Be Uncluttered: Recent Episodes
Rebecca Mezzino and Tara Tuttle
Bec and Tara discuss how you can remove physical and psychological clutter from your life so that you can live with clarity and intent.
This week we are finishing up the podcast with a chat about our experience, our favourite moments, favourite episodes and random stuff.
We also decided to do this one raw, with no edits so you can do a drinking game around how many times Bec says "um" and loses track of her thoughts and Tara says "so..." and bumps her mic.
Thanks for listening, reviewing, donating, sharing, connecting and more. We have loved this chance to connect with you.
Please stay in touch! Just because we aren't recording anymore doesn't mean we aren't around and happy to chat to you.

Backsliding is a part of growth, and so you most definitely will backslide on your decluttering and simplifying journey. It means that you go backwards a bit - forgetting a new habit, letting old behaviours slip back into your day, making mistakes and messing up.
In this episode we explore how backsliding works, and how to deal with it when it crops up (because it will!).

Matt Paxton is one of the top cleaning, downsizing, decluttering, and hoarding experts in the US. He now hosts the Emmy-nominated PBS show Legacy List with Matt Paxton, after having been featured on HBO's Hoarders for 12 years.
Bec had the pleasure of chatting to Matt for this week's episode, which is promoting his newest book "Keep the Memories, Lose the Stuff" which is available now, but they actually chatted about a lot more than just the book!
If you have family, and you have stuff, this is the episode for you!

It's summer in Australia and Bec is in holiday mode (and Tara still has the Aussie habit of wanting to take January off work!) so we are taking a "half break" and we have planned a series of short episodes are all themed around the Habits of Uncluttered People- these are habits that Bec and Tara have identified as being held by people who don't have any clutter.
Perhaps they might be habits that you could think about implementing too, if you'd like to be a little less cluttered.
This week's habit is "Internal Self Worth".
Next week we're back to our usual programming with a great guest and quite a long episode!

Peggy Fitzsimmons believes that our soul and understanding who we truly are, are the keys to releasing ourselves from clutter. This week Tara chats with Peggy about the work she does, her book, and her insights into decluttering from within.

This week we are talking with Narelle King from Simply Happy about Yin & Nidra Yoga, two complementary but different styles of yoga that she teaches that both have great health and wellbeing benefits. You can find out more about her on her website and you can watch her free videos here.
Apologies for the quality of Bec's audio in this one - her PC decided to ignore her good mic and instead use the webcam's mic so she sounds a bit tinny.
Shout-out to those that have left reviews for us this year - we keep forgetting to mention them but we love getting them and read them all more than once, and share them with each other with delight. You're all so lovely!

If you read the stats (don't worry - Tara will read them for you!), the holiday season is a time of high volumes of waste.
This week Tara chats to Ann-Marie Bonneau, the Zero Waste Chef, about how to reduce waste this Christmas season - from decorations, to wrapping and food.

What is revenge shopping, why do we do it and can it be a problem?

Whether it's cookbooks, clippings or scrapbooks, most of us have at least some recipes in our homes. And some of us probably have an unhelpful amount (including Bec & Tara!!!).

So... we had no idea what Sophrology is until this episode!
It's actually been very well-known and practised in some European countries for decades, and so we thought we'd all learn together because it's got a lot in common with other things we've learned about like meditation, yoga and mindfulness.
We're guided by the lovely Marianne De Kleer and you can find her website here.

This episode is about triggers that prompt you to do a declutter or a re-organise. Using triggers can be a valuable tool both in a slow-and-steady decluttering way, or when you're in maintenance mode.
Bec and Tara will help you identify any triggers you may have, or some you can use in a new way to help you on your decluttering journey.

Bec recently went on a much-needed holiday by herself, and it got Tara thinking that it would be worth exploring the merits and possibilities of getting away by yourself. So in this episode we discuss how you might take a solo break to recharge, and give you some ideas for how you might carve away a little solo time for yourself.

Have you ever felt an inexplicable craving to go shopping and buy stuff? Or had the urge to buy something impulsively when you are shopping? Both Bec and Tara have - and this week we chat about why it's such a human thing to do, and how to understand and possibly prevent it from happening to an unhelpful extent.

