Marie Kondo Said What?!

If you have seen the press recently you will see they have been having a field day that Marie Kondo  said some things they were not expecting! That she has ‘kind of given up’ on tidying up.  They have been getting themselves a bit over excited about it, and I think it’s brilliant. In this episode I explain what’s been happening, how the media have been twisting the message, and I also chat to another KonMari Consultant Nazanine from The Tidy Wonder about what’s been going on. Hear our perspective and a whole lot more in this brilliant episode.

I Can’t Keep The House Tidy, What’s Wrong With Me?

I Can’t Keep The House Tidy, What’s Wrong With Me? Can I just start by saying there is nothing wrong with you. And can I also give you a reality check. Your home is no better or worse than thousands of others out there, and you thinking that you haven’t got a handle on the situation is also completely normal. Everyone I work with will say at some point that there home looks so terrible, and I am often looking round thinking, ‘well this is how my home looks like sometimes too!’. It’s called life. It gets in the way, it throws you a curve ball, or you just have to prioritise something else. And that’s ok. What’s not ok is if the situation is continually making you feel stressed and overwhelmed. This podcast episode looks at why our homes get cluttered in the first place, and what we can do about it.

What is Tidying Up Stopping You From Doing?

What is tidying up stopping you from doing? We waste so much time every week tidying to try and find things, tidying to try and find places to put things away, tidying before we can clean, tidying to make a room feel more presentable and cosy. The amount of time we are wasting on tidying is incredible. And this is time that we could spend on things that are more important to us, our bigger goals. I became a professional organiser and Konmari® consultant in order to help other families like ours, and especially women like me, regain control of their homes and their lives, so that they no longer have to waste their time on tidying up. I am offering 3 free online live workshops starting next week, Tuesday the 10th of January 2023. The title of the workshop is ‘Why it’s hard to keep your home tidy, and five easy ways to fix it.’ All you need to do to book your spot is CLICK HERE

It Doesn’t Have To Be Perfect

It’s 9 days until Christmas Eve. Partly exciting, partly terrifying. Why does it always manage to creep up on me so quickly, despite the best preparations? It got me thinking about the pressure we put on ourselves for everything to be perfect, so I thought that would be a great podcast topic at this time of year. The last couple of years, because of Covid, we didn’t have any visitors over Christmas, and I secretly loved it. I was of course sad not to get to see the people, but the rest of it I can live without. I didn’t have to clean the guest bedroom, or make exciting desserts, or worry if the table decorations looked amazing. I didn’t even have to worry about getting out of my pyjamas. It was so liberating, that I have decided to adopt a similar attitude this year. Have a listen to what I’ve got organized!

What If Everything Sparks Joy?

I regularly find myself in the fortunate position of helping other people learn what it means for something to spark joy for them as they begin their tidying journey. But more often than not their first question is ‘but what if everything sparks joy?’ That’s often been their problem. They have thought everything does up until this point, and it’s a revelation to learn what it really means. This episode should start helping you understand what it means to you, with the help of quotes from some wonderful people who I have had the pleasure of meeting on my KonMari journey. I hope this episode sparks joy for you.

When Life Throws You a Curve Ball

You know how life can throw you a curve ball? That’s been the case in our family this week. Sometimes, something has to give. Life is not perfect, and nor should it be. I don’t live in some picture-perfect Instagram life. In this episode I talk about how knowing what sparks joy for you is so important when things get hard, and how aiming for progress not perfection makes life so much easier. I hope you enjoy this somewhat shorter than usual episode.

Clutter Free Christmas Gifts

How often have you politely accepted a gift, said thank you, and later put it in a drawer never to be seen again? Homes all over the world are cluttered with unwanted gifts, and as we become more aware of how important it is that we live more sustainably, it is important we re-think our gift giving. What are we teaching our children by giving them so many gifts just for the sake of them having something to unwrap on Christmas? In this episode I explore clutter free gift ideas for family members of all ages.  If you would like an amazing list of clutter free Christmas gifts to give you ideas, then click here.

Don’t Mention The ‘C’ Word

I am not a big fan of the ‘C’ word, or at least I don’t want to be hearing it until it’s at least December! That said, pre-preparation, starting in November, makes life so much easier, and allows for a calmer and more enjoyable Christmas (there I said it!). In this episode I will share with you my top tips and tricks for things you can already be doing to buy you more time, and make the whole event the wonderful and relaxing family time it can and should be. Whether your family choose to spend the whole day in their PJs, or whether you are in full party mode with extended family, the little (and I mean little) things you do now to organize yourself, can make all the difference. So, just for you, I have broken my ‘no C word before December’ rule, and I hope you find it helpful.

EPISODE 24 –

Organized for MS

This episode is special for a couple of reasons. Firstly I got to reconnect with my old school friend Jane Gould, who I have stayed in touch with over Facebook, but I have not actually seen for over 20 years, and secondly, because it gives me the chance to use my podcast to raise awareness of issues that we perhaps don’t usually give much thought to. Jane was diagnosed with MS over 20 years ago, and now in a wheelchair, she talks to me about the difficulties of navigating her home in a wheelchair, and the clever organizational solutions she has developed to make her life easier. We hope that this epiosde will raise awareness of MS, and help other people in Jane’s situation.

EPISODE 18 – Organizing in Special Needs Families

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. 

EPISODE 17 – Decluttering As Self-Care

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

EPISODE 16 – Organized Relocation

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.

EPISODE 15 – Living Sustainably

Sustainability is so important, especially in the current situation of climate change. Anything we can do to live more sustainable lives has a positive knock-on effect for the environment. In this episode based on the article 8 Ways To Live More Sustainably, I will talk about practical changes that you can make, leaving you not only more organized, but living a more sustainable life.

EPISODE 14 – Organizing Paper

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 www.konmari.com/how-to-konmari-paper/

EPISODE 13 – Organized Move

This episode is the second in a 4 part mini-series based on articles from the official KonMari website. It is said that one of the most stressful things people do is move house. There are so many things that are out of your control, but the one thing you can take control of and make joyful rather than stressful is the packing and unpacking. Based on the article Marie’s Guide to Moving, this episode will look at the tips and tricks to make your move go smoothly. To read the original article go to Marie’s Guide to Moving – KonMari | The Official Website of Marie Kondo

EPISODE 12 – What KonMari® is Not!

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.

EPISODE 11 – Organized For Outside Living

We spend so much time in our outdoor spaces in the summer, that it can often be that they start to feel cluttered or untidy, or simply don’t work for us on a practical level, if we haven’t got the storage solutions right. In this episode I will talk about how to store things, some of the pitfalls, and a few tips and tricks to make you life easier. Here’s to joyful summer living!
