#5 – Organisation & Calm | Andrea Lewis

🎙️ Guest Sessions: Andrea Lewis – Decluttering, Calm Spaces & Confidence at Home

In this episode of The Shoot Academy Guest Sessions, we’re joined by the thoughtful Andrea Lewis – professional organiser and founder of The Organised Curator.

Andrea’s work is all about moving beyond surface tidying and instead creating homes that truly support everyday life. With a gentle, practical approach, she blends systems, clarity, and emotional wellbeing to help people feel calmer, lighter, and more confident in their own spaces.

We talk about:

✨ The difference between tidying and organising – and why true organisation makes life easier long term

✨ How to tackle clutter without overwhelm – and why “decision fatigue” is the biggest blocker

✨ The role of emotional attachment in decluttering, and how to let go without guilt

✨ Simple seasonal resets – how to use the change of seasons as natural prompts to reorganise

✨ Why it’s okay to have a “Monica cupboard” – and how to create safe hideaway spaces for shoot days

✨ How order at home can boost confidence when hosting shoots (and life in general!)

✨ Practical tips to start small – from clearing fridge doors and hallways to time-boxing 30 minutes of focus

✨ Why outsourcing help – even just for a day – can save time, energy, and stress

✨ How Andrea’s background in event production shaped her approach to creating calm, functional environments

Whether you’re preparing your home for a shoot, craving more order in daily life, or simply ready for a reset, this episode is packed with gentle wisdom, practical advice, and calm inspiration.
