and support. You’ll hear how I went from managing everything on my own — to building systems that actually work, and finding freedom through support, intentional routines, and a whole new perspective on home life. If you’re trying to declutter with no time, tired of doing it all solo, or craving real, practical organizing support rooted in the KonMari method and real life… this episode is for you. This is about more than just tidying. It’s about overcoming overwhelm, reclaiming your space, and remembering: you were never meant to do this alone. Thanks for listening!

👉 For a bit of extra support grab my free 15-Minute Declutter Kickstart HERE Discover how parenting a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) led me to a new, more realistic approach to decluttering, organizing my home, and letting go of perfectionism — lessons every overwhelmed parent can use. Have you ever felt like you're failing because your home doesn’t look like a magazine? Wondered why traditional organizing advice just doesn’t seem to work for your real life? Me too. Especially when autism, burnout, and daily survival were the reality — not pretty color-coded baskets. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Casey from At Peace Parents — a brilliant coach and mentor for families parenting PDA and neurodivergent kids. Together, we talk about how raising a neurodivergent child completely changes your relationship with tidying, decluttering, and home organization. It forced both of us to rethink everything we thought we knew — even my beloved KonMari practices. It made us ask: What really matters when you’re building a home? Matching cushions... or emotional safety? During Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to have this real, important conversation. Because whether you're parenting a child with autism, raising a kid with PDA, or just juggling the mental load of motherhood, you’ll find yourself somewhere in this story. You’ll walk away with a fresh, intentional perspective on organizing your home — one that prioritizes calm over perfection, connection over control, and sanity over spotless surfaces. If you’ve ever battled clutter, perfectionism, or the invisible pressure to "keep up," you need this episode. This is your permission to choose what actually works for your family — not what looks good on Instagram. Ready to let go and create a home that truly supports you? Let’s dive in. 👉 You can find out more about Casey’s work at At Peace Parents here: Website - At Peace Parents Instagram: At Peace Parents Thanks for listening!

What if letting go of clutter could give you more than just a tidy home? Have you ever gone on holiday and thought, Why can’t my house feel this calm and clear all the time? In this episode, I’m chatting with Melissa Pruitt—an online entrepreneur who spent a year travelling full-time, taking with her only what could fit in the car she shared with her husband and their dog (yes, really). When they finally opened their storage unit after 12 months on the road, what they found—and what they didn’t miss—sparked a massive declutter. We’re talking about the real cost of clutter, why we hang onto stuff we don’t need, and what happens when you finally ask: Do I even want this in my life anymore? Melissa’s journey is packed with powerful reminders—about intentional living, mindful tidying, and how the KonMari method and smart declutter strategies can completely shift how you feel in your space. If you’re overwhelmed, constantly tidying but never feeling “done,” or just sick of staring at drawers full of stuff you never use—this one’s for you. Let’s rethink home organization. Let’s simplify. Let’s stop waiting for the “perfect time.” Press play now and discover how to take back control of your space—without needing to pack up your life and hit the road (unless you want to).

Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents – World Autism Acceptance Month 2025 Decluttering is hard for so many kids — but for autistic children, it can feel downright impossible. That’s because what looks like “just stuff” to us often holds comfort, predictability, and emotional meaning for them. In this episode, we’re tackling the reality of helping your autistic child let go of toys, clothes, and school items without triggering meltdowns, power struggles, or distress. I’ll walk you through how to approach decluttering with empathy , structure , and practical tools that empower your child — not overwhelm them. Whether your child finds it hard to part with broken toys or outgrown clothing, or you’re simply feeling stuck, this is a gentle, realistic guide to making it work. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why letting go is so emotionally difficult for many autistic children How to use “thank you” boxes and keep boxes to reduce stress Tips for decluttering broken or outgrown items without overwhelm How to give your child control and choice when tidying their room The power of celebrating small wins and knowing when to stop for the day What to do with sentimental items that are too hard to let go of Plus, I’ll share how I’ve used these strategies with my own children, including my son with autism and PDA, and why creating a safe, supportive bedroom environment is far more important than perfection. Key takeaway: Decluttering isn’t about taking things away — it’s about making space for what matters. And when we make space with care and empathy, our kids feel more safe, more regulated, and more connected to their space.

