In this inspiring episode, Simon Cockram sits down with Lucy Wahl, founder of LMW Edits, a boutique professional organising company based in San Francisco. With a background that includes Princeton, an MBA from UCLA, and experience in fundraising at Stanford, Lucy brings a unique and thoughtful perspective to the world of home organisation.

Lucy shares how clutter is far more than just mess — it’s a source of stress that impacts our mental health, relationships, and overall well-being. She explains how an organised home can be the foundation of a well-lived life, especially for busy professionals and families juggling multiple demands. Simon and Lucy dive into everything from the psychology of tidying to simple, habit-based solutions inspired by Atomic Habits.

They talk about communication in relationships, teaching kids to clean up, reshaping gender roles at home, and how to stop resenting your partner over household chores. Lucy’s advice is practical, empowering, and full of compassion.

Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by your space or want to create a home that supports your best life, this conversation is packed with insight and real-world tools. Don’t miss this one — it’s time to declutter your home and your head.
