Rewind 2023: Revisiting Swedish Death Cleaning (#279)

In this week's episode, we're hitting the rewind button ⏪ to revisit a topic that was the top episode in 2023 —Swedish death cleaning. Back in 2018, it was a bit of a head-scratcher 😕, with folks finding it morbid. Fast forward to today, and Swedish death cleaning is getting more recognition, though maybe not as much as it deserves.

Join us as we unravel the brilliance ✨ behind this unique methodology designed to empower individuals, whether they're older or simply young at heart, to kickstart the decluttering journey sooner rather than later. Discover the transformative power of Swedish death cleaning and share your thoughts on whether this approach resonates with you. It's time to explore the art of letting go 🎈 and creating space for a more intentional and meaningful life. 🏡💫

Thanks for listening, as always!

Originally from the UK, Shelina has lived in Dubai for over 18 years, where she founded her home and office organising company DeCluttr Me.

Previously a solicitor, Shelina knew her heart was elsewhere. She never gave up on her dream of becoming a professional organiser and decided to take the leap, launching DeCluttr Me in 2013, the region’s first licenced, professional organising service. Shortly after, Shelina launched her highly successful DeCluttr Me podcast, now one of the top 20% of podcasts worldwide. In 2022, the total downloads increased to 41,800 from 29,600 in 2021. Her first book “Can You Find it in Five Seconds?” was a natural next step on her mission to helping people lead more relaxed, motivated, and productive lives – free of clutter!

2023 marks a decade in business for Shelina and she’s seen demand for decluttering increase significantly. Plus, she’s realised how the service goes beyond simply organising for many people. Having a large amount of clutter can also be a sign of mental health issues or someone struggling with their emotional well-being. Shelina helps many clients who are going through a difficult period, such as divorce and bereavement; often, dealing with an accumulation of possessions is one of the first steps they take on the journey to rebuilding their life.
