Michell Domke, KonMari Consultant joins us to discuss how we can show up in the world as our authentic self every day.

Today we’ve invited Michell Domke, Ohio’s first KonMari Consultant, to explore authenticity and how we can channel, discover, and work within it during the tidying process. Michell’s currently based in Columbus and she fell in love with creating a life based on joy and wanted to support others in creating joyful lives.

    • "Authenticity means being true to yourself."
    • "It's an active choice to choose what you love."
    • "Accepting it into your life by choice, not by default, is really important."
