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!

Sort Your Life Out Unpacked is hosted by tidying expert Dilly Carter. In each episode, Dilly chats to a celebrity guest and unboxes three mystery objects from their home that reveal what is really important to them. At the end, Dilly asks her guest whether they are going to keep, donate or recycle any of the items and, along the way, we learn how to organise and sort our own lives out.
