    429 Why your teenager won't tidy their bedroom
    Oct 16 2026
    Does the state of your teenager's bedroom leave you feeling frustrated and at a loss for what to do? Are you tired of the endless battles over mess and clutter in their personal space? What if there was a way to encourage tidiness without constant conflict and nagging? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/429 In this episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle one of the most common parenting challenges: the perpetually messy teenage bedroom. They reveal why this issue is about so much more than just untidiness, exploring the psychology behind why teens resist keeping their rooms organised and offering practical strategies that actually work. Ingrid and Lesley share their personal experiences and professional insights to help you understand that your teenager's bedroom mess isn't simply laziness or defiance. It's often tied to their need for autonomy, their developing identity, and the overwhelming pressures they face from school, friendships, and growing up. The hosts explain how to navigate this delicate territory whilst maintaining respect for your teen's only truly private space, all whilst setting appropriate boundaries that work for the whole household.

    428 Living your best life in just 200 square feet with Kristy Halvorsen
    Oct 9 2026
    Could you really let go of almost everything you own and live comfortably in just 200 square feet? What would it take for you to trade a three-bedroom home for an Airstream and a life on the road? How does downsizing to the extreme change not just your possessions, but your entire perspective on connection, community, and what truly matters? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/428 In this eye-opening episode, Ingrid chats with Kristy Halvorsen, who made the bold leap from homeowner to full-time Airstream dweller. Kristy shares the honest, sometimes messy reality of letting go of a lifetime of belongings and discovering what it truly means to live with less. You'll hear practical strategies for decluttering in waves, the surprising lessons about minimalism versus actual minimalist living, and how embracing radical downsizing can open doors to freedom, connection, and adventure you never imagined possible. Kristy's journey began after health challenges from her career as a firefighter and paramedic forced her to rethink everything. What started as a need for change became a transformative adventure that challenged her assumptions about what she needed to be happy. Her story offers valuable insights whether you're considering a dramatic lifestyle change or simply looking to lighten your load and create more space for what matters most in your life.

    427 10 five minute decluttering tasks for when you have no time
    Oct 2 2026
    Ever feel like you just don't have time to declutter, but your space is starting to overwhelm you? What if you could make a visible difference to your home in just five minutes? Could completing ten quick tasks in an hour completely reset your space and give you that fresh start you've been craving? 🔗 Read / Listen more: https://declutterhub.com/427 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.
