Episode 38: 'Organising Your External Environment For More Internal Peace' with Vicky Silverthorn
Does a messy, disorganised environment make you feel anxious? Perhaps decluttering and having a minimal clutter helps you feel internally calmer? Or maybe you're desperate to for this but just unsure where to begin?!
If that's the case, you'll love this week’s guest, professional organiser, entrepreneur and author Vicky Silverthorn. Vicky started her business, You Need A Vicky, over 12 years ago, back in the days when people hadn't heard of this job role. She is an adopted mum of one and lives in Richmond, Surrey.

Reframing simplicity and productivity with an ADHD slant
Why Vicky needed a practical hands-on career before she even knew she had ADHD
