Candid Divorce Lawyer

In this deeply honest and inspiring episode of The Candid Divorce Lawyer Podcast, host Kimberley Davies is joined by content creator Laura Mountford, better known as Laura Cleanaholic, to explore how cleaning, decluttering and caring for your home can become a powerful form of self‑care during relationship breakdown, separation and divorce.

Laura shares her personal story of living in a controlling relationship, feeling isolated from friends and family, and how small, intentional cleaning rituals helped her regain control, regulate her nervous system and protect her mental health during an incredibly difficult time. What began as a coping mechanism later became the foundation for her successful career as a cleaning and home influencer, after leaving an 18‑year corporate career to pursue a more aligned life.

Together, Kim and Laura discuss:
Recognising controlling behaviour and unhealthy relationship dynamics

Why cleaning and decluttering can support mental health during separation

How home routines can restore a sense of control, safety and calm

Practical cleaning hacks and time‑saving tips for busy parents

Decluttering strategies when selling a family home after divorce

How to emotionally and practically prepare for a fresh start in a new home

Why caring for your space is caring for yourself

This episode is especially valuable for anyone navigating divorce, separation, emotional abuse recovery, co‑parenting transitions, downsizing, or moving home, as well as those interested in the link between home environment, mindset and wellbeing.

✨ Laura also shares accessible, realistic advice for people who don’t love cleaning — from mindset shifts and affordable products to simple routines that fit into real life.
