Check out the Clutter Breakthrough Transformation—details below!

You know that feeling when you've tidied, organized, maybe even KonMari’d the whole house… and two weeks later, it’s like you never even touched it?

Yeah. Me too. And honestly? It’s not your fault.

In this week’s episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’m calling out the cycle so many of us are stuck in: declutter – tidy – get overwhelmed – give up – repeat. And I’m giving you the 5 shifts that finally broke it for good.

Because decluttering and organizing can work for your family.
Even if you’ve tried before and it didn’t stick.
Even if your home feels like a tornado hit it most days.
Even if you’ve got neurodivergent kids, no time, or zero energy.

So why hasn’t it worked yet?
And what can you do differently—starting today—that actually makes it last?

I’m sharing what I’ve learned from my own experience (yes, I used to be overwhelmed by clutter too!) and what I teach every single week inside my Clutter Free Collective. These shifts aren’t about buying more storage boxes or spending hours a day tidying. They’re about mindset, habits, and small wins that build real change.

If you’re sick of starting over…
If you want to reclaim your space and your time…
If you’re ready to stop wondering “Why can’t I keep my home organized?” and finally do something about it—

This episode is for you!

Listen now and take the first step toward home organization that actually works.
Spoiler: it’s not about being naturally tidy. It’s about knowing what’s actually getting in your way—and shifting it, for good.

Let’s break the clutter cycle together.
You in?

(And if you're ready for even more support, check out the Clutter Breakthrough Transformation—details below!)

Yes, I'm ready to clear the clutter and keep it that way.

You're not lazy. You're not a mess. You've just been using a system that was never designed for you. Let's change that together in 15 minutes a day with easy micro wins!

See visible results in one space in 15 minutes. YES PLEASE

Even with distractions, start seeing progress before your next load of laundry is done! I'M IN!

For less than the cost of lunch, you can ditch decision fatigue and finally get your house and headspace back. YES, YES, YES!

How to organize IEPs and autism paperwork to save time and stress Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents Part 6 #153

5 april 2025 | 14 min

Is your house full of piles of papers, forms, and reports… but you can never find the one you need when it matters? You're not alone.

In this final episode of the mini-series for World Autism Acceptance Month, I’m talking about one of the biggest sources of stress for parents of autistic children — paperwork. From IEPs and school communication to therapy notes, medical assessments, funding forms, and everything in between, the amount of documentation we juggle can feel endless.

But here’s the good news: organizing it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

I’ll walk you through a practical, step-by-step process to declutter and organize your autism-related paperwork in a way that’s simple, sustainable, and supportive of your real life — even if you're neurodivergent yourself or have very little time.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why autism paperwork feels so emotionally heavy — and how to change your relationship with it
A simple method to sort and categorize everything (even if it’s stuffed in drawers and bags)
How to build a flexible system that works for your brain — digital, physical, or a mix
Smart tips like advocacy highlight sheets, visual sorting, and working folders
Why this small act of organization can help you feel calmer, clearer, and more in control of your child’s care

This episode is especially for you if:

You’ve ever torn the house apart looking for a form
You feel buried by IEPs and documents you don’t know what to do with
You want less stress and more clarity when advocating for your child

Whether you're raising an autistic child, a neurodivergent child, or just navigating a lot of life admin, this system will help you breathe easier.

If you’re the one carrying the full mental load of managing your home, caring for your autistic child, and trying to keep everything tidy — you are not alone. And you’re not meant to do it all.

In this episode, I’m diving into how to get the whole family involved in keeping the home organized — including partners, siblings, and yes, even your autistic child (when and where it’s appropriate). Because building a home that supports your child and your wellbeing starts with shared responsibility.

You’ll hear real-life examples from my own family of five (plus six pets!), and we’ll explore how empathy, expectations, and letting go of perfection can make a massive difference — not just in your environment, but in your stress levels too.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

How to delegate and share household tasks without rigid chore charts
Why teaching empathy helps siblings better support their autistic brother or sister
Creative and neurodivergent-friendly ways to make tidying up more doable (and even fun)
Why “good enough is enough” and how to let go of unrealistic expectations
What to do on the hard days when you just don’t have capacity — and how to bounce back with grace

Whether your home feels out of control or you’re just tired of doing it all alone, this episode is packed with practical ideas to help your family work as a team — with room for everyone’s differences.

🎁 Grab your free guide: The Frustrated Parents Guide – How to Get Your Kids to Tidy Up Without Them Really Realizing It

How to help your autistic child let go of clutter without stress or resistance Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents Part 4 #151

3 april 2025 | 11 min

Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents – World Autism Acceptance Month 2025

Decluttering is hard for so many kids — but for autistic children, it can feel downright impossible. That’s because what looks like “just stuff” to us often holds comfort, predictability, and emotional meaning for them.

