Send us a text Does organizing stress you out? Or, do you simply need to organize your stress more? Well, we'll cover a little of both topics in this bonus episode. I'll talk candidly about my previous week and give some real life examples of how organizing can be stressful for even the most experienced of organizers. And I'll share how I've been managing my stress levels with working and being on the road.

Send us a text Hey Labelers! Sorry I've been gone for so long. Spring and summer are my busiest seasons, and I've been working in two states again, so even though I've tried to record, I haven't always had time to edit. No worries though! We're picking back up with our Hoarding Series and in no time, we'll have all of those episodes completed and then we can talk about the holidays. Yay! Support the show

Send us a text Note: After recording this episode, I read an article from the U.S. Sun, dated January 30, 2025, talking about how The Container Store pulled out of bankruptcy in an effort to go private and restructure. They were in debt TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION DOLLARS. Apparently, they've received $40 million to figure things out. The article stated that "financial experts" blamed their struggle on high mortgage rates - that "when people move, they buy a heck of a lot of storage and org...

Send us a text In this first episode of five, of our first-ever hoarding "series," we're going to explore the idea of Hoarding being on its own spectrum and possibly NOT the OCD spectrum, as many currently believe. As I say frequently, I am NOT a mental health professional, but I DO have many opinions on this topic after spending years watching hoarders and their habits. It's something to think about and it's kicking off our discussion on this topic as a whole. Support the show

Send us a text Hey Everyone! The first episode of the Hoarding series has been recorded. It should be out in the next few days! The reason I'm publishing THIS episode about Organizing Excuses NOW is because we just launched on YouTube and I want you all to head over there right away, so you can like and subscribe. I also want there to be "tandem" episodes that go along with the Hoarding series, so that those who aren't ready for the "heaviness" of Hoarding, there will be other episodes to cho...

Send us a text Since this podcast began, over a year ago, we've talked quite a bit about Organizing, a little about Cleaning, and very little about Hoarding - while Hoarding is by far the HARDEST habit for people to deal with. In this introduction, I talk candidly about my feelings, in regards to how the topic of Hoarding is portrayed, on TV and in the news. I also talk about the Hoarding SERIES coming up that I put together, exclusively for this podcast, and how I believe it will help those ...

Send us a text I hope everyone had a Happy Easter! This episode was recorded over the holiday weekend, but I didn't have time to edit and upload while my family was in town. I hope you can forgive me, as well as get something out of this interesting topic! Do you find yourself cutting a ribbon or string off of a new package and "saving it for later"? There's actually nothing wrong with that, unless there's more of the "saving" in your life and not as much of the "using it for later" par...

Send us a text I was ripping up some papers the other day that didn't mean anything to me when they came in the mail, so they certainly didn't mean anything while I was throwing them in the trash, and I was reminded that some things are just easier to get rid of than others. In this episode, let's talk about that feeling of being "torn" when deciding what goes and what stays, WHO gets to make decisions about where stuff goes and how you can move on with your life, if you really want to. ...

Send us a text Hi Labelers! Never meant to take such a long break, but it's been a crazy month. In this episode, I'll bring everyone up to speed about where I'm at with my business and current schedule and what's coming ahead for the podcast. Let's get into it! Support the show

Send us a text Hey Labelers! This week, we're on Spring Break, so the pod is ALSO taking a much- needed break! The first half of the week, we did a staycation, and I picked up Bird and Squirrel Watching! I'm really loving it. I bought a squirrel feeder and have been taking video of them eating and playing. So, then I started a YouTube channel and now I'm officially a Bird Lady lol. My boyfriend said something this morning that gave me an awesome idea. He said that he's been listening to...

Send us a text We see it all of the time, on Instagram, in magazines... People transferring ALL of their groceries into perfectly shaped bins and for what? To have more bins to wash, clean and replace? Well, sometimes it makes sense - and I'll tell you why and when. We'll also talk about what to do when something does NOT work and the importance of pivoting.

Send us a text Is Organizing just like Dating? Well, no. But there are similarities in terms of what "types" people are. Can a 1 and a 4 date? Don't take my word for it. Once you know these types, where YOU fall and what you should look for - in a partner or just a friend - I think you'll form your own opinion. And you should! Join me for this somewhat unique episode and see if it helps you navigate current and future relationships. Support the show

Send us a text Like most of you, I just LOVE curbside pickup and what it's done for my life and my schedule. However, if I get one more BAD banana... [Sigh]. I wanted to dive deeper into the concept of dealing with a couple of bad bananas in a sea of decent grocery orders. We can also apply this to how we look at organizing projects and just daily life in general. As always, if you're listening to this episode, it means you are a subscriber and doing your part to support this podcast. And, wi...

Send us a text What's the status of all of your picture frames right now? How are they holding up? Are they old? Cheap? Crashing to the ground any time you try to dust around them? In this 10-Minute task, while Sara is out on location, we talk about spending time evaluating your frames. Do they need to be replaced? Maybe they just need a little attention? Is that picture an original? Should you scan it to THE cloud? Let's talk for a few minutes... or ten. Or, maybe this will be the jump start...
