It's not too late to join me for my legendary 2026 New Year's Goal Setting Party! Create the life of your dreams one year at a time.
In this episode we dive into the powerful connection between cleaning, mental health and self-care and how looking after your home can genuinely transform your mindset. I’m joined by the amazing Laura Mountford (aka Lauracleanaholic), who shares how she reframes everyday housework into a form of mindfulness, movement, and emotional reset. We talk about why cleaning can sometimes feel easier and more accessible than traditional self-care, especially for mums, and how small, simple actions like decluttering a drawer or refreshing a room can instantly shift your energy. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck in a spiral, or unable to find time for yourself, this episode will help you see your home and your daily habits in a totally new light.
We explore practical ways to use cleaning as free therapy, from creating low-friction home hacks to building routines that support your mental wellbeing. Laura and I unpack how clearing physical space can clear mental space, why caring for your environment is a direct act of caring for yourself, and how to make cleaning feel joyful instead of draining. Whether you’re craving motivation, looking to manifest a calmer life, or wanting to feel more grounded in your space, this conversation is packed with inspiration and simple shifts you can try today. Tune in to learn how “house care is self-care” can become one of the most powerful tools in your wellbeing routine.
