You’ve more than likely heard the chatter about Marie Kondo, the creator of the KonMari method of organizing, supposedly “giving up”… but as we all know, there’s always more to a story than a clickbait-y headline leads us to believe. As one of the world’s first KonMari-trained and -certified organizers, Amanda shares her personal reaction to this media coverage, she and Brooke dive in to what it really means to have a space and life that sparks joy while giving up on the idea of perfection, and they reflect on why organizing and decluttering can be particularly important when facing loss.

Amanda then shares a joy-sparking budgeting tool that’s giving her a better view of household spending, and Brooke passes on another handy tip courtesy of Fran that is great to remember when you need to de-fog, stat.

Please note: Amanda is speaking as herself and of her own experience in this episode, and not as a representative of Marie Kondo or the KonMari organization.
