A Grown Up's Gap Year
Streamline Your Lifestyle: Declutter, Create SPACE, and Feel Better Now
17 Nov 2025
Feeling better starts with space — physical first, mental next. In this candid, useful episode, Monique reads from her book, A Grown Up's Gap Year, on the beauty of simplicity, then gets real about the sandwich-generation juggle: a kitchen-table chat about Mum’s future, and a surprise moment of the bloke stepping in with calm, practical wisdom. You’ll leave with THIS WEEK’S GIVE (a 20-minute clear-out you can do today), a cut-and-paste Dear Blokes script, and a reminder that streamlining isn’t about perfect cupboards — it’s about buying back time and energy for the life you actually want.Book reading: why less can feel like moreThe sandwich generation (context that keeps it real)Story: “The dance around Mum”Story: “The bloke and the kidult”🎁 THIS WEEK’S GIVE: one 20-minute clear-out + the Dear Blokes scriptYour SPACE Prescription - moniquevantulder.com/your-space-prescriptionDear Blokes downloadable - moniquevantulder.com/.../Dear-Blokes-1.pdfChic Locals - moniquevantulder.com/?s=chic+localsFree Weekly Newsletter - moniquevantulder.com/category/newsletters📚 Get your copy of A Grown Up’s Gap Year the book, from Amazon, moniquevantulder.com, bookshops and libraries, subscribe to the podcast, and take the first step toward your own A Grown Up’s Gap Year.