We're so happy to have been sharing this project of ours with such wonderful listeners - you're all so lovely and funny and kind.
This week we thought we'd turn the tables and invite one of our listeners to interview us, to celebrate you all.
Jess asked great questions that I'm sure you also might have asked in the same position so settle in and enjoy!

This week we are excited to be talking to the wonderful Brooke McAlary from The Slow Home Podcast about her new book "Care".
We chat about Brooke's journey from a person who told herself a whole lot of stories about what life was meant to be like, pushing herself to the limit (and over it!) to achieve what she thought she was meant to achieve, to someone who is leading the way in the Slow Living Movement (and of course being much happier in her own life, the main aim).
We also discuss Brooke's third book "Care", which is available now in Australian & New Zealand bookstores everywhere, and The Book Depository and other international stockists for those in the rest of the world. All details can be found here.

TW: this episode contains discussion of eating disorders.
This week Tara chats with bestselling author Iona Holloway about perfectionism. Iona talks about her own struggles with perfectionism and has a way of looking at it that we hadn't thought about before.
So it's not your usual perfectionism discussion about not doing everything to 110%. This is for those of you that are "hiding in plain sight" behind perfect achievement, a perfect image, perfect home, perfect career or perfect body, to help you show up and take up the space that the real you should be taking up. It's really interesting!
Iona can be found here if you'd like more information and the Amazon link to her book is here.

"Hoarding" isn't just one behaviour with one cause. It's also not a label that needs to go on every cluttered person or environment, either.
There are a lot of conditions, neurodiversities, disabilities and behaviours that can be mis-interpreted as hoarding behaviours or Hoarding Disorder itself.
This week, we explore them and look into how maybe what looks like hoarding is actually something else dressed up as hoarding.

Karly Nimmo (podcaster, business coach, voiceover artist and content creator) started going grey when she was a teenager. And when she turned 40 she finally did what she had wanted to do for a decade - she stopped colouring her hair.
Bec and Karly chat about what happens when you show up in the world at 40 with a full head of grey hair. They discuss why Karly decided to do it, what her experience has been like, and what it has to do with being uncluttered.
Karly is really active online so you can get to know her there. All her socials can be found at www.karlynimmo.com/connect and definitely give her podcast Karlosophies a listen as well (her latest, titled "Curating the content of your life") talks about contentment actually - tying in with our recent episode).

You may or may not have heard of hygge before - a Danish phenomena (not the best word but it's not just a word, it's a feeling, a way of doing things) that embodies warm, cozy, homey, nostalgic comfort.
So this week Bec and Tara discuss hygge - what it means, why you might like it and how you might inject some of it into your own life.

There are three things that most (all?) uncluttered homes have. So if you're cluttered, and you don't have these, maybe it might help? It's worth a shot!
Also, for the non-Australian listeners, here is another opportunity to laugh at our accents while we talk about "thongs" and pronounce "toilet" like a true Aussie! (you'll want to go back and re-listen to all the old episodes just to hear Tara say "toilet" over and over again...hee hee!).

We all have them - photos! And they can be a real space-hog and stress when they aren't organised.
So this week Bec has bailed up the delightful Chantal Imbach from Photos In Order and the DIY Photo Organising podcast to help us all out with our printed photos - the ones stashed in places all over the house and taking up space in giant albums, or at your parent's place just waiting for you to inherit them!
And don't despair, we know you need digital photo help too, so Chantal will definitely be back!

We give you the insiders' view on this show and what those inside the industry think about it (and not just us - other POs across the world have had lots to say about it too!).

We are so excited about this episode! Tara has been a raving fan of Greg McKeown for a long time now and she has also been nagging Bec to do a review episode of his book "Essentialism" for ages, too.
She gave up on Bec and went one better and invited Greg himself on as a guest, nearly dying of excitement when he said yes.
If you haven't read Greg's book yet, never fear, this interview will teach you a lot about Essentialism and how it came about, how it has evolved and how it might just change the way you look at your life.
Greg's website with access to his book, podcast and other projects is at https://gregmckeown.com/

Hi, welcome back. This week we are delving into the pile of artwork that kids bring home (for littlies - it's coming almost every day!).
We give you plenty of ideas on how to store it (both short term and long term), how to talk with your kids through letting go, and some ideas on displaying it.
This week Bec talks about her upcoming course "Raising Uncluttered Kids" a bit, too. For more info you can visit here. Also, Patreon supporters get a huge 30% off the price of the course. If you'd like to become a Patreon supporter, you can do so on our website.