In this episode, we’re tackling the reality of helping your autistic child let go of toys, clothes, and school items without triggering meltdowns, power struggles, or distress.

I’ll walk you through how to approach decluttering with empathy, structure, and practical tools that empower your child — not overwhelm them. Whether your child finds it hard to part with broken toys or outgrown clothing, or you’re simply feeling stuck, this is a gentle, realistic guide to making it work.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why letting go is so emotionally difficult for many autistic children
How to use “thank you” boxes and keep boxes to reduce stress
Tips for decluttering broken or outgrown items without overwhelm
How to give your child control and choice when tidying their room
The power of celebrating small wins and knowing when to stop for the day
What to do with sentimental items that are too hard to let go of

Plus, I’ll share how I’ve used these strategies with my own children, including my son with autism and PDA, and why creating a safe, supportive bedroom environment is far more important than perfection.

Key takeaway: Decluttering isn’t about taking things away — it’s about making space for what matters. And when we make space with care and empathy, our kids feel more safe, more regulated, and more connected to their space.

How to help your autistic child cope with transitions and change with this simple organization strategy Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents Part 3 #150

2 april 2025 | 11 min

Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents – World Autism Acceptance Month 2025

For many autistic children, transitions — even the small everyday ones — can feel overwhelming and emotionally exhausting. And when a bigger change comes along, like moving house or changing schools, it can completely throw them off.

In this episode, I’m exploring how organization can be a powerful tool to help autistic kids feel safer and more supported through transitions — whether it’s getting dressed in the morning or adjusting to an unexpected schedule change.

I share real-life examples from my own parenting experience (including a Friday that did not go to plan), and offer simple, actionable tips to prepare your child for change — and take the pressure off you too.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why transitions are so hard for many autistic kids (and how PDA adds another layer)
How to use preparation, routines, and visual cues to reduce resistance
What to say instead of setting timers if your child finds countdowns stressful
Practical ways to organize your day, your time, and your environment for smoother transitions
How to prepare for big changes like school moves or home moves
How to build in backup plans for unexpected disruptions — and why they matter

We also talk about why organization isn’t just about tidying the house — it’s about planning time, managing stress, and helping your autistic child feel secure in an unpredictable world.

Key message: When we plan ahead and create flexible, supportive systems, we give our children what they need to feel calm, prepared, and capable of handling change — and that benefits the whole family.

🎁 Download The Frustrated Parents Guide – How to Get Your Kids to Tidy Up Without Them Even Realizing It. Full of fun, neurodivergent-friendly strategies for building tidy-up routines without pushback.

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).

I share what I’ve learned as a mum of a child with autism and PDA, and offer practical strategies to help your family feel calmer, more prepared, and less reactive — even when life gets unpredictable.

You’ll learn:

Why routines offer emotional security and reduce anxiety for autistic kids
How to create effective morning, bedtime, and mealtime routines that are actually doable
What to do if rigid schedules or timers trigger your child (especially with PDA)
Visual tools and gentle language shifts that help children feel in control
The power of previewing transitions and using “first, then” prompts
Why consistency matters more than perfection — especially when days don’t go to plan

We also talk about how organization isn’t just about your physical space — it’s about managing energy, building emotional safety, and reducing the pressure on you as a parent.

Key message: When your routines work for your child and your life, everyone feels calmer — and that’s the foundation of a peaceful home.

🎁 Download my free guide: 15 Minute Declutter Reset for Moms of Neurodivergent Kids – designed to help you reduce clutter and create calm, 15 minutes at a time.

What can blindness teach us about mindful living? Wisdom from a KonMari organizer on navigating the world without sight #138

21 januari 2025 | 21 min

How do you navigate a cluttered world when you can’t see it?

It’s a question most of us never consider. But for Sarah Miloudi, a blind KonMari consultant, it’s a daily reality—and she’s thriving.

In this week’s episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Sarah to uncover her unique perspective on decluttering, tidying, and creating a clutter-free home despite having less sight than the average person . Her story is packed with wisdom on intentional living, overcoming overwhelm, and finding small wins in everyday organization.

Ever wonder how you’d declutter your life without relying on vision? Or what strategies could turn your limitations into superpowers?

Sarah reveals it all—how blindness shaped her approach to home organization, why the KonMari method is more than “sparking joy,” and the simple declutter strategies that can work for anyone, with or without a disability.

This isn’t just about keeping a tidy home. It’s about rethinking how we interact with our space, designing systems that support us, and embracing the possibility of change—even when it feels impossible.

👉 Ready to transform your home and your mindset? Listen now and discover how Sarah turns obstacles into opportunities for a more mindful, peaceful life.

