Decluttering is an emotional minefield. Some things are easy to declutter and we can move through the process quickly at times. Then there are other items that we just cannot bring ourselves to let go of even if that item is: brokennot functionalugly according to everyone elsenot monetarily valuable There’s an emotional reason we’re holding onto it and it takes much longer for us to sort through these things and purge. My guests on the podcast today are skilled in this area because they’ve been professional organizers and declutterers for over 12 years. Ingrid Jansen and Lesley Spellman are the team behind The Declutter Hub. Lesley describes herself as the more impulsive one of the team. She likes to jump right in to see how things go - sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't but she is a firm believer in learning from your mistakes and always trying to keep moving forward in life. Ingrid is a cheese, cycling and pancake loving Dutch mum of 2 teens. She calls herself the list maker of the team and enjoys talking to everyone all the time. They’ve seen a lot and are here to help.
