Frank Turner has had a huge year so far. Along with breaking the world record for playing the most shows across multiple cities in 24 hours and keeping up a nonstop touring schedule, the UK-based punk singer-songwriter has also released his 10th solo album, Undefeated, which might be his most vulnerable work to date. Over the course of 14 tracks he tackles aging, talks openly about mental health, puts arguments with his younger self to rest, discusses the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, pays tribute to the excitement inherent in record shops, and celebrates the joy of punk rock with honest lyrics that are visceral, defiant, and introspective. Undefeated is available now via Xtra Mile Recordings. Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls are currently touring North America and will be bringing the Lost Evenings festival to Toronto for the first time later this month.

For busy young working moms who've tried and failed, understanding that decluttering is a gradual process rather than a quick fix can change everything. Let me explain.
