I used to live with chronic anxiety, clutter and overwhelm (so I get you).
As a working mum of two girls living and creating in London, I know how easy it is to feel pulled in every direction while trying to maintain a creative practice.
I have taught Art in secondary education since 2004 and also coach and mentor other creatives. I’ve seen the same challenges crop up time and time again: feeling overwhelmed, overbuying supplies, living with cluttered spaces, leaving projects unfinished, losing track of tools, and carrying a heavy sense of not quite measuring up.
I know these struggles because I’ve lived them. For decades, my life was a whirlwind of creative chaos—until I discovered minimalism over a decade ago. Embracing simplicity changed everything.
Only recently diagnosed with ADHD, I spent most of my life battling feelings of overwhelm, living in a cluttered home, juggling countless half-finished projects, constantly misplacing things, and making mistakes. These challenges left me feeling like a failure and often weighed me down with depression.
I learned that having less creates space for what truly matters. By prioritising, decluttering, and organising your life, you not only feel lighter and more in control, you also unlock your full creative potential and step into a more focused, fulfilling way of living.
My healing journey began when I embraced simplicity. I streamlined my home, implemented organisation strategies, and discovered the transformative power of minimalism to boost both my productivity and creativity. Living in London, with a small home studio, has taught me how to maximise small spaces without sacrificing my Artistic ambitions.
Fast forward to today: I’m living a calmer, more fulfilling life.
While I may be further along in my minimalist journey, I’m still learning and evolving. That’s why I’d love for you to join me because this is about growing together.
