There's a bit of a phenomena post-COVID that we thought we'd chat about today - the concept of Revenge Shopping.

What is revenge shopping, why do we do it and can it be a problem?

Whether it's cookbooks, clippings or scrapbooks, most of us have at least some recipes in our homes.  And some of us probably have an unhelpful amount (including Bec & Tara!!!).

So this week we're tackling what recipe clutter is and why we have it. And then next week we'll help you solve the problem!

So... we had no idea what Sophrology is until this episode!

It's actually been very well-known and practised in some European countries for decades, and so we thought we'd all learn together because it's got a lot in common with other things we've learned about like meditation, yoga and mindfulness.

We're guided by the lovely Marianne De Kleer and you can find her website here.

There are some similarities and differences between hoarding, Hoarding Disorder, and Collecting.

If you've ever wondered how to differentiate between them, this episode should help!

This episode is about triggers that prompt you to do a declutter or a re-organise.  Using triggers can be a valuable tool both in a slow-and-steady decluttering way, or when you're in maintenance mode.

Bec and Tara will help you identify any triggers you may have, or some you can use in a new way to help you on your decluttering journey.

Bec recently went on a much-needed holiday by herself, and it got Tara thinking that it would be worth exploring the merits and possibilities of getting away by yourself. So in this episode we discuss how you might take a solo break to recharge, and give you some ideas for how you might carve away a little solo time for yourself.

This episode addresses some of the items that our listeners have trouble finding homes for.  We give you some ideas on where you might stash some of those items, and also re-visit the "why" around having homes for things.

Have you ever felt an inexplicable craving to go shopping and buy stuff? Or had the urge to buy something impulsively when you are shopping?  Both Bec and Tara have - and this week we chat about why it's such a human thing to do, and how to understand and possibly prevent it from happening to an unhelpful extent.