Sarah’s journey to simpler living began more than a decade ago. After being diagnosed with a rare disease that caused sight loss, the benefits of living with less became clear.

By building a year-round capsule wardrobe and applying an approachable version of minimalism to almost every aspect of her life, she curated a space filled only with the things that she loves and reduced stress and consumption along the way.

Sarah created Edit & Reset after giving up a career in the City and she uses her training in the renowned KonMari Method® combined with her background in cognitive psychology, finance and behaviour change, to take clients on a handheld and supportive journey towards simplifying their space and changing their relationship with money.

You’re not alone—and I’ve been there too.

In this episode, I dive into the real reason so many of us struggle to declutter and organize: our mindset. Because let’s be honest—tidying your space starts with decluttering your thoughts.

Help you embrace small wins and build sustainable habits.
Reframe perfectionism so it doesn’t stop you in your tracks.

Decluttering for the holidays: How letting go brings emotional peace #128

12 november 2024 | 21 min

Are you feeling the weight of holiday overwhelm creeping in? The endless tidying, organizing, and that mental load of trying to make everything "just right"?

If so, you’re not alone. As women, we’re often carrying the expectation to create the perfect holiday experience—for everyone else. But what if I told you that a clutter-free home isn’t just about having a neat space—it’s a path to emotional peace? ✨

In this week’s podcast episode, "Decluttering for the Holidays: How Letting Go Brings Emotional Peace," I'm diving into how simplifying and letting go can lift the weight of holiday stress. Imagine stepping into the festive season without the endless “shoulds” piling up. Can you picture celebrating with less clutter and more genuine joy?

You’ll learn:

Why decluttering is so much more than just tidying up—it’s freeing up your mind and reclaiming your energy.
How a few focused steps in your home, inspired by the KonMari Method, can clear not only physical clutter but also mental and emotional clutter.
Practical tips for a holiday that’s stress-free, joyful, and truly meaningful.

We all deserve a holiday season that feels as good as it looks—one where you can actually relax, without the pressure of perfection weighing you down.

Ready to find peace in letting go? Let’s make this holiday season one to remember—not for how perfect everything looks, but for how peaceful it feels.

This episode could be life-changing for you. It’s time to break free from the cycle of clutter and embrace lasting organization.

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.

How to set up an enriching space for your child's creativity with Rebecca Picker #061

24 juli 2023 | 36 min

Do you find yourself drowning in a sea of your children's artwork and craft supplies? Get ready to turn the tide as we unravel how to efficiently manage, store, and display these creative masterpieces. I have the pleasure of hosting Rebecca from Studio Sprout, a seasoned art teacher with a knack for organizing chaos. She shares practical advice on how to set up a space that is both kid-friendly and aesthetically pleasing to adults. We also touch on recycling jars and containers to keep those craft supplies in check.

Once we've turned your house from organized chaos to a Monet wonder, it's time to take a brush to the process of art activities itself. Rebecca and I chart the course between encouraging creativity and managing the inevitable mess. We offer practical tips, from defining the space for art activities to the magic of a moist rag and a spray bottle that can help keep the mess contained and even involve the kids in the clean-up process.

Finally, we examine the heart of the matter - the art itself. How do you honor your child's creations while keeping them from taking over your whole house? Rebecca and I look at creative storage solutions and ways to display these works of art. We discuss products that allow you to shine a spotlight on your child's artwork without turning your home into a gallery. Beyond just organization, we talk about the importance of art in children's lives, how it allows them to express emotions, and builds invaluable skills like problem-solving and critical thinking. Join us as we paint a picture of an organized, encouraging, and inspiring art space for your little artists.

In this episode, we're talking all about how to turn your snack cupboard into a health haven for your family. As someone who loves to snack (and who doesn't, am I right?), I know firsthand how tempting it can be to reach for the chips or cookies when hunger strikes. But with a little bit of organization and planning, you can make sure that your pantry is stocked with nutritious options that will fuel your body and keep your family healthy.

Then, we'll talk about some easy swaps you can make to replace those less-than-healthy options with nutritious alternatives that taste just as good (if not better!).

Next up, we'll discuss how to organize your pantry in a way that makes healthy choices the easy choice. From labeling your shelves to using clear containers to store your snacks, there are plenty of tricks and tips you can use to create a pantry that inspires healthy choices.

Finally, we'll wrap things up with some meal planning tips and tricks that will help you stay on track and ensure that you always have nutritious options on hand, no matter how busy your schedule gets.

Whether you're looking to overhaul your pantry completely or just make a few small changes, this episode has something for everyone. So grab a healthy snack (I recommend some fresh fruit or veggies!) and join me as we learn how to turn our snack cupboard into a health haven.
