In this refreshingly honest episode, Ingrid and Lesley tackle the reality that summer often derails our best decluttering intentions. They'll share practical strategies to help you maintain progress without sacrificing those precious sunny days.

Summer brings unique challenges that can completely disrupt even the most dedicated declutterer's routine. From sweltering heat making loft clearances unbearable to children being home from school, longer evenings spent in the garden, and the constant pull of holidays and outdoor activities. Rather than feeling guilty about your slowing progress, discover why this seasonal shift is completely natural and how to work with it rather than against it.

The hosts explore why so many people fall into the "I'll start again in September" trap and how this all-or-nothing mindset can actually set you back. Instead, they advocate for a gentler approach that keeps your home "ticking over" during the busier summer months whilst still allowing you to enjoy the season.