Who's got a stash of artwork that's hiding around the place in every nook and cranny but NOT on the walls? Well, if you do then you're not alone!
This week, learn how to assess your artwork and decide if it truly belongs in your home.
Oh, and we're not talking the stuff your kid brings home - that's a whole other episode that's coming soon!

This week we have a sponsored guest - Emma Mason from The Source Bulk Foods (Dickson ACT and Belconnen ACT).
Emma has quite a lot to share with us - after downsizing from a 1,000 acre property to a 100 sqm apartment, she has plenty to teach us about a massive downsize. Emma is also an aspiring zero-waster so has some great advice for those of us wishing to know more about a zero waste lifestyle (and how you don't have to win an award for "The Most Zero" to have an impact).
Emma and her husband are also franchise owners of The Source Bulk Foods stores in Canberra so she also shares some information about what bulk food stores are and how they work.
If you're looking to get involved in Plastic Free July, but have either lost momentum or haven't started at all, The Source are having a great challenge starting on the 20th of July that makes it far less daunting. Emma speaks our "it doesn't have to be perfect" language so you'll find it really approachable and not intimidating. You can join via their Facebook pages.

Most households have some gardening gear in them. From those of us that have aaaall of it, to those that just have a watering can and an old bottle of fertiliser under the sink somewhere that they aren't sure how it got there, we all need to figure out how to declutter and organise it so that we can find it when we need it!

Scarcity mindset is the mostly unconscious force that drives us to collect clutter and makes it difficult for us to reduce it. It has us grabbing bargains (yes, all of us!) and panic buying and stashing.
But what is it and how can we avoid letting it derail us? Check it out in the week's episode.

We use the words "need" and "want" a lot on this podcast, when talking about making decisions about stuff.
Bec and Tara discuss how needs differ from wants and how we frequently get the terms a bit mixed up, which is helpful to be aware of when trying to declutter your life.
As well as needing and wanting stuff, we also use "need" and "want" in our language, which can be unhelpful. Tara explains how and reminds us of the impact of our language.

Gifting cupboards are places where you can store gifts, cards, ribbons and wrappings. Some people swear by them (Tara) and others don't really bother (Bec!).
In this episode, one of them will convince the other. Tune in to see whose mind is changed!

Comparison is part of our daily lives. We use it all the time, to motivate us, to let us know where we sit among our peers, to make decisions about our lives. But can it harm us?
This week Bec and Tara take a look at comparison and how we use it and whether it's helpful, or unhelpful, or both!

This week Bec talks to her 15 year-old son, Ethan, about a major bedroom declutter he recently undertook.
Ethan has always been a kid that doesn't like tidying and organisation and struggled to even care about tidiness let alone actually do it. He is sentimental, attached to his stuff, easily distracted and struggles to stay on task. However, he just decluttered half his stuff (all by himself!) and now tidies daily. What happened??? Only he can tell us....

NOTE: we apologise for the audio issues at the start of this episode. If you download it again the correct version will be accessible. Sorry!
We're surprised it's taken us this long to do this topic! This week we talk pantries - why they get cluttered, why they get disorganised and how to overcome that.

What happens when someone tells you that your product, your work, something you've created, isn't so great? What does it mean, and how do you cope with that? Bec and Tara got a bad review late last year and have now recovered sufficiently to have a chat about it (don't worry, we're fine, everything is fine...how are you?). Also this week we introduce the opportunity for you to become a Patreon! You can sponsor this podcast so that we can keep it ad-free (which is what we really really want).

