Your House Shouldn't Be Something You Recover From
About this episode
Gina Livy and professional organizer Effy Terry discuss the impact of clutter on midlife and how to create a home that supports recovery rather than hinders it.
You keep meaning to deal with it. The closet, the freezer, the room you close the door on. And you keep not doing it, then wondering what's wrong with you. Professional organizer and certified KonMari consultant Effy Terry joins Gina to talk about why nothing is wrong with you, why clutter in midlife is really just catch-up, and why the clothes in the back of your closet are keeping you stuck at a size and a stage you've already left. They get into aspirational buying, sunken cost, body doubling, sharing a home with someone whose system isn't yours, and why an organized pantry has more to do with weight loss after 40 than anyone tells you. One thing you can change today: open one drawer and get rid of the past versions of yourself. Because your home should be the place you recover in, not the place you recover from.
