Tidying expert Dilly Carter chats to a celebrity guest and unboxes three revealing mystery objects from their home that reveal what is really important to them. Dilly asks whether they are going to keep, donate or recycle the items and, along the way, we learn how to organise and sort our own lives.
Sort Your Life Out Unpacked is an Optomen production for BBC iPlayer and BBC Sounds.
In this final episode of the series, young popstar extraordinaire turned wellness retreat host and sound healer Charlotte Church opens up creating a more intentional life and reveals her surprising morning routine.
Charlotte brings three items for Dilly to unpack, including a special performance and a dip into her spiritual side. They bond over R&B, tattoos and decluttering – but as someone who’d happily live outdoors, Charlotte can’t quite forgive Dilly’s track record with houseplants.
Charlotte may have left much of her past behind, but can Dilly uncover why she still can’t let go of her birthing pool?

Dr Alex George: A Hairdryer in Every Room
Dilly Carter is joined by mental health advocate and fellow podcast host Dr Alex George, who shares how embracing his differences has made his life infinitely better – and how he takes pride in tidiness, apart from his bathroom cupboard…!
Alex brings in three items from home that represent his life for Dilly to unpack. They talk about why he has a hairdryer in every room of the house, his love for motorbiking and the best stomping companion of all.
He opens up to Dilly about how he has learnt to create an environment that calms his mind and how his ADHD, autism and OCD diagnoses have transformed his understanding of himself and the way he lives day to day. Plus – Dilly is impressed by Alex’s method of reducing impulse purchases!

Louise Boyce: Where Do the Odd Socks Go?
Dilly is joined by content creator, model and ‘mumfluencer’ Louise Boyce, aka Mamastillgotit. She opens up about living in an ‘Instagram vs Reality’ house and embracing the chaos of home renovation when you’ve got young children.
Louise brings in three items from home for Dilly to unpack. They talk about the pair of helping hands that got Louise to where she is today, Dilly is confronted with her worst nightmare, and Louise reminisces about how she quite literally manifested her dream man.
Louise has documented it all, first in her diaries and then on social media; from teenage heartbreak through to self-love, motherhood and creating much-loved crazy fictional characters…
But can Dilly manifest a future where Louise’s ever-growing pile of odd socks is finally under control?
Dilly's conversation also includes a discussion of Louise's experiences with bulimia. Information and support for some of the issues covered in our programmes can be found at bbc.co.uk/actionline
