The Space Creator Show

This episode of The Space Creator Show goes far beyond “new year, new you” cringefest, because the real reason goals fall apart is not laziness or lack of discipline. Amy cuts to the psychological heart of why January feels like Groundhog Day: the change never starts with who you’re becoming. Instead of shallow resolutions and over‑pressured to‑do lists, this episode reveals how your self‑concept and your environment work together… or against you. Amy explains the real reason most goals fail, how your home reflects your identity, and why mindset shifts are the first step to lasting change. Featuring a transformational scripting tool Amy uses with high‑level clients, this episode reframes January from to‑do list to identity upgrade. In this episode you’ll learn: The real psychology behind why New Year’s goals collapse How clutter and self‑concept are deeply connected Why behavioural goals fail without identity work How clarity changes behaviour without force Mentioned in the episode: 2026 Kickstart Decluttering Success Bundle Your Next Steps: Work with Amy: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/servicesJoin the VIP email list for free weekly decluttering & mindset tips: https://thespacecreator.myflodesk.com/tscpodcastJoin The Space Creator Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacecreatorcommunityPro Organiser Academy (for organisers in business): https://proorganiseracademy.com/ Connect on Social: Instagram: @amythespacecreator & @proorganiseracademyTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amythespacecreatorYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amythespacecreator Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode; and if you loved this one, please leave a 5★ rating and review!

You don’t need more deals; you need more calm. This week’s episode of The Space Creator Show is your no-fluff, anti-chaos guide to navigating Black Friday without ending up with a house (and head) full of clutter. Between endless flash sales and the UK Budget adding even more financial pressure, it’s no wonder everyone feels a bit feral this week. But let’s get real: emotional spending, guilt gifting, and panic baskets are costing you more than money; they’re draining your energy, your clarity, and your peace. In this episode, I’m diving into: Why Black Friday guilt is a real thing The sneaky price-hike tricks brands like Amazon use (yep, even before the “discounts”) How to tell the difference between intentional shopping and chaos shopping Gifting without guilt or clutter Why shopping small might mean skipping the discount — and why that’s ok The exact way I create a Black Friday shopping list that works The emotional clutter behind buying more “just in case” and what to do instead  This one is basically your Black Friday detox. A mindset reset before your inbox explodes.  Your Next Steps: Work with me: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/services Join my VIP email list for free weekly decluttering and mindset tips & motivation: https://thespacecreator.myflodesk.com/tscpodcast Join The Space Creator Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacecreatorcommunity Listening as a Professional Organiser?

This week, I’m unpacking why that ‘dream home’ narrative we've all been sold might actually be wrecking your nervous system. Between rising living costs, the upcoming UK budget, and Rachel Reeves throwing shade on big property perks, now’s the time to rethink the “more is better” mindset. I'm sharing my own experience of decluttering and selling my four-bed family home, moving in with my mum, and buying a small home as a single mum—and why, against all expectations, I’m genuinely buzzing about it. We’ve been taught to believe that growing up means levelling up into bigger houses, more rooms, more stuff. But bigger doesn’t always mean better. And that pressure? It’s costing you time, peace, and let’s be honest—probably a whole Saturday morning in the garden you didn’t want. Plus, I’m spilling the real tea on how you could save thousands by investing in proper storage and systems, rather than an extension or a move. Your square footage isn’t the problem—your clutter is. What you’ll hear in this episode: Why “dream home” culture is messing with your head How Rachel Reeves’ upcoming Budget might affect your housing choices What my move from big house to small home is teaching me Why proper storage beats a pricey extension The real cost of keeping stuff you don’t use What to do instead of just moving to “fix” your life My favourite mindset shift for this season of life Mentioned in this episode: Let’s Buy A Home Podcast Guest Speaking Episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/uk/podcast/declutter-your-home-declutter-your-mind-toxic-beliefs/id1812996218?i=1000737046036  Guest Speaking at The Home Life and You Show at London Excel: Blog Post: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/blog/Manifesting-Your-Dream-Life-Starts-with-Decluttering Speaker profile: https://www.homelifeandyou.com/speakers-and-contributors/amy-prior Your Next Steps: Work with me: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/services Join my VIP email list for free weekly decluttering and mindset tips & motivation: https://thespacecreator.myflodesk.com/tscpodcast Join The Space Creator Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacecreatorcommunity Listening as a Professional Organiser?

If the thought of moving house makes you want to lie in bed with the covers over your head, you’re not alone. Downsizing, decluttering and packing up years of life is not just a logistical nightmare. It’s emotional. It’s overwhelming. … and it can be absolute carnage if you don’t have a plan.That’s why I sat down with the fabulous Jo Jacob, Professional Organiser and founder of Benella Home Organisation. Jo’s moved countless families (and herself) through every kind of transition you can imagine: downsizing, retirement, bereavement, you name it.

