This week we get passionate about repetitive clutter, you know those spaces you've decluttered but for some reason, it is groundhog day again!

In this episode we talk about the four major issues that contribute to clutter reappearing:

● You might have too much - it’s a quantity problem

● You might not have a suitable way to keep things - it’s a storage problem

● You have systems but you’re not sticking with it - it’s a habit problem

● You actively chose to ignore the problem - it’s a vision problem

● And so much more...

We hope the conversation inspires you to make a small change and puts a smile on your face!

This week we get passionate about the holding zone! The what? So you have started decluttering and want to move your things onto their next home (op shop, specialty space, reselling), but you just haven’t gotten there yet; what do you do? You create a holding zone, of course! But where?

In this episode we:

● Challenge you to move things on from the holding zone to their next home by making frequent trips to your local op/thrift shop.

● Encourage you to set space and time limits for the 'holding zone' and not to give into declutter's remorse.

● Give you some tips for moving these items to their next home.

● And so much more...

We hope the conversation inspires you to make a small change and puts a smile on your face!

This week we chat about Tupperware (& other plastic containers!). We explain why we are like toddlers in more ways than one when we come into your home to help you, especially in this section of your home. We challenge you to critically assess what you do need in terms of plastic containers; we give you some great questions to ask yourself and helpful ways of organising your plastic containers. As always, we hope you learn, have a few giggles with us, and enjoy the conversation!

This week we get very passionate about Junk Rooms! This episode is filled with #truthbombs and #micdrops, like “Rooms without a purpose look like a room without a purpose”. We challenge the idea that it is indulgent to have a room dedicated to hobbies and inspire you to value yourself and your dreams. We’d like to encourage you to evict procrastination from your home by getting in and clearing out your junk room/basement/attic. We also give you some tips for decluttering, along with the pros and cons of going at it fast or slow. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we continue the conversation with the incredible Brooke McAlary (so if you still need to listen to last week's episode, do yourself a favour and listen!). Brooke is a podcaster, author, minimalist, and this week answer your questions for her. You wonderful listeners came up with some great questions about photos, community, their next home, slow travel, her kid's schooling while they travelled, how to encourage others in the decluttering journey, what she missed when travelling, running a business and who she'd invite to a retreat! This is another stellar conversation in which Brooke oozes wisdom and grace on this slow road she travels. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

Thank you, Carly, Sophie, Mara, Karen, Jaymee, Amy, Rebecca, Rebecca, Kate, Jen & Erika, for your thoughtful questions!
