LIVE WORKSHOPS! Join us for our Clutter Clinic Workshops, where we’ll tackle the mess and create simple systems that actually work for your life! Whether it’s your closet, kitchen, garage, digital files, or even that endless pile of paper, we’ve got you covered with practical, doable strategies that make organizing easy—and even a little fun!
Thanks to our amazing sponsor, Kate Hufnagel, aka the Digital Wrangler, we’re starting the year with a focus on decluttering not just our homes, but our digital lives, too. You can check out her offerings here.
Ever feel like organizing your home is a solo mission, only for your family to come In this episode, I’m diving into how your personality affects the way you organize (or don’t) and sharing tips to help you create a closet that works for you.
I’ll walk through all nine Enneagram types, breaking down their unique struggles—because let’s be honest, a Type 1’s idea of “messy” is a Type 7’s idea of “organized chaos.” Whether you’re a meticulous Perfectionist, a sentimental Helper, or an out-of-sight-out-of-mind Enthusiast, I’ve got strategies to make your closet functional, efficient, and maybe even enjoyable. Plus, I’m spilling the details on our upcoming Clutter Clinic Closet Workshop—because sometimes, you just need a little outside help to finally tackle that avalanche of shoes.
