Peter Walsh: Letting Go

11/19/23 • 24 min

1 Listener

Peter talks this week about being an advocate for people when you are invited into their homes. How Professional Organisers are there to help you achieve the life you want, and how he is committed to doing everything in his capacity to help you, even when you feel unable to help yourself.

Our lives are stages, and the stuff we hold onto are representations of those seasons. Even though it's hard to let go of things from our past, it frees us up to live today and celebrate the past without having it hold us back.

We also discuss the power of empathy, how to work with clients without judgement, and what it looks like to be a 'hope bringer' to those we work with.

Making Do with Bonnie Black

The art of making do is a bit of a lost practice of common sense in our current culture.

We buy gadgets that perform just one task (melon baller or rice cooker...) and in our attempt to find quicker and easier ways to do things, we often unnecessarily complicate our homes with clutter. A product is only as good as your ability to access and use it.

We unpack what it means to 'make do' and what areas we've both been making do with positive outcomes.

No cake server... can you use an egg flip?

No salad servers... can you use tongs or cutlery?

No microwave... can you reheat food on your stovetop?

The benefits of making do are that you will save money, reduce waste, increase your creativity and problem solving skills, and save time.

When you next need to solve a problem in your home, is there a 'make do' option that you could try out before you purchase something new?
