In this episode of The Festoon 500 Interviews, Dani Wallace sits down with professional declutterer and organiser Heather Tingle of Untangled by Tingle to talk about ADHD, autism, executive function and the hidden shame of doom piles, floordrobes and cluttered homes.Heather works mainly with neurodivergent clients, many of them late diagnosed, to drop the shame and build a home that works for their brain instead of against it. She shares why decluttering is not just about a skip and a clear-out, why neurotypical advice like lists, diaries and reminders so often fails, why there is so little support for people who look capable on the outside, and why sometimes a client does not need to remove a single thing.Dani and Heather also talk about the full tent at Ideas Fest, and the story behind DeclutterCon, the UK's first decluttering conference designed for neurodivergent people, created after Heather felt truly welcome at The Big Festoon.If you have ever felt like a failure because you can't keep on top of your home, this conversation is for you. It is not a personal failing, and there is help.HEATHER TINGLE, UNTANGLED BY TINGLEWebsite: https://www.untangledbytingle.comFree download: https://www.untangledbytingle.com/danipodFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/untangledbytingleInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/untangledbytingleLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heather-tingle-848a2531Podcast: Decluttering UntangledJOIN THE FESTOON 500The Festoon 500 is Dani Wallace's community of serious business people running serious businesses, built on the belief that we all do well when we all do well.

What if you took a health day instead of a sick day? In this episode of The Festoon 500 Interviews, Dani Wallace sits down with Emmaline McAndrew — The Slow Business Woman — to talk about building a business when your energy isn't reliable, why chronic illness changes everything about how you work, and why “success doesn't love speed.”

Emmaline helps women with limited or fluctuating energy — including those managing chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence — learn how to set up and run their own business, whether that's a freelance gig, self-employment, or a limited company. In this conversation, she and Dani unpack “the Great Unlearning” — the lifetime of social conditioning that teaches women to be quiet, be organised, and do it all — and why “work life balance” needs to become “work health balance” instead.

They also get into why professional boundaries work even when people hate them at first, why sharing the messy, unglossy parts of business builds a safer community than hiding them does, and Emmaline's challenge to every founder listening: take a health day, not a sick day.
