This episode of The Space Creator Show goes far beyond “new year, new you” cringefest, because the real reason goals fall apart is not laziness or lack of discipline. Amy cuts to the psychological heart of why January feels like Groundhog Day: the change never starts with who you’re becoming.

Instead of shallow resolutions and over‑pressured to‑do lists, this episode reveals how your self‑concept and your environment work together… or against you. Amy explains the real reason most goals fail, how your home reflects your identity, and why mindset shifts are the first step to lasting change.

Featuring a transformational scripting tool Amy uses with high‑level clients, this episode reframes January from to‑do list to identity upgrade.

This week, I’m unpacking why that ‘dream home’ narrative we've all been sold might actually be wrecking your nervous system. Between rising living costs, the upcoming UK budget, and Rachel Reeves throwing shade on big property perks, now’s the time to rethink the “more is better” mindset.

I'm sharing my own experience of decluttering and selling my four-bed family home, moving in with my mum, and buying a small home as a single mum—and why, against all expectations, I’m genuinely buzzing about it.

We’ve been taught to believe that growing up means levelling up into bigger houses, more rooms, more stuff. But bigger doesn’t always mean better. And that pressure? It’s costing you time, peace, and let’s be honest—probably a whole Saturday morning in the garden you didn’t want.

Plus, I’m spilling the real tea on how you could save thousands by investing in proper storage and systems, rather than an extension or a move. Your square footage isn’t the problem—your clutter is.

What you’ll hear in this episode:

If the thought of moving house makes you want to lie in bed with the covers over your head, you’re not alone. Downsizing, decluttering and packing up years of life is not just a logistical nightmare.

It’s emotional.
It’s overwhelming.

… and it can be absolute carnage if you don’t have a plan.

That’s why I sat down with the fabulous Jo Jacob, Professional Organiser and founder of Benella Home Organisation. Jo’s moved countless families (and herself) through every kind of transition you can imagine: downsizing, retirement, bereavement, you name it.

She’s got ten years of professional experience plus her own very real stories of navigating a massive downsize, dealing with sentimental clutter, and even finding… wait for it… an elephant tusk and a skeleton in a client’s attic.

We’re also diving into:

✨ How to deal with sentimental items without drowning in guilt or storage boxes

✨ The one thing you must do before getting removal quotes

✨ How to plan your kitchen before you’ve even got the keys

✨ A genius trick for keeping your children’s height markings when you move

✨ The emotional side of leaving a family home and how to actually make peace with it

Have you ever looked at those “after” photos on Instagram and thought…

“Well, my house will NEVER look like that” 

You’re exactly who should listen to this episode. 

This week on The Space Creator Show, I’m joined by Juliette Parsons from @creatingspacewinchester to talk about the biggest myth in decluttering: the goal of making your home looking Instagram-perfect.

Spoiler: it shouldn't be.

In fact, aesthetics are often the least important part.

Decluttering is about creating a home that works for you, NOT for strangers on the internet. 

Juliette and I talk about ditching the guilt, letting go of “perfect” and finding systems that make life easier, even if they’re not photo-worthy.

You will also learn:

✨ What the real goal should be: less stress, more headspace

✨ How to create a home that works for your family

✨ When to call in a professional (and why it’s SO worth it)

✨ Why it’s normal to create more mess before you can enjoy your clutter free home

✨ What you can do to start now, even if it won’t look ‘finished’ straight away

What if your clutter wasn’t just “stuff” but a mirror for everything you’re scared to face?

In this deeply honest and moving episode, I’m joined by one of my incredible coaching clients and Pro Organiser Academy star, Karla from @klearmyspace. Karla is not only a vibrant and magnetic professional organiser in South-East London, but she’s also a mum, BBC TV expert, and now fully booked business owner, despite the odds.

From running workshops for £30 a day to now charging her worth and helping women transform their homes and self-worth, Karla shares how identity work, EFT tapping, and mindset shifts changed her life, and how they can do the same for you.

We also get real about money blocks, motherhood, business boundaries, and the emotional legacy of clutter. Karla opens up about her mum’s mental health and how that shaped her relationship with stuff, identity, and success. This one’s packed with wisdom, heart, and some serious truth bombs.

What you’ll learn:

✨ How EFT tapping helped Karla and her daughter build confidence and calm

✨ Why women (especially Black women) often struggle to feel worthy of success

✨ How Karla started her dream decluttering Business, Klear My Space 

✨ Karla’s mindset shift that took her from undercharging to fully booked

✨ The emotional side of clutter and how it links to childhood, self-concept, and worth

✨ Why “spare room” is banned vocabulary and why junk drawers are a vibe

✨ What it's really like growing up with a parent who won’t let anything go

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “How did it get this bad?” you’re not alone. The toys, the dishes, the laundry, the mental to-do list that never stops. This episode is for the mums who are just plain overwhelmed and need permission to stop trying to do it all.

I sat down with Annie from Declutter with Delight to talk about what really happens when you let go of the guilt, the pressure, and the piles, and start creating a home that supports your real life, not your Pinterest board.

We’re digging into:

This one’s for the mums carrying it all, physically, mentally, emotionally, and wondering if they’re just not cut out for this. You are. You’re just doing it all alone.

If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, “Why is it so full, but still not working for me?”or if minimalism feels totally unrealistic unless you live alone with a single plant and a white sofa, this one’s for you.

This week, I’m joined by Shannon from @simpllivingco, a minimalist coach and professional organiser helping women in Sussex, Surrey and South London create calm, intentional homes that actually work for their real lives.

We talk about the moment one Netflix documentary changed everything for her, and why she intentionally downsized her whole life into one room. She shares her take on minimalism (spoiler: it’s not about living in a white box), the shopping habits keeping us stuck, and how to let go of guilt around sentimental stuff.

She also shares powerful stories from her work with clients, including navigating care home transitions and turning clutter into cash.

If you’ve ever wondered whether minimalism and motherhood can coexist, or felt like decluttering never sticks, press play. This chat is packed with real talk, identity shifts, and a fresh, grounded take on what intentional living actually looks like.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of your credit card after a tough week, found your space overwhelmed with impulse buys, or wondered why shopping didn’t fill the hole, it’s time for a recalibration.

I sat down with Alison Fish, Professional Organiser and founder of Tidy AF UK, to unpack how compulsive spending and clutter were symptoms, not solutions, and how she turned it all around. Alison now works 1:1 with clients across Lincolnshire & Yorkshire, guiding them from chaos to clarity by understanding their habits, motivations, and money mindset.

This episode is for anyone who’s realised that more stuff wasn’t the answer and feels ready to shift spending habits, reduce clutter, and reclaim control of their space, money, and mind.
