🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/430
In this deeply compassionate episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle one of life's most challenging tasks with honesty and practical wisdom. They'll share the truths nobody mentions about sorting through a loved one's belongings, from managing family expectations to distinguishing between genuine sentiment and guilt-driven keeping. You'll discover strategies for pacing yourself, setting boundaries, and making decisions you won't regret later.
Ingrid and Lesley draw on their extensive experience as professional organisers to guide you through this difficult journey with sensitivity and understanding. They explore why this process intensifies grief in unexpected ways, how to establish ground rules that prevent family conflict, and the importance of starting with easier categories before tackling deeply sentimental items. Whether you're facing an imminent deadline or sorting through belongings in your own time, this episode offers invaluable support for one of life's most emotionally demanding tasks.
The conversation addresses the hidden challenges that catch people by surprise, from discovering unexpected contents in letters and diaries to managing well-meaning pressure from friends and family who don't understand why you can't just "get it done." You'll learn why it's crucial to avoid the trap of moving two houses into one, how to choose quality memories over quantity, and why taking breaks isn't a sign of weakness but rather essential self-care during an emotionally exhausting process.

In this episode, hosts Ingrid and Lesley reveal their brilliant strategy for tackling decluttering when time is tight. They've designed ten quick decluttering tasks that follow a natural flow through your home, so you can either grab five minutes here and there to tick off one task, or dedicate an hour to complete the entire circuit and achieve a satisfying whole-house reset.
These aren't just random tasks plucked from thin air. Ingrid and Lesley have carefully curated activities that genuinely make a difference to how your space looks and feels, starting from your donation station and moving through your car, hallway, kitchen, living room, and even your digital spaces. They share practical tips on creating systems that work, like establishing a proper umbrella home base and implementing pen recycling schemes. You'll discover why certain drawers are easier wins than others, and learn clever strategies for managing the endless accumulation of kitchen pens and digital clutter that quietly builds up in your camera roll and email inbox.
Throughout the episode, the hosts keep things realistic and achievable. They acknowledge that perfection isn't the goal, progress is. Whether you're a busy parent, a working professional, or simply someone who feels overwhelmed by the thought of decluttering, these bite-sized tasks offer a manageable entry point. The beauty of this approach is its flexibility. Grab a single five-minute slot whilst the kettle boils, or block out an hour on the weekend for a complete home refresh.

425 Say Goodbye to the Maybe Piles
18 september 2026 · 38 min
Are you stuck in a decluttering loop, endlessly moving items from pile to pile without anything actually leaving your home? Lees meer
Do you find yourself creating "maybe" piles that sit there for weeks, gathering dust and guilt in equal measure?
What if the secret to confident decluttering isn't about being ruthless, but about making clear decisions with the skills you have right now?
🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/425
In this episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle one of the biggest obstacles that keeps people from making real progress with decluttering. They'll show you why "maybe" is actually procrastination in disguise and share their practical approach to making decisions you can trust, even when you're not feeling entirely confident about letting go.
The hosts challenge the popular "if in doubt, throw it out" advice, explaining why it can be counterproductive for many people who are still building their decluttering muscles.

424 Raising Kids who get Decluttering with Inner Hub member Kate
11 september 2026 · 46 min
Do you ever worry your children are growing up surrounded by too much stuff and wonder how to break the cycle? Lees meer
What if you could raise kids who actually understand the value of less and feel empowered by decluttering?
How do you support ageing parents through downsizing when you're not physically there to help?
🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/424
In this episode, Ingrid and Lesley sit down with Inner Hub member Kate to explore how she transformed her relationship with possessions and is now passing those values on to her daughters. Kate reveals the practical systems and mindset shifts that help her busy family of four stay organised while her husband travels frequently for work, and she shares the surprisingly effective ways she's supporting her parents' downsizing journey from a distance.
Kate's story is particularly compelling because she didn't grow up in chaos. Her childhood home was clean and tidy, yet still accumulated far too many things. This contradiction shaped her understanding that clutter isn't always about mess, it's about volume. Through early exposure to donation drives and regular household resets, Kate developed a preference for fewer, more meaningful possessions. Now, she's intentionally creating a different environment for her own children, one where decluttering feels normal, empowering, and even enjoyable.
The conversation explores Kate's decision to join the Inner Hub membership after discovering the podcast. She offers a brilliant analogy, comparing the podcast to an amuse-bouche and the membership to a full, satisfying meal. Kate explains how the checklists, roadmaps, and searchable resources support her daily, weekly, and seasonal organisation routines, making decluttering feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

423 10 Things your Clutter is Trying to Tell You
4 september 2026 · 39 min
What if your clutter isn't just mess, but a message you've been ignoring? Lees meer
Could the unopened post piling up on your kitchen counter be telling you something important about fear and avoidance?
What deeper emotions might be hiding behind those overflowing wardrobes, untouched hobby supplies, or mysterious boxes that have sat unopened since you moved house?
🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/423
In this eye-opening episode, Ingrid and Lesley dive deep into the psychology behind clutter, revealing how your physical mess often reflects your emotional landscape. They'll walk you through ten powerful messages your clutter might be sending you, from identity struggles to grief, and from overwhelm to decision fatigue.
This isn't about judgement or calling anyone lazy. Instead, Ingrid and Lesley approach the topic with compassion and understanding, helping you recognise patterns you might not even realise exist in your own home. Whether it's the dreaded "room of doom" you keep firmly shut when guests visit, or the laundry mountain that never quite disappears, there's likely a deeper story behind the surface chaos.
Throughout their conversation, the hosts share relatable examples and practical insights that will help you identify which messages resonate most with your situation. From paperwork you're avoiding to sentimental items you can't let go of, from kitchen counters buried under everyday items to moving boxes that have remained sealed for years, each type of clutter tells its own story.
Understanding what your clutter is communicating is the first step towards meaningful change. Lesley and Ingrid also remind listeners about their upcoming September reset sessions starting on the 7th of September, offering support for those ready to tackle their clutter with fresh awareness and understanding.
