When you are a parent, every day can be unpredictable. Kids get ill, have accidents, don't react to things as you are expecting them to. Suddenly all your plans are thrown out of the window. As a parent of a special needs child this is even more often the case. In this episode I share my personal experience, and how organization has saved me from the unpredictability, and helped me deal with things more calmly.

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

In this episode I take a departure from traditional organizing topics, to talk to Gráinne McConnell about what it is like to relocate a family to a different country. As an expat myself, I know how difficult it can be, and Gráinne has worked in the corporate world, she has started her own business as a life coach, and she has relocated internationally three times, twice with small children. This episode is gold for anyone considering or struggling with relocation, or even just for some amazing advice on how to help kids deal with transitions, and how as a mum you can make new connections! There is something for everyone.

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. The papers that pile up, unopened letters, things that should have been safely filed, so they are easy to find when it comes to doing the dreaded tax return. Do you relate? This episode looks at the basic principles of using the KonMari Method® to declutter and organize paper. To read the original article go to How to KonMari Paper – KonMari | The Official Website of Marie Kondo or visit my website www.caroline-thor.com/podcast.

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. To read the original article, follow this link KonMari Is Not Minimalism – KonMari | The Official Website of Marie Kondo, or go to my website www.caroline-thor.com/podcast.

If you have ever wondered what it’s like to work with a KonMari® Consultant, then this is the episode for you. I worked with Grace back in September 2021 on her kids’ bedroom, and in this episode, we talk about why she asked me for help, how the process was for her, and whether there has been any benefit for her long term. It was fascinating for me to hear her reflect on how it has been, and I learned a lot about working with clients going forward. Have a listen and see if you relate to her pain points. She has found some great solutions!
