Ever wondered how your mental health can impact your ability to maintain a clean home? 
Join us, your hosts, Adam Richardson and Joe Haslam as we grapple with this question and more. 
I'll even reveal my secret to washing a sink full of dishes in a flash, while Joe bares his struggles with housekeeping. 
We'll get into the nitty-gritty of maintaining cleanliness at home, how it can boost your comfort levels, and how it sometimes takes a visitor or two to motivate you to tidy up.

Hear how she regained hope, with a little help from volunteers, and cleaned her way to a happier space. 
We explore the importance of recognizing the root cause of these struggles and how interventions can transform lives.
