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.

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.

Why Everything Goes Wrong Before Everything Gets Better
Ever noticed how life seems to fall apart right before your biggest breakthrough? In this solo episode, I’m getting honest about the chaos that’s exploded lately—from (almost) burnout and ocular migraines to toddler sick bugs and Zooms in carparks—and why I still believe it’s all happening for a reason.

We’re diving into what it really means to stop settling, why you have to become the version of you who already has what you want, and how the universe will test you before your next level arrives. This one’s part personal update, part identity rewire—and if you’re currently in the thick of it, this episode is your permission slip to trust the mess and THE PROCESS!! 

Because you can’t manifest a new life while clinging to old habits, holey knickers, and “it’ll do” energy.

What you’ll learn:

Why chaos often strikes right before a breakthrough

How burnout shows up—and why I ignored every sign

The sneaky ways we settle (and how to stop)

Why manifestation isn’t about what you want—it’s about who you are

The energetic signals you’re sending without realising it

How to stop attracting chaos and start becoming your future self

What happened in my masterclass that blew people away