You've probably heard lots of stories about successful people and how they attribute a lot of their success to their morning routines. If you're anything like Bec and Tara, who are best described as Morning Zombies, then you'll possibly see a similar start to your morning as a little beyond your reach. Well, we want to bring it within reach! This week Tara chats to Amy Banocy, bestselling author, speaker and success coach who helps us learn about ways we can start our day right. Don't worry, Amy is not a "bounce out of bed at 4am" sort of person, either, so don't worry! She'll give you realistic tips to help you start your days on the right foot in a realistic and achievable way. Note that this episode was recorded before the advent of the corona virus pandemic, so if Tara or Amy say anything that sounds weird under the current circumstances, that's why! We hope you can understand and don't take anything the wrong way. We'd love you to get in touch to discuss anything about the podcast.

Bec is a Bullet Journal aficionado and if you've listened to a lot of our episodes or followed her on social media you'd have heard her mention it. It's quite a mystery to Tara, so this week she grills Bec about what bullet journalling is all about in an effort to understand it better.

Well, this is all very surreal and horrible and strange. This is the first episode we've recording during the height of the corona virus pandemic.
We hope you're all doing okay, and that it's also okay to not be okay.
Today we chat about strategies for coping during isolation and lockdown, and some advice on decluttering during it IF you want to (no pressure!).

You've probably already figured out that your kids and your grandkids probably don't want your stuff when you're gone. Have you thought about why? Is it because they're all minimalists? Or other reasons? Bec and Tara have, and chat about it in this week's episode. We'd love you to get in touch to discuss anything about the podcast.

If you've ever spent time trying to declutter only to realise that you're in more of a mess than when you started? This episode should help!

This week we are chatting about a book that has been mentioned before by Bec in other episodes (and at other times!) so Tara decided she had to read it! The Power of Habit by Charles Duhigg is the subject of this little review. Bec and Tara discuss the things they like about the book (spoiler alert, it's most of it!) and let you know what it's all about and help you decide whether you'd like to read it.

This week we're back onto personality types - this time we discuss the "Type A/Type B" personality typing. Bec and Tara discuss its origins, how it's applied today, some critiques of it and how it might affect your clutter levels and decluttering style (or not!).

Sometimes it's not the stuff in our homes that's the only thing holding us back. Sometimes it's the stories we tell ourselves, the baggage we carry and the expectations we have. These things can be clutter, too, so Bec and Tara are going to have a chat about it and give you some tips on decluttering from an emotional perspective.

One of the Top Clutter Causes (it deserves caps) is Unfinished Projects. The stuff that you have laying around and stuffed in storage because it's waiting for something else to be done on it before it can be used or discarded. It's a major cause of clutter and a big stumbling block for many people trying to simplify their lives, so this week Bec and Tara dive in and discuss the different types of "unfinished stuff" clutter there is and how you might go about tackling it.

We're forging on with this episode despite Tara still sounding like she's in the toilet (she's not, not all of the time anyway) and we are finishing our talk on goal setting.

Firstly, we're sorry about the quality of audio in this episode. We would normally re-record if we had a technical issue but given the holiday season, there just wasn't the opportunity to do so. We thought it better that you have something rather than nothing to kick-start your New Year, even if the sound is a bit annoying. We'll work hard to ensure it doesn't happen again. Now - HAPPY NEW YEAR! We ring in 2020 with an episode on goal setting. We talk about ways to set goals and chat about the importance of understanding WHY you have the goals.

What do you do when you have a house full of clutter and only a day or two to prepare for guests or a house inspection? You throw it all in bags and shove it in your ensuite? Well yes, you can if you like, but you probably will have a lot more stress afterwards to deal with. This week we talk about how to panic clear (panic declutter, crisis clean etc) so that you get your house to an "acceptable" point (depending on the type of event you're panicking about!) in a short amount of time without the hangover of boxes of unsorted stuff clogging up your garage for years afterwards.

Bec and Tara are big readers. They love reading, and love books. They understand why people end up with more books than space; they totally get it. Because of this, we have a long episode for you this week, full of personal stories about books and reading and all that stuff.

Where does happiness lie? When striving for it, why does it always seem out of reach? Clutter is caused by many things, but acquiring is a big reason we have too much stuff. We acquire things a lot of the time because we feel we need The Thing because it will make our lives better. From the pretty new notebook (I'll get organised) to the new shoes (I'll look taller and trendier) to the new rug (the other one didn't match the sofa properly) and the new kitchen storage (glass will be safer). Are you afflicted by this? (Hint: we all are to some degree!). What can do you do about it? Is it okay? Is it not? Why? This week Bec and Tara throw all these questions into the pot and mix it up for you to taste. We'd love you to get in touch to discuss anything about the podcast.

