This week's podcast episode was inspired by someone in the Facebook group: “I’m fighting so hard for a peaceful home that is clear of clutter. My mind can’t handle the mess. It doesn’t seem to matter how much I take out and how constantly I do tidy ups…The mess keeps exploding and I feel like I’m doing nothing but tidying up from sunrise to sunset.” Can you relate? In Episode 176, I share my 3 steps to get you off the tidy up hamster wheel - for good! Things I'm Loving Right Now✨ Now that my kids are FINALLY going back to school, I have been focusing on keeping my work tasks organized so I can work more efficiently.
