Self-Improvement

In my curiosity over the summer break, I was able to slow down enough and listen to my heart. In this quietness, I realised that running this business doesn’t feel like freedom anymore for me or my family. 
From that revelation, I announce that Curious Freedom is closing its doors and ceasing operations in its current iteration.
While this decision has been heartbreaking in many ways, it has also brought a feeling of peace. Therefore, I know it is the right and timely decision.
I am going to be taking a period of time to rest and process what has been a massive few years for my family and me. In this time, I am hoping that dreams will start developing for what is next for myself and Curious Freedom. I believe my season of working in the decluttering and organising industry is finished, however there is still so much growth in myself and others that I want to champion. I am hopeful that Curious Freedom and the podcast will be reborn, but I am holding all of it loosely as I lay down this chapter and rest.
So what does this mean? 
Curious Freedom as a decluttering and support service will cease trading as of 29th February 2024. If you wish to access decluttering services and support, please get in touch before then to express your interest and we will connect you with individual team members who are continuing to offer these services. Our wonderful existing clients have already been notified of this change and their options moving forward.If you wish to be informed of any future rebirthing of Curious Freedom and the Curious Freedom podcast, then stay subscribed to emails and the podcast. Curious Freedom’s social media accounts will be deactivated, allowing me to reactivate them in the future.The Curious Freedom website will retain the podcast page so you can continue to access past episodes via the website.
 The words thank you simply don’t do justice to my gratitude for every single one of you. 
Some of you have been with me on my business journey since I first started as Feels Like Home Professional Organising eleven and a half years ago, and some of you have only recently joined. What a wild and wonderful journey it has been, and what a privilege it has been to have you along for the ride. 
For everyone who has a connection to Curious Freedom - the clients who have trusted us and invited us into their homes, the people who have listened to our podcast episodes, those of you who have followed along on social media and opened emails when they’ve landed in your inbox, and those who’ve reached out to share how much the work we put out into the world has impacted your life - my most wholehearted thank you. 
To all of my team, past and present, thank you for caring and supporting our clients and for doing the same for each other and me. My life is all the more beautiful because of your friendship.
I could say many more words, but for now, it is time for me to honour myself and my family and rest.
Here’s to staying curious about finding freedom in all areas of our lives.
With love and gratitude, Kirsty - Founder and Director of Curious Freedom

Curious about Keeping Your Family Organised

Join me, Kirsty Farrugia, in this latest episode, where I chat about the upcoming festive season, navigating the chaos with curiosity and freedom.
