Living Clutter Free Forever - decluttering tips,home organizing, minimalist living

What if you had to leave your home in minutes?

Would you know what to grab? Could you even find it?

We never want to think about emergencies, but being prepared is life-changing—and decluttering is your first step.

In this episode of Living Clutter Free Forever, I’ll share three powerful strategies to help you safeguard what matters most. This isn’t just about tidying—it’s about protecting memories, reducing overwhelm, and creating a clutter-free home where you can breathe easier.

A cluttered house slows you down. A well-organized space empowers you.

Using the KonMari Method and other practical declutter strategies, I’ll show you how to:
✔️ Identify the essentials
✔️ Create systems that work in any crisis
✔️ Turn small wins into big peace of mind

Because intentional living isn’t just about having a tidy home. It’s about feeling prepared, calm, and in control—even in the toughest situations.

So ask yourself:
👉 If disaster struck tomorrow, are you ready?
👉 What’s stopping you from taking control of your space today?

Don’t wait for a “forced reset” to find clarity. Decluttering now is your chance to choose what stays, let go of what doesn’t, and enjoy the freedom of a lighter life.

🎧 Tune in for insights that might just change the way you think about your home—and your future.

Listen now. Your clutter-free, intentional life starts here. ✨

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

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.