Have you ever looked at those “after” photos on Instagram and thought…“Well, my house will NEVER look like that” You’re exactly who should listen to this episode.  This week on The Space Creator Show, I’m joined by Juliette Parsons from @creatingspacewinchester to talk about the biggest myth in decluttering: the goal of making your home looking Instagram-perfect. Spoiler: it shouldn't be.In fact, aesthetics are often the least important part. Decluttering is about creating a home that works for you, NOT for strangers on the internet.  Juliette and I talk about ditching the guilt, letting go of “perfect” and finding systems that make life easier, even if they’re not photo-worthy. You will also learn: ✨ What the real goal should be: less stress, more headspace ✨ How to create a home that works for your family ✨ When to call in a professional (and why it’s SO worth it) ✨ Why it’s normal to create more mess before you can enjoy your clutter free home ✨ What you can do to start now, even if it won’t look ‘finished’ straight away Connect with Juliette: Instagram: Creating Space WinchesterWebsite: www.creatingspacewinchester.co.uk Your Next Steps: Work with me: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/servicesJoin my VIP email list for free weekly decluttering and mindset tips & motivation: https://thespacecreator.myflodesk.com/tscpodcastJoin The Space Creator Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacecreatorcommunityWant to become a Pro Organiser? 🎥 Watch the free training replay now → https://learn.proorganiseracademy.com/first-steps-training Connect on Social: Follow me on Instagram: @amythespacecreator & @proorganiseracademyFollow me on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@amythespacecreatorSubscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@amythespacecreator Make sure you subscribe or tap follow so you don’t miss an episode!And, if you loved this episode, please leave me a 5* rating and a review.

In this deeply honest and moving episode, I’m joined by one of my incredible coaching clients and Pro Organiser Academy star, Karla from @klearmyspace. Karla is not only a vibrant and magnetic professional organiser in South-East London, but she’s also a mum, BBC TV expert, and now fully booked business owner, despite the odds.

If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “How did it get this bad?” you’re not alone. The toys, the dishes, the laundry, the mental to-do list that never stops. This episode is for the mums who are just plain overwhelmed and need permission to stop trying to do it all. I sat down with Annie from Declutter with Delight to talk about what really happens when you let go of the guilt, the pressure, and the piles, and start creating a home that supports your real life, not your Pinterest board. We’re digging into: Why motherhood during COVID sent Annie into stuff overload, and how it led her to decluttering for mental survival How being a former teacher helps her create routines and systems that actually stick The myth that “you should just be able to manage” and why it keeps so many women stuck What changed when she stopped obsessing over how things looked and focused on how things worked Why involving kids early makes decluttering easier, not harder Annie’s go-to method for overwhelmed clients: start with bins, skip the sentimental The magic of a 10-minute tidy when everything has a place, and how to get there The real cost of clutter: overwhelm, overstimulation, and constant decision fatigue A powerful client story that started with one overwhelmed mum and ended with a complete mindset shift Her advice to anyone who feels ashamed to ask for help, and why it’s actually a strength This one’s for the mums carrying it all, physically, mentally, emotionally, and wondering if they’re just not cut out for this. You are. You’re just doing it all alone.   Connect with Annie Annie is based in Oxfordshire and supports families across the county and surrounding areas including Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Bedfordshire.

If you’ve ever looked around your home and thought, “Why is it so full, but still not working for me?”or if minimalism feels totally unrealistic unless you live alone with a single plant and a white sofa, this one’s for you. This week, I’m joined by Shannon from @simpllivingco, a minimalist coach and professional organiser helping women in Sussex, Surrey and South London create calm, intentional homes that actually work for their real lives. We talk about the moment one Netflix documentary changed everything for her, and why she intentionally downsized her whole life into one room. She shares her take on minimalism (spoiler: it’s not about living in a white box), the shopping habits keeping us stuck, and how to let go of guilt around sentimental stuff. She also shares powerful stories from her work with clients, including navigating care home transitions and turning clutter into cash. If you’ve ever wondered whether minimalism and motherhood can coexist, or felt like decluttering never sticks, press play. This chat is packed with real talk, identity shifts, and a fresh, grounded take on what intentional living actually looks like. What you’ll learn: How minimalism can work with your life (and your kids) Why your shopping habits matter more than you think The hidden cost of “just in case” clutter What minimalism really is—and what it definitely isn’t A refreshing approach to letting go of sentimental stuff Mentioned in the episode: https://www.theminimalists.com/films https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/millennial-minimalists/id1432155616    Connect with Shannon Based in Sussex, Surrey and South London, Shannon helps clients simplify and reset their homes with a minimalist mindset.  Website: simplliving.co  Instagram: @simpllivingco (also on Facebook) Your Next Steps: Work with me: https://www.amythespacecreator.com/services  Join my VIP email list for free weekly decluttering and mindset tips & motivation: https://thespacecreator.myflodesk.com/tscpodcast  Join The Space Creator Community Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/spacecreatorcommunity    Want to become a Pro Organiser?

She helps packed-out homes transform into spaces that actually work, with no shame, no judgement, and no need for designer baskets.

