17: Table Bedrooms and Other Rule-Breaking Room Ideas with Julie Lause


Listen Later

Julie Lause, AKA the Bossy Mom, joins me today! She and I met and became friends on TikTok.

Most new parents face the pressure of trying to make sense of things and figuring out how to get everything done. When Julie had her daughter, she was a school principal three years into a school turnaround project. Yet she still managed to keep her home organized by setting up systems. The Bossy House project started because she had friends who were bosses at their jobs, but things at home were a mess. So they needed help. 

Julie is a Co-founder and Chief of Schools of a small charter school organization in New Orleans. She does the Bossy House project on the side to help families put systems in place at home. Let’s dive into how she does that!

Show highlights:

  • How the Bossy House started.
  • The conflicting feelings Julie had after becoming a mom.
  • How Julie’s daughter’s “table bedroom” came about.
  • How the pandemic inspired many of those who took Julie’s Be the Boss of Your Home course re-imagine their homes in the wackiest of ways!
  • The life-changing benefits of customizing your home in any way you choose!
  • What keeps most people from making creative and functional changes to their houses?
  • What you need to consider when re-imagining your house.
  • How Julie helps moms develop the courage and confidence they need to create a personal area in the home that allows them to feel calm and happy.
  • How Julie deals with people who have anxiety around clutter and clearing up.
  • Why I believe that anxiety disorders are underdiagnosed in women.
