You’ve spent your whole life feeling like something’s wrong with you. Here’s a radical thought: what if you’re not broken - just different? Welcome to Different, Not Broken, the no-filter, emotionally intelligent, occasionally sweary podcast that challenges the idea that we all have to fit inside neat little boxes to be acceptable. Hosted by L2 (aka Lauren Howard), founder of LBee Health, this show dives into the real, raw and ridiculous sides of being neurodivergent, introverted, chronically underestimated - and still completely worthy. Expect deeply honest conversations about identity, autism, ADHD, gender, work, grief, anxiety and everything in between. There’ll be tears, dead dad jokes, side quests, and a whole lot of swearing. Whether you're neurodivergent, neurotypical, or just human and tired of pretending to be someone you’re not, this space is for you. Come for the chaos. Stay for the catharsis. Linger for the dead Dad jokes.

In this episode, I’m digging into why paperwork is so overwhelming (hint: it’s not just about mess) and how you can start to feel in control again —without needing a whole weekend, colour-coded folders, or a trip to the stationery store.

We’ll talk about: Real declutter strategies that work even when you’re short on time and energy The truth behind why paperwork keeps piling up The KonMari perspective on paper—and why it might just be the most powerful category to tackle What’s really going on beneath the surface of all that clutter My go-to micro-step to contain the chaos (this alone changes everything) If you’re craving more intention , more clarity, and a calmer home, this one’s for you.

How parenting a PDA child taught me a better way to declutter, organize my home, and let go of perfectionism, with guest Casey Ehrlich #157 49:28

👉 For a bit of extra support grab my free 15-Minute Declutter Kickstart HERE Discover how parenting a child with Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) led me to a new, more realistic approach to decluttering, organizing my home, and letting go of perfectionism — lessons every overwhelmed parent can use. Have you ever felt like you're failing because your home doesn’t look like a magazine? Wondered why traditional organizing advice just doesn’t seem to work for your real life? Me too. Especially when autism, burnout, and daily survival were the reality — not pretty color-coded baskets. In today’s episode, I’m joined by Casey from At Peace Parents — a brilliant coach and mentor for families parenting PDA and neurodivergent kids. Together, we talk about how raising a neurodivergent child completely changes your relationship with tidying, decluttering, and home organization. It forced both of us to rethink everything we thought we knew — even my beloved KonMari practices. It made us ask: What really matters when you’re building a home? Matching cushions... or emotional safety? During Autism Awareness Month, I wanted to have this real, important conversation. Because whether you're parenting a child with autism, raising a kid with PDA, or just juggling the mental load of motherhood, you’ll find yourself somewhere in this story. You’ll walk away with a fresh, intentional perspective on organizing your home — one that prioritizes calm over perfection, connection over control, and sanity over spotless surfaces. If you’ve ever battled clutter, perfectionism, or the invisible pressure to "keep up," you need this episode. This is your permission to choose what actually works for your family — not what looks good on Instagram. Ready to let go and create a home that truly supports you? Let’s dive in. 👉 You can find out more about Casey’s work at At Peace Parents here: Website - At Peace Parents Instagram: At Peace Parents I would LOVE to hear from you. Text Message me here.

You’ve tried to declutter before. You know what to do. But the moment you start... you freeze. Sound familiar? You’re not lazy. You’re not messy. You’re protecting yourself.

I’ll walk you through the real, emotional blocks behind clutter and why so many people feel stuck in their organizing journey. You’ll learn how the KonMari Method can support deep healing — gently, intentionally, and at your pace. This episode is packed with insight, compassion, and fresh declutter strategies that go far beyond the surface. If home organization has ever left you in tears or feeling like a failure, this is your sign to listen. Because this isn’t about perfection. It’s about peace.

What if letting go of clutter could give you more than just a tidy home? Have you ever gone on holiday and thought, Why can’t my house feel this calm and clear all the time? In this episode, I’m chatting with Melissa Pruitt—an online entrepreneur who spent a year travelling full-time, taking with her only what could fit in the car she shared with her husband and their dog (yes, really). When they finally opened their storage unit after 12 months on the road, what they found—and what they didn’t miss—sparked a massive declutter. We’re talking about the real cost of clutter, why we hang onto stuff we don’t need, and what happens when you finally ask: Do I even want this in my life anymore? Melissa’s journey is packed with powerful reminders—about intentional living, mindful tidying, and how the KonMari method and smart declutter strategies can completely shift how you feel in your space. If you’re overwhelmed, constantly tidying but never feeling “done,” or just sick of staring at drawers full of stuff you never use—this one’s for you. Let’s rethink home organization. Let’s simplify. Let’s stop waiting for the “perfect time.” Press play now and discover how to take back control of your space—without needing to pack up your life and hit the road (unless you want to).

Autism-Friendly Home Organization Strategies for Overwhelmed Parents – World Autism Acceptance Month 2025 Decluttering is hard for so many kids — but for autistic children, it can feel downright impossible. That’s because what looks like “just stuff” to us often holds comfort, predictability, and emotional meaning for them. In this episode, we’re tackling the reality of helping your autistic child let go of toys, clothes, and school items without triggering meltdowns, power struggles, or distress. I’ll walk you through how to approach decluttering with empathy , structure , and practical tools that empower your child — not overwhelm them. Whether your child finds it hard to part with broken toys or outgrown clothing, or you’re simply feeling stuck, this is a gentle, realistic guide to making it work. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why letting go is so emotionally difficult for many autistic children How to use “thank you” boxes and keep boxes to reduce stress Tips for decluttering broken or outgrown items without overwhelm How to give your child control and choice when tidying their room The power of celebrating small wins and knowing when to stop for the day What to do with sentimental items that are too hard to let go of Plus, I’ll share how I’ve used these strategies with my own children, including my son with autism and PDA, and why creating a safe, supportive bedroom environment is far more important than perfection. Key takeaway: Decluttering isn’t about taking things away — it’s about making space for what matters. And when we make space with care and empathy, our kids feel more safe, more regulated, and more connected to their space. Mentioned in this episode: 🎁 Grab your free guide: 15 Minute Declutter Reset for Moms of Neurodivergent Kids – A simple, actionable way to get organized without the overwhelm, even when you have no time.

What if you had to step away from running your home for an entire week? Would everything fall apart—or keep running smoothly? I just spent a full week in bed with the flu , completely unable to do anything. No tidying, no cooking, no keeping up with daily life. And yet, my home didn’t descend into chaos. Laundry got done, meals were made, and everything just worked. 👉 Why? Because of the systems and organization already in place. Medications were easy to find, the meal plan kept dinner stress-free, and the kids knew exactly where things were. This experience was a powerful reminder that home organization isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating a home that supports you when you’re not at 100%. 💡 A well-organized home works for you during life’s curveballs—illness, work stress, or unexpected challenges. 💡 It dramatically reduces mental load, stress, and the overwhelming feeling of “catching up” when life gets hectic. 💡 Even small steps toward decluttering and tidying make a difference—you don’t need an Instagram-perfect home, just one that feels like a hug when you walk in. Want to know how I set up my home so it functions without me? Tune in now to learn practical, realistic declutter strategies that help you build a home that supports your future self. 🎧 Listen now and take one small step toward a clutter-free, stress-free home today!
