Procrastination is a feeling (and some good news)
"Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin Hi lovely, Two things from me this week... 💖 You’re not lazy. You’re depleted. If you’ve been moving the same pile from the chair to the bed and back again… it’s not a time management problem. Research shows we avoid tasks because of how they make us feel. And our homes are full of feelings we haven’t had the energy to face. The thing you don’t have the energy to tackle is often the very thing draining your energy. I wrote...
October, in all its fullness 🍂
“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”- Helen Keller Hello lovely, So much has happened this month. Honestly, we feel like an Airbnb at this point... a flurry of guests coming and going, work travel, and school discos in between! 🪩 I’ve also taken on a new volunteer role this year at my daughter's primary school, which has added a whole new rhythm to the weeks. It’s been beautifully full to say the least! London 🇬🇧 The annual London KonMari gathering was magical! With my...
It's not goodbye...
"We were never meant to do this alone. Belonging isn't a luxury... it's written into who we are." Hi lovely, September has been a month of gratitude, gentle closings, and the quiet beginnings of something new. Today we gathered for our final Circle of Joy session... for now. The room was so full of warmth and gratitude that I found myself a little lost for words. This community has been one of the great joys of my work, and saying "see you soon" to this particular rhythm of gathering felt...
August reflections: new beginnings & a few tender goodbyes
"Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is clear a little room... so that what's ready to grow finally can." Hi lovely, August held a lot. My eldest started high school, and watching her walk through those gates, proud and a little unready to let go, set the tone for the whole month... joy and grief and new beginnings, often all at once. I wrote a few pieces over on Substack this month, and they belong together more than I realized. The first is about Dolly, and what she reminds me about...
July reflections: family, legacy & creating space for what matters
"A joyful legacy isn’t just what we leave behind. It’s the peace, clarity, and love we create while we’re still here.” Hi lovely, July has been a month of celebrations (i turned 40!), returning to roots, and remembering why this work matters so deeply. I’ve spent much of this month in Shanghai with my parents, helping my 70 and 75-year-old parents continue their own decluttering journeys. What started as sorting through “stuff” became something much more meaningful - uncovering stories,...

✴︎ When joy becomes overjoy... ✴︎
"The best trip is the journey inward." — Pico Iyer Hello lovely, As the clock turns midnight and July arrives quietly, I'm reflecting on a June that somehow felt like several months packed into one. We wrapped up another beautiful cohort of Joyful Legacy Decluttering, celebrating every small step, courageous conversation, and practical action. I'll share the next waitlist and some testimonials in another email, but my heart was expanding throughout the whole experience... it was such a...
✴︎ We Begin Wednesday (Last Remaining Cohort) ✴︎
"Legacy decluttering isn't about preparing for death. It's about making space to fully live." Hi lovely, Just a quick note to let you know that Joyful Legacy Decluttering begins this Wednesday. Cohort 1 is the only remaining live cohort currently scheduled, and I'd love to have you join us if this work has been quietly calling your name. If you've ever wondered: • What would happen to everything I've collected?• How can I make things easier for my loved ones someday?• What do I truly want to...
✴︎ A story I've been wanting to share ✴︎
"The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live." - Mitch Albom Hi lovely, Six months ago, my father-in-law passed away. Since then, I've been reflecting on grief, trauma, legacy, and the things we leave behind. Not just our belongings. The stories attached to them. I recorded a short video about it today: And if this is a conversation that's been quietly sitting in the back of your mind, my next Joyful Legacy Decluttering group begins next week. Learn More - Join the Cohort...
✴︎ We were “too busy” to update our wills ✴︎
"Better a passport full of stamps than a house full of stuff." Hi lovely, May has felt beautifully, wildly full. For the first time in nearly 2 years, my parents came to visit Scotland 🥹💛 and we squeezed in as much togetherness as possible - including a Highland tour complete with Highland coos, dramatic landscapes, and all the moments that remind you how important it is to pause and actually live your life alongside the work. It also happened to be one of my busiest work months too. I...