What if you had to step away from running your home for an entire week? Would everything fall apart—or keep running smoothly? I just spent a full week in bed with the flu , completely unable to do anything. No tidying, no cooking, no keeping up with daily life. And yet, my home didn’t descend into chaos. Laundry got done, meals were made, and everything just worked. 👉 Why? Because of the systems and organization already in place. Medications were easy to find, the meal plan kept dinner stress-free, and the kids knew exactly where things were. This experience was a powerful reminder that home organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a home that supports you when you’re not at 100%. 💡 A well-organized home works for you during life’s curveballs—illness, work stress, or unexpected challenges. 💡 It dramatically reduces mental load, stress, and the overwhelming feeling of “catching up” when life gets hectic. 💡 Even small steps toward decluttering and tidying make a difference—you don’t need an Instagram-perfect home, just one that feels like a hug when you walk in. Want to know how I set up my home so it functions without me? Tune in now to learn practical, realistic declutter strategies that help you build a home that supports your future self. 🎧 Listen now and take one small step toward a clutter-free, stress-free home today!

How do you navigate a cluttered world when you can’t see it? It’s a question most of us never consider. But for Sarah Miloudi, a blind KonMari consultant, it’s a daily reality—and she’s thriving. In this week’s episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sarah to uncover her unique perspective on decluttering , tidying , and creating a clutter-free home despite having less sight than the average person . Her story is packed with wisdom on intentional living , overcoming overwhelm, and finding small wins in everyday organization. Ever wonder how you’d declutter your life without relying on vision? Or what strategies could turn your limitations into superpowers? Sarah reveals it all—how blindness shaped her approach to home organization , why the KonMari method is more than “sparking joy,” and the simple declutter strategies that can work for anyone, with or without a disability. This isn’t just about keeping a tidy home. It’s about rethinking how we interact with our space, designing systems that support us, and embracing the possibility of change—even when it feels impossible. 👉 Ready to transform your home and your mindset? Listen now and discover how Sarah turns obstacles into opportunities for a more mindful, peaceful life. Sarah’s journey to simpler living began more than a decade ago. After being diagnosed with a rare disease that caused sight loss, the benefits of living with less became clear. By building a year-round capsule wardrobe and applying an approachable version of minimalism to almost every aspect of her life, she curated a space filled only with the things that she loves and reduced stress and consumption along the way. Sarah created Edit & Reset after giving up a career in the City and she uses her training in the renowned KonMari Method® combined with her background in cognitive psychology, finance and behaviour change, to take clients on a handheld and supportive journey towards simplifying their space and changing their relationship with money.

Do you struggle to motivate your kids to tidy? Do you secretly enjoy being surrounded by clutter? Tune in as my brother Jonnie and I reminisce on our childhood and tidying as kids, as well as his experiences as a stepdad, and how he has had to navigate the difficulties of getting a kid to want to tidy up the mess they make. There are also his tales from Bowl of Chalk, his London walking tour business, revealing how even the most disorganized spaces can inspire the most detailed plans. As a mom, I've been to battle with toys, laundry, and the mysterious items that seem to multiply in every corner of the house. Jonnie and I discuss the art of keeping a home in check amid the chaos of family life, offering up our strategies on maintaining sanity with simple systems and tidying games that make it a family affair. We discuss how selective organization can mean letting go of perfection in one area to focus on where it counts. Our quote frankly rambling conversation covers random topics like thank you card etiquette, the privacy of a teenager’s room, and the often humorous mismatch between a parent's vision and a child's reality when it comes to room organization. My brother and I can talk for hours, so advance warning, this is a long episode! (and I cut alot out!)

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.

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. The title of the workshop is ‘ Why it's hard to keep your home tidy, and five easy ways to fix it .’ All you need to do to book your spot is CLICK HERE Thanks for listening!

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. Have a listen to what I've got organized!

I regularly find myself in the fortunate position of helping other people learn what it means for something to spark joy for them as they begin their tidying journey. But more often than not their first question is 'but what if everything sparks joy?' That's often been their problem. They have thought everything does up until this point, and it's a revelation to learn what it really means. This episode should start helping you understand what it means to you, with the help of quotes from some wonderful people who I have had the pleasure of meeting on my KonMari journey. I hope this episode sparks joy for you. Thanks for listening!

How often have you politely accepted a gift, said thank you, and later put it in a drawer never to be seen again? Homes all over the world are cluttered with unwanted gifts, and as we become more aware of how important it is that we live more sustainably, it is important we re-think our gift giving.

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. To download my free Don't Mention The C Word checklist click here .

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. To read Jane's blog that she mentions visit https://abcms.substack.com/ Thanks for listening!

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. Decluttering, organising, and creating systems in our home was the self-care I needed, and although I will happily admit to not being perfect on this front, it has made enough of a difference that life really does feel calm and easier. In this episode I look at 5 points that make decluttering a form of self-care. 1. Stress reduction 2. Improved lifestyle 3. Better work/life balance 4. Living more intentionally 5. Improved relationships Caroline Thor - Professional Organizer and KonMari® Consultant (caroline-thor.com) Thanks for listening!

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.
