If your mornings feel chaotic, transitions are a daily battle, or your autistic child struggles with unexpected changes — you are not alone. And the good news? You can create gentle, flexible routines that actually support your child and reduce your own stress.

In this episode, we’re talking all about routines and predictability — why they’re so important for autistic children, and how to build them in ways that are realistic, customizable, and actually work in real life (not just in theory).

Did you know that clutter can actually increase sensory overwhelm and anxiety for autistic children — even when they don’t seem bothered by it? In this first episode of my special series for World Autism Acceptance Month, I’m exploring how our home environments can either support or stress out our kids — and how small changes can make a big difference.

I’ll share what I’ve learned through personal experience as a mum of a child with autism and PDA, and offer simple, practical ways to create a sensory-friendly, low-stress home that works for your child and your family — no perfection required.

Spring is here, and with it comes the urge to refresh, reset, and clean. But let’s be real—spring cleaning is a nightmare when your home is full of clutter.

How many times have you tried to clean, only to waste time moving piles of stuff from one spot to another? Scrubbing around clutter isn’t cleaning—it’s just rearranging the mess.

I’ve been there. And I know the frustration of feeling stuck before you even begin.

But here’s the good news: You don’t need more cleaning hacks—you need a better decluttering strategy.

If you’ve ever spent way too long searching for that one special picture—or worse, feared losing your family memories forever—this episode is for you.

It’s time to change that.

In this episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I sit down with photo organizing expert Megan from Megnanimous to break down simple, stress-free strategies to declutter, organize, and actually enjoy your photos—without spending hours sorting.

What if you had to step away from running your home for an entire week? Would everything fall apart—or keep running smoothly?

I just spent a full week in bed with the flu, completely unable to do anything. No tidying, no cooking, no keeping up with daily life. And yet, my home didn’t descend into chaos. Laundry got done, meals were made, and everything just worked.

Feeling overwhelmed by the chaos at home?
Let me, Caroline Thor, guide you through an eye-opening journey toward a clutter-free, peaceful living space by embracing a powerful mindset shift—Mel Robbins’ Let Them Theory. Imagine releasing the weight of social pressures and perfectionism to create a home that truly feels like yours.

In this episode of the Living Clutter-Free Forever podcast, we’ll explore how the Let Them and Let Me mindsets can transform the way you approach home organization, helping you cultivate emotional peace and a space that reflects your true needs and values.

Does your child struggle to keep their space tidy? Do you feel like you’re constantly nagging, yet nothing changes?

You’re not alone. Kids with ADHD and other neurodivergent traits often find home organization overwhelming. Executive dysfunction, out-of-sight-out-of-mind tendencies, and clutter blindness make traditional decluttering and tidying strategies feel impossible.

But what if I told you there’s a way to make organizing easier—without the meltdowns, the frustration, or the endless battles?

In this week’s episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’m joined by Penny Williams, a parenting coach specializing in neurodivergent families. We dive into practical, strengths-based declutter strategies that help ADHD kids (and their parents!) create a clutter-free home without feeling overwhelmed.

But here’s the good news. Decluttering doesn’t have to cause tension—it can actually strengthen your relationship.

In this episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’m sharing 7 proven strategies to help you and your partner navigate different decluttering styles without resentment or stress.
