In this Summer Rewind episode of Two Women Chatting, we're joined by organisation expert and 'Sort Your Life Out' TV favourite Dilly Carter, bringing her no-nonsense wisdom and heartfelt compassion to one of midlife’s trickiest transitions - what to do with 'all the stuff' once the kids move out, or when it's time to help parents downsize.
💬 We talk:
* What’s really worth keeping from early memories (hint: maybe just one of each…)
* How to involve your kids in what stays and what goes (they might surprise you!)
* Turning chaos into calm by categorising memories
* Where to start when it all feels overwhelming
💡 Plus:
* The secret to reducing clutter (spoiler: it’s not just about storage!)
* When one of you is a hoarder - what then?
* Clever ways to make cash from unwanted items
* Dilly’s golden rules for helping elderly parents move or sorting a family home with care, compassion and clarity
* Donating with purpose - how to benefit others with what you let go
🎁 And her go-to items that are actually worth investing in for a more organised life.
This is an episode packed with practical, kind-hearted advice and the occasional laugh about just how attached we can become to a drawer full of tangled cables. Whether you're staring down an attic full of forgotten toys or trying to respectfully declutter after loss, this one's for you.
📦 Less mess, more meaning.
