Organizing in special needs families #01822 Sep 202200:16:51

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.

Why decluttering is a form as self-care #01715 Sep 202200:11:21

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

What KonMari® is not! #01211 Aug 202200:09:39

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.

3 Strategies to find the time to declutter and organize your home #00701 Jul 202200:18:24

We all have the same number of hours in a week. 168 to be exact. I hear so often from friends and clients, that they don’t have time to do x, y and z.

In this podcast I talk about practical ways to manage our day to make it possible to find time for those things we would love to be doing, but never find the time for.

Ready for a fresh start? How to create a home that supports your wellbeing with Michele Akester-Marsh #10427 May 202400:53:24

Ever found yourself drowning in the disarray of motherhood, where every corner of your home seems to be bursting at the seams with clutter? I, Caroline Thor, was once there too, until I stumbled upon the art of mindfulness and organization. Join me and my special guest, the compassionate holistic self-care coach Michele Akester-Marsh, as we weave through the transformative journey from chaos to clarity. In this  conversation, we not only share our personal experiences but also offer up actionable tips for you to navigate the often-overlooked pressures of perfectionism and create a serene sanctuary for your family.

As moms, we're no strangers to the daily dance between to-do lists and the spontaneous whims of our children. This episode peels back the curtain on how embracing the present moment can fill our days with joy, rather than the stress of unchecked boxes. Michele and I reflect on the magic that unfolds when we align our actions with intention, letting go of rigid schedules in favour of a rhythm that resonates with our family's heartbeat. We uncover the subtle, yet profound, influence of mindfulness on our home's atmosphere, and how simple practices can ripple into a collective family effort for peace and order.

Rounding off, we take a candid look at the trap of perfectionism and how redefining our relationship with imperfection can unlock a life of fulfillment.  If you're yearning for tranquility amidst the whirlwind of parenting and dreaming of a lifestyle that embraces nature's beauty, this conversation holds the compass to guide you there. Let's walk this path together, finding freedom in the perfectly imperfect journey of life.

Do You Live With Someone Who Loves Organized Chaos? How To Let Them Be And Not Get Overwhelmed By Their Clutter with Jonnie Fielding #9020 Feb 202401:00:47

Do you struggle to motivate your kids to tidy? Do you secretly enjoy being surrounded by clutter? 

Tune in as my brother Jonnie and I reminisce on our childhood and tidying as kids, as well as his experiences as a stepdad, and how he has had to navigate the difficulties of getting a kid to want to tidy up the mess they make. There are also his tales from Bowl of Chalk, his London walking tour business, revealing how even the most disorganized spaces can inspire the most detailed plans.

As a mom, I've been to battle with toys, laundry, and the mysterious items that seem to multiply in every corner of the house. Jonnie and I discuss the art of keeping a home in check amid the chaos of family life, offering up our strategies on maintaining sanity with simple systems and tidying games that make it a family affair.

We discuss how selective organization can mean letting go of perfection in one area to focus on where it counts.

Our quote frankly rambling conversation covers random topics like thank you card etiquette, the privacy of a teenager’s room, and the often humorous mismatch between a parent's vision and a child's reality when it comes to room organization.

My brother and I can talk for hours, so advance warning, this is a long episode! (and I cut alot out!)

3 Ways Decluttering is a Form of Self-Love, and How to Get Started and How You're Missing Out #08806 Feb 202400:13:57

Join forces with me, Caroline Thor, as we embark on a life-affirming quest to declutter our lives, an act that goes beyond mere organization to touch the essence of self-care. Picture your home not just as a series of rooms, but as a canvas for your personality, a nurturing space where the absence of clutter magnifies peace, sparks joy, and enhances your mental clarity. In the heart of our discussion, we delve into the symbiotic relationship between a tidy space and an uplifted spirit, exploring the many ways in which the act of purging what no longer serves us can lead to a profound sense of self-love.  I'll share insights from studies linking organized living spaces to reduced stress, heightened cognitive function, and even improved sleep quality.

But it's not just about the destination; it's about the journey, too. I invite you to step boldly onto the path of intentional decluttering, to make that first empowering declaration of self-love through the KonMari Method®. Embrace the ripple effect of positivity in your life as we shape a home that reflects the very best of who you are. And for those craving community and ongoing motivation, our Living Clutter Free Forever podcast Facebook group awaits, a sanctuary of support where we can share our triumphs and challenges.
