Why Your Home Should Support You, Not Stress You Out - Kerry Hart
Show notes
Kerry Hart is the founder of The Secret Mum Club, a home organisation business helping busy families create spaces that feel calmer, more practical and easier to live in. After 20 years in the reinsurance industry, she stepped away from corporate life and turned something she had always instinctively done into a business of her own.
In this conversation, Kerry talks about what home organisation really means. It is not about creating a picture-perfect house or chasing an unrealistic standard. Instead, her focus is on putting simple systems in place that save time, reduce stress and make daily life work better for the people living there.
The episode also touches on the emotional side of clutter and the pressure many families feel around home life. Kerry shares practical thinking around decluttering, keeping only what is needed, and being intentional about what comes back into the house. What comes through clearly is that an organised home is not about perfection. It is about giving yourself more breathing room.