Fake it ‘til they make it How she helps clients let go of guilt around asking for help, and why it’s actually a strength What clutter really costs you, and why investing in organising is worth it ten times over Her latest offerings, including pre-baby room prep and decluttering for home sales, which can boost your house value by up to 8% Connect with Fiona Based in Kent and East Sussex, Fiona helps families reset their space and systems in a way that actually lasts.

If you’ve ever felt the pull of your credit card after a tough week, found your space overwhelmed with impulse buys, or wondered why shopping didn’t fill the hole, it’s time for a recalibration. I sat down with Alison Fish, Professional Organiser and founder of Tidy AF UK, to unpack how compulsive spending and clutter were symptoms, not solutions, and how she turned it all around. Alison now works 1:1 with clients across Lincolnshire & Yorkshire, guiding them from chaos to clarity by understanding their habits, motivations, and money mindset. We’re digging into: How Alzheimer's in her family exposed patterns of hoarding and overbuying and made Alison re-evaluate her own spending Why a full attic made her go “enough” and how she broke free from buying clutter Why clutter is never just about “stuff” it always has a deeper root cause How honest conversations about debt can unlock real progress (yes, even with your bank) Tips to stop impulse shopping: curate your feed, wait before purchasing, and ask yourself “Do I really need this?” The power of saving with intention, how budgeting for goals helps prevent frivolous spending Why cheap, fast fashion is a false economy, and how buying better quality boosts long-term happiness Educating yourself on money, buying habits, and responsibility, because no one else is going to do it for you How decluttering isn’t just aesthetic, it’s emotional, financial, and life-changing The critical role of community and expert support in holding yourself accountable This episode is for anyone who’s realised that more stuff wasn’t the answer and feels ready to shift spending habits, reduce clutter, and reclaim control of their space, money, and mind.

If you’re fed up with mornings that feel like a full-body workout before 9am, piles of clutter that seem to regenerate overnight, and a never-ending to-do list that never actually gets done, this one’s for you. I sat down with Louise Ufer-Nolte, Professional Organiser and founder of Simply Sortin’, to talk about how busy parents and professionals can stop firefighting and actually build a home that works for them, not against them. Louise works 1:1 with clients across Edinburgh & the Lothians, and she knows that finding balance isn’t about colour-coded calendars or unrealistic routines. It’s about systems that stick.

If you’ve ever felt weighed down by toy-strewn floors, morning meltdowns, or childhood clutter chaos, it’s time for a fresh perspective. In this soul-nourishing chat, I sat down with Sam Allan, a busy mum of two and Professional Organiser from Aberdeen, founder of So Organised With Sam, to unpack how instilling organisation in our kids isn’t just practical, it’s pure empowerment. We’re diving deep into: Why responsibility = confidence (yes, a 19‑month‑old can feel buzzing pulling her own bowl from a low drawer!) How chores = future success (a Harvard 75‑year study proves chores build resilience, happiness and adult achievement) The life-changing magic of family tidy-up time (20 minutes, four hands, zero resentment) When to lead and when to step back; so kids actually learn to solve not get rescued How to avoid the slow build-up of mum burnout by creating shared responsibility (and not being the default for everything) Spotting resentment before it takes hold; and turning it into connection and teamwork Declutter methods kids actually get; simple keep/go systems, toy rotation, and holding zones that give everyone space to decide Clever storage hacks to make life easier; why labelled baskets and Joseph Joseph organisers are game-changers in a family home This episode is for the mums who are sick of doing it all. It’s the reminder you didn’t know you needed, that you’re not failing, you’re just doing too much alone. And there’s another way!!

Why Everything Goes Wrong Before Everything Gets Better Ever noticed how life seems to fall apart right before your biggest breakthrough? In this solo episode, I’m getting honest about the chaos that’s exploded lately—from (almost) burnout and ocular migraines to toddler sick bugs and Zooms in carparks—and why I still believe it’s all happening for a reason. We’re diving into what it really means to stop settling, why you have to become the version of you who already has what you want, and how the universe will test you before your next level arrives. This one’s part personal update, part identity rewire—and if you’re currently in the thick of it, this episode is your permission slip to trust the mess and THE PROCESS!!  Because you can’t manifest a new life while clinging to old habits, holey knickers, and “it’ll do” energy. What you’ll learn: Why chaos often strikes right before a breakthrough How burnout shows up—and why I ignored every sign The sneaky ways we settle (and how to stop) Why manifestation isn’t about what you want—it’s about who you are The energetic signals you’re sending without realising it How to stop attracting chaos and start becoming your future self What happened in my masterclass that blew people away Mentioned in this episode: Overcome Clutter, Allow Abundance masterclass Feedback request (if you attended the masterclass, click the link or check your inbox!)

Understand the surprising science behind clutter and cortisol—and why it often affects women more. Learn how decluttering can improve focus, lift mental fatigue, and create a sense of calm. Feel empowered to tackle clutter, even if time, motivation, or mental blocks are holding you back. Last call!
