#39 How to Declutter, Downsize & Plan Your Move Like a Pro Organiser | Jo Jacob, Benella Home Organisation
If the thought of moving house makes you want to lie in bed with the covers over your head, you’re not alone. Downsizing, decluttering and packing up years of life is not just a logistical nightmare.
It’s emotional.
It’s overwhelming.
… and it can be absolute carnage if you don’t have a plan.
That’s why I sat down with the fabulous Jo Jacob, Professional Organiser and founder of Benella Home Organisation. Jo’s moved countless families (and herself) through every kind of transition you can imagine: downsizing, retirement, bereavement, you name it.
She’s got ten years of professional experience plus her own very real stories of navigating a massive downsize, dealing with sentimental clutter, and even finding… wait for it… an elephant tusk and a skeleton in a client’s attic.
We’re also diving into:
✨ How to deal with sentimental items without drowning in guilt or storage boxes
✨ The one thing you must do before getting removal quotes
✨ How to plan your kitchen before you’ve even got the keys
✨ A genius trick for keeping your children’s height markings when you move
✨ The emotional side of leaving a family home and how to actually make peace with it
