About Me

THE UPSIDE PLANAND HOW EVERYTHING STARTED

In 2018, my journey into minimalism began quite unexpectedly. It all started when a flatmate commented on an outdated dress I was wearing, prompting me to reevaluate not just my wardrobe, but all my possessions. This deep dive into decluttering led me to discover “Zero Waste Home,” a book that profoundly influenced my approach to simplifying my life. This was the moment that set everything in motion, guiding me toward a more organized and intentional lifestyle.  🌱

As I transformed my own space, my mother expressed interest in adopting some of the systems I was implementing. However, it quickly became apparent that these systems weren’t immediately applicable to her situation. It was during the challenging times of the Corona pandemic, with my mother unable to work, that I developed what would later be known as the upside plan. This plan wasn’t just about organizing; it was about starting from the foundation. Together, we embarked on a journey that saw her household reduced to about a third of its original size, complemented by a thorough digital declutter 📱🗑️

After officially launching the upside plan, I ventured into the world of YouTube, sharing my insights and experiences with a wider audience. However, within a year, I realized that being in front of the camera wasn’t for me. I thought this realization marked the end of my journey with the upside plan. But, after stepping back and engaging in some projects, I discovered that my passion for what I do was still very much alive. This reignited my commitment, and I decided to breathe new life into the upside plan, focusing on the aspects that truly resonated with me.

It shows: we can find back to what truly matters

The upside plan is more than just a method; it’s a reflection of my journey, my learnings, and my desire to help others find simplicity and joy in their lives 🌿
