In this deeply personal episode, Ingrid and Lesley share the wisdom they wish they'd possessed in their thirties. They explore how understanding the connection between emotional wellbeing and clutter could have transformed their approach to creating organised, peaceful homes during life's busiest phase.

The hosts delve into the unique challenges of the thirties - juggling career ambitions, family responsibilities, and home management whilst navigating emotional shopping patterns and perfectionist tendencies. Through candid personal anecdotes, they reveal how establishing simple daily routines and recognising the impact of mental health on our relationship with possessions can create lasting positive change.

This conversation addresses the reality that even decluttering experts face struggles with organisation and wellbeing. Ingrid and Lesley discuss how embracing progress over perfection, prioritising meaningful friendships, and adapting to life's inevitable changes can lead to more sustainable decluttering success and improved mental health.