Okay, this is the hard part! Now that you're confident in culling your kids toys with them, and you know all of the "why", now it's time to talk about the "how". Do you do it with them or without them? How do you work around the emotions? What tips and tricks are there for getting kids on board? Loads of info in this one.

Toys. Toys toys toys toys toys. That kind of sums it up, really - how life feels like with kids! This week we start our three-part series with a chat about the psychology of play and that part that toys play in it, as well as the part toys don't play in it! We talk about the importance of play and what it does for our children's development. We also talk about the acquiring of toys and how you can make it intentional and helpful so that you and your children aren't overwhelmed with too many toys taking up your precious space and time. Next week we'll talk about decluttering toys, and then organising what's left.

ADD/ADHD is a condition that affects around 4-5% of adults. It can cause significant barriers to organisation (among other challenges). In this episode, Rebecca chats with Sarah Cottman from Heavenly Order about ADD and ADHD and how it affects organisation. Sarah has a lot of experience, professionally and personally, with ADHD and she's a wealth of information and great source of comfort, as well as a bit of a hoot. There's some tips on managing the symptoms, as well as discussion around some of the great things about having ADHD (yes, there are superpowers!). Also - we talk about perfectionism and procrastination too, so even if you don't have ADHD, you'll find some interesting chat around ways we all accidentally over-complicate our lives.

Have you ever helped someone else declutter? Have you found that it's so much easier than doing your own stuff? If so, you're not alone. Bec & Tara chat this week about how we can be great at helping other people declutter. We can be focused, rational and practical. We are enthusiastic and energetic. But then when we have to do our own, we avoid, procrastinate and get anxious. We find other things to do instead, and we agonise and make excuses. We also chat about what kind of person is the best type of person to help you declutter - and who might not be!

Decluttering is not a one-off activity - it's something that stays with you for life. Although it is always with you, it does change over time, however. This week Bec & Tara discuss what Maintenance Mode is, how it differs from Decluttering Mode and how each mode works. When do you know when you're in Maintenance Mode? Will you ever get there, and can you switch between the two?

Wrapping up Wardrobe Month, Bec & Tara are teaching you how to transition from your current wardrobe to an intentional one.

It's wardrobe (closet!) month! This month is all about wardrobes, what we wear, why we wear it, how to be intentional, and how to organise your wardrobe. For those of you in the US, when we say wardrobe we mean closet. But we also mean wardrobe (ie, the collection of clothes we own). We use the word wardrobe for both the closet AND the collection of our clothes, just to be confusing for you, sorry! We're starting off this special month with a little sneak peek into what's in our wardrobes. Why do we wear what we wear? Why are we keeping the clothes we're keeping?

We've all receive them before - free stuff. Water bottles, lanyards, keyrings, mugs, stress balls, extras with an order, samples at the supermarket, 2-for-1 whats-its and all sorts of stuff. We see a LOT of clutter caused by free stuff, so we wanted to have a chat about the fact that even though something seems to be "free", it's not really - everything you bring into your home costs you in some way. We talk about lots of the hidden costs of "free" in the hope that perhaps it might help you be a little more intentional about bringing stuff into your house and reduce your clutter levels.

The #minsgame is a game created by The Minimalists, Joshua Fields-Milburn and Ryan Nicodemus. The game's aim is to provide you with motivation, accountability and a straightforward method to declutter as many as 695 items from your home in one month. Bec and Tara share their thoughts on it, and their experiences with doing it (and avoiding doing it, in Bec's case) in this episode. If you're interested in playing the game yourself, make sure you join our Facebook Community Group to play with us in June.

Bec and Tara don't really like using the words "right" or "wrong" or "too much" or "not enough" when talking about the volume of people's belongings. Everyone is so different - we all have different sized homes, different personalities in our household and different tolerance levels for clutter. A better way to describe volume levels is to call them "helpful" or "unhelpful". In this week's episode Bec and Tara discuss how to work out if you have unhelpful or helpful volumes of belongings, so that you can make some changes that make your life safer and happier!

