This week we get passionate about the holding zone! The what? So you have started decluttering and want to move your things onto their next home (op shop, specialty space, reselling), but you just haven’t gotten there yet; what do you do? You create a holding zone, of course! But where?
In this episode we:
● Challenge you to move things on from the holding zone to their next home by making frequent trips to your local op/thrift shop.
● Encourage you to set space and time limits for the 'holding zone' and not to give into declutter's remorse.
● Give you some tips for moving these items to their next home.
● And so much more...
We hope the conversation inspires you to make a small change and puts a smile on your face!

This week we chat about Tupperware (& other plastic containers!). We explain why we are like toddlers in more ways than one when we come into your home to help you, especially in this section of your home. We challenge you to critically assess what you do need in terms of plastic containers; we give you some great questions to ask yourself and helpful ways of organising your plastic containers. As always, we hope you learn, have a few giggles with us, and enjoy the conversation!

This week we speak to Amy's best friend, Jess Winnell, about Autism. Jess has kids on the spectrum and works for an organisation that helps families living with Autism. We chat about routines, caring for yourself as a parent of kids on the spectrum, and more. We also talk about how being decluttered and organised can help your whole family and that sometimes it is great to call for extra help. We do have a few giggles as we have two combinations of besties in this week's episode, so please extend your grace to us! As always, we hope you learn with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we get very passionate about Junk Rooms! This episode is filled with #truthbombs and #micdrops, like “Rooms without a purpose look like a room without a purpose”. We challenge the idea that it is indulgent to have a room dedicated to hobbies and inspire you to value yourself and your dreams. We’d like to encourage you to evict procrastination from your home by getting in and clearing out your junk room/basement/attic. We also give you some tips for decluttering, along with the pros and cons of going at it fast or slow. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we continue the conversation with the incredible Brooke McAlary (so if you still need to listen to last week's episode, do yourself a favour and listen!). Brooke is a podcaster, author, minimalist, and this week answer your questions for her. You wonderful listeners came up with some great questions about photos, community, their next home, slow travel, her kid's schooling while they travelled, how to encourage others in the decluttering journey, what she missed when travelling, running a business and who she'd invite to a retreat! This is another stellar conversation in which Brooke oozes wisdom and grace on this slow road she travels. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!
Thank you, Carly, Sophie, Mara, Karen, Jaymee, Amy, Rebecca, Rebecca, Kate, Jen & Erika, for your thoughtful questions!

This week we celebrate our 100th episode by interviewing the incredible Brooke McAlary! Brooke is a podcaster, author, and minimalist and shares with us what the catalyst for her lifestyle change was and how that has evolved over the years. We hear about how their family was able to sell the family home, move overseas for 15 months, and go on a book tour and family road trip. Brooke shares what is on her heart now and what is coming up for her.
As always, we hope you have a giggle with us (is swapping your possessions for iTunes reviews a good business plan?) and enjoy the conversation!
Thanks for the iTunes review Kmilha!

This week we chat about containers! We know so many of you love to dream of and buy containers to store all your things, so we wanted to discuss why containers are not the solution to all of your problems. Just by getting the correct container, you will not magically fix your clutter issue. We always recommend decluttering first and organising second; never organise what you can discard. The great thing about containers is that by storing items correctly, you can keep them in good condition, and it’s easy to find what you are looking for when you need something quickly. We firmly believe that if storage isn’t purposeful, functional and utilised, it does not add value to you or your home. This episode highlights Kirsty & Amy's differences and preferences regarding repurposing containers and labels. We give you tips on what to consider when deciding what type of containers you need around your home. As always, we hope you have a giggle (especially when we talk about Romper Room!) with us and enjoy the conversation!

This week we chat about the joy of LEGO! We talk about ways of decluttering it, from selling it to donating it and the difficulty of missing pieces! We also give loads of tips and questions to ask yourself when deciding the best way of storing and organising Lego. We chat about the way we declutter, store and organise in our own homes and how we have helped others in different ways. We both love Lego and know that so many of you do too. As always, we hope you have a giggle with us and enjoy the conversation!
We are so thankful for our review this week from Wendy Richdale!

We had a request to do an episode on cancer, and so we decided to interview our friend and course participant Amy Kelman. You can tell from this episode that we are friends as there are lots of smiles and giggles mixed into this serious topic! Amy K is so vulnerable and honest as she shares her journey as a breast cancer survivor. She gives some fantastic tips for when you receive a diagnosis, during treatment and as a survivor as well as tips for decluttering during the process. Amy K is super inspirational, and we hope that as a community, we can all take on the challenge of #dailylovelies and value your relationship with yourself! As always, we hope you're inspired and enjoy the conversation!