Cluttered kitchens are such a pain - when they're overly cluttered it's really obvious, and it gets in your way more than other areas because it's so frequently used. This week Be and Tara dive into the kitchen and give you some strategies to declutter and organise it so that you get the most out of the space, and get rid of some of the clutter that's annoying, embarrassing and frustrating you. Tara's platter tip will have you wondering why you never thought of it yourself, and Bec's Tupperware tip might just blow you away too!

Our surroundings are caused by our behaviours, and our behaviours are heavily influenced by our values and our beliefs. What we believe can actually cause clutter. In this episode, Bec and Tara discuss five beliefs that you may have, that may be causing your clutter issues. From how we perceive ourselves and who we believe we are, to how we see waste - there's a lot of thought-provoking stuff in this episode!

Social media is such a large part of so many people's lives. It's awesome, and it sucks. It's handy, and it drives us batty. It's a connection to the world and it's a complete waste of our time. It's fun, and it makes us miserable. So if you think you might need to stop letting social media be the boss of your time and your feelings, listen in for some tips and hints on how you might take control of social media instead of it controlling you. It's not going away, and we wouldn't really want it to, but we do need to make sure we're using it instead of it using us! Note, because Bec & Tara are old and lame (apparently), they only really talk about Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. So if you're a Snapchatter, we'd love you to share some of your tips and tricks about how to take control on other platforms too!

You probably come up against the roadblock a lot when trying to declutter - the value of the item. Value is important because it helps us decide what stays and what goes, and helps us prioritise items. A lot of how we decide what value an item has is flawed, however. We usually go straight to what we paid for it, or what it might receive if you sold it. Bec and Tara explore all the ways we can figure out what the true value of your belongings are, to help you work out what really matters, and what can go.

Craft room too full to do craft? Desk too covered in stuff to do stuff? You're not alone! If you're drowning in beads, threads, fabric or needles; if you're overwhelmed by paints, wool, ribbons and card; if you're suffocating under fabric, washi tape, mosaics and yarn... listen in! Bec & Tara talk about why we end up with craft clutter, how our personalities can affect it and how letting go can open the doors to your crafts again.

This week Bec chats to her buddy Alex, who lives with chronic pain. They chat about how reducing your belongings can help people who live with a chronic illness (or any debilitating condition), and the benefits that Alex has experienced through moving to a minimalist lifestyle. As Alex is a big low-waste advocate, they also chat about how his consumption and waste generation has changed as well as the volume of his belongings.

If you've ever wondered what Professional Organisers and Declutter Coaches do, here's the episode for you.

You may even learn something if you're wanting to become a PO as well!

Is your handbag like the Tardis? Do you have everything in there you could possibly need in all sorts of situations? Or do you have a pared-down approach? If you're in the US, we're talking about your purse/pocketbook. When we mention the word "purse" in this episode, we're talking about a wallet. As expected, Bec & Tara have very different handbag situations (which are surprisingly consistent with the aspects of their lives!). Tara keeps control by being organised and Bec keeps control by opting out and minimalising. Learn their tips and tricks to tame your handbag and save yourself loads of time.

If you're ready to jump off that hamster wheel, listen in for tips and hacks on how to reduce your "busy" feeling and slow your life down a little. From committees to drama, from being a "yes person" to accidentally volunteering for things noone asked you to, Bec & Tara will help you smooth your schedule and ease the frenzy. Learn Bec's habit of saying no, and find out what Tara means by her "tomato and basil" tasks.

Why are we all so busy? Are we really busy or are we just saying we are? Is "busy" something that is done to us, or something that we do to ourselves? Is Being Very Busy a badge of honour? Why do we value it? How many other questions about busy are there? (answer - plenty!). Bec and Tara dissect all of this in this episode - so if you're a VBP (Very Busy Person) and want off that train, listen in!

Is your bedroom a haven of peace and relaxation? Or a pit of things to do and stuff to fall over? Without needing to be perfect, it's a good idea to have low clutter levels in your bedroom to promote better sleep and a peaceful start and end to each day. Bec & Tara talk about ways to keep your bedroom clutter-free this week, with their tips and tricks (and Tara's bedside table hack that knocked Bec's socks off) and insights into why we should reduce the clutter in or bedrooms, and how to do it! There's talk of dogs and moths, chairdrobes and falling down, tea and wine. Yep, all in the bedroom!

After talking about the books last week, Bec & Tara tackle Kondo’s “Tidying Up” show on Netflix. From making Bec cry and having her talking to her house, to frustrating her. From helping Tara have her towels look amazing, to having her wondering how Kondo’s clothes stayed so neat and tidy; the show is dismantled and pondered over. Looking at it through both personal and professional lenses, they provide their take on the pros and cons of the show, the positive and negative attention it’s getting, highlighting the bits they loved, and the bits they thought were lacking, they’ll give you an insight into the show that may, or may not, help you.

Kondo-mania is sweeping Australia. This diminutive Japanese Tidying Queen's Netflix series has everyone in a frenzy of decluttering, with charities overloaded and everyone "Konmari-ing" their homes. So as seasoned professionals that do what she does, Bec & Tara are asked a LOT what they think of the show, the method she uses and the "quirks" of her techniques. In this episode they talk about her two books - "The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up"and "Spark Joy" with their personal and professional reactions to them. Next week we'll talk about the TV Show.

This week we hear the last part of Jacinta's story. After leaving her abusive relationship, Jacinta's life changes in many ways, with "stuff" taking centre stage. Trigger warning: Note that this episode discusses an abusive relationship and involves children so you can avoid that content by skipping to another episode or opting out this week.

Following on from last week's episode on toxic relationships, this week Tara chats to Jacinta, whose story about an abusive relationship covers a few of our themes, from toxic relationships to how we feel about our "stuff" as it comes and goes from our lives. Trigger warning: this episode is a true story that contains content that discusses emotional and psychological abuse, and it does include children.

Sometimes clutter takes forms other than of our physical surrounds. We can carry clutter with us as habits, beliefs and relationships, to name a few. This week we chat about toxic relationships. What are they and we do we have them? And why do we stick with them? Learn some questions to ask yourself to identify if you have any toxic relationships, and some strategies to remove or protect yourself from their damaging effects. Bec and Tara don't talk about their toxic relationship - they prefer to just pretend to like each other (KIDDING!).

New Year, new planner? This week Bec and Tara talk about the different types of diaries and planners you can use, specifically the differences between paper planners and digital planners. They discuss the pros and cons of each. Tara has a new planner this year that she's excited about, and Bec is continuing with her bullet journaling (if you're interested in learning about it she does give a curious Tara a rundown on the basics), so there's a bit more paper chat than digital chat, but hey, that's one of their similarities so there wasn't anything to argue about or laugh at each other about!

Happy New Year! Welcome to 2019! This week Bec & Tara dip their toes in the waters of New Year's Resolutions (sorry, it's a hot day, I have water on the brain...not literally...) and discuss how they work (or don't work) and how you might be able to have the best of both worlds - inspiration from the start of the New Year, and success in achieving your goals. If you really want New Year's resolutions, but they never work for you, give Bec & Tara's suggestions a try. You might find you really kick some goals in 2019.

What sentimental items can't you get go of? Do you buy souvenirs? Should I go into my kids' rooms and clear them out when they're not around? Were you always organised and uncluttered? How do you find homes for things? These are just a few of the (sometimes curly!) questions (or quristions as Tara likes to call them... hee hee) that we've been asked by our listeners, and we have a good shot at answering them! Bec was a little loose with the editing this week, she was feeling frisky. She left a few bloopers in for your amusement. You're welcome ;)

When the jingle bells are quiet, you have a fridge full of leftovers (mmmm.....pav...), the presents are all unwrapped, you're sick of wine (is that possible??), and the friends and family all leave, what next? How do you store your Christmas decorations? When do you pack up? What do you do with all the rubbish? Do you keep the paper, cards and ribbons? Do you pack up the tree on New Years Day like Tara or do you leave it up until practically Easter like Bec does? These tips and tricks will help you recover from Christmas and give Future You a few gifts of organisation to make life a little easier post-Christmas.

This next episode in the holiday season series deals with the Christmas schedule and all the stuff to do in the holiday season. Work out how to create a holiday season for your family with traditions that mean a lot to everyone, without stressing you out. Bec and Tara look back at their childhood Christmases and talk about their own wishes for the holiday season. Tara loves being at home and Bec loves a very lazy Christmas. Learn Bec's favourite method of stress reduction (it's her recurring theme and easier said than done but worth the effort!) and listen as Tara tries really really hard to let go of her Christmas Tree perfectionism! Find out also how you might be able to reduce the wastage that happens SO MUCH at Christmastime. You will be shocked at how much we as a society throw out! Also how many Christmas cards do you think Bec sent to the one family one year? You'll surely have a laugh at her ridiculousness!

Christmas and other holiday seasons are a huuuugggeeee contributor to clutter and stress. There's the whole unwanted gifts issue, the wastage, the feelings of guilt and obligation. The whole "giving presents for the sake of it" kind of thing can really become problematic. Or even if you LOVE giving and receiving gifts, you still have to manage the volume of belongings in your home. Bec and Tara talk about how you can reduce the clutter hangover this holiday season. Even if you don't celebrate Christmas, there's loads of advice that will help you out with other gift giving traditions you may have. Tara the present nerd is all done with her shopping (and wrapping - yep, nerd!), and Bec the geek wants a hoverboard from Back to The Future. It's long episode but it's jam-packed with clutter-free gift ideas so it will be worth it!

This week Bec and Tara talk laundries, from what we store in them, to how we manage our washing process and what kinds of things we can declutter from our laundries to make them more efficient and effective. From British kitchen-laundries to whether to iron or not iron - nothing is left behind! Don't miss out on Tara's HUGE confession (and Bec laughing at it!).

This week we continue our episode about how to raise uncluttered kids. Bec and Tara share stories about their own kids, as well as things they've learned when working with other families. Tara assuages her culling guilt by handing her fancy clothes down to her girls for dress-ups, and teaches us how to use the Tiny Tuttles Toy Shop technique. Bec confesses she's got a sweary memory about one of her kids' baby toys; can you be proud of when your toddler first drops the F-bomb? Because Bec was! You'll also learn a couple of techniques for managing kids' artwork, what to do when you have a kid that collects sticks and rocks, and how to deal with the nag factor. There's quite a lot crammed in this episode!

Bec and Tara got carried away and talked sooooo much about uncluttering kids this week that we had to chop the episode into two parts! There's so much to cover that editing it all made Bec a bit dizzy. But it's a good thing - they have ideas for lots of other episodes as a result! This episode talks about why we have cluttered kids, and why it might be a good idea to change that. Tara and Bec get all squealy about Peaches and Cream Barbie (we're NOT old) and share some of the parenting techniques they’ve used to keep the clutter monster at bay.

This episode dives down into our hearts to talk about sentimental clutter. Why we keep it, and the best ways to approach it. From Bec's dad's furniture to Tara's mum's books, we have lots of personal experience with this and plenty of examples from our clients, too. We think we're getting a bit better at this podcast thing - thankfully iTunes lists them in reverse order!

One of the most common reasons why we keep stuff we don't need, use or love is the fear that we might need it one day. I mean, everyone knows that the day after you throw out that flamethrower you get a massive spider on your ceiling! But what does that really mean, and how can we overcome this unhelpful thought process? Bec and Tara unpack this issue and provide some insight into why we do this, and how we can make more helpful decisions when trying to declutter.

What is "aspirational clutter" and why are we hanging onto it? This week we'll give you some examples and some tips on how to deal with it. We also have some confessions to make about our own little aspirational clutter weak spots (hint - Bec can't sit down in her jeans and Tara thinks she's Heston Blumenthal).

Have you been prevented from decluttering because your house is too full of stuff? Sometimes people hit the roadblock of "no space to sort" and as much as they'd like to clear some things out, they find it virtually impossible because there's no room to move. In other news, Tara makes fun of Bec's weeding analogy and subsequently Bec wishes she didn't edit out Tara's funniest mistakes!

For our very first episode, we talk about our plans for the podcast, talk about ourselves for a bit and then discuss what WE think clutter actually is. As you'll notice, we're a bit nervous and overly serious in this episode but we'll loosen up, don't worry!!
