Morganize with Me

Suzy shares the mic with me today and she is the perfect person to share all about how to prioritize your physical health. She is an avid runner and is actually featured in the Guinness Book of World Records (you'll have to tune in to hear what for!). Not only is Suzy a mom of four, she also hosts a fabulous podcast called Run Lift Mom. Be sure to go listen and also check out episode 45 when I joined her for an interview. Suzy encouraged me and also helped me to think of motivation in a new way. I think you'll find some great takeaways! Remember to prioritize YOU and your health.

Monica Leed joins me today. Monica has a design background in the fast-paced film industry. She spent over ten years cultivating curiosity in the art of efficient space design, time management, and the power of organizational systems. Then in 2011, life threw her an unexpected curveball that reminded her that a demanding career without a balanced home life will leave you feeling stuck and uninspired. I loved hearing more of her story, how she discovered how to bring her life into a better balance, and why she wrote her book Simply Spaced. Monica is the CEO and Owner of her brand and company Simply Spaced. For all of the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

On this episode, my sweet daughter, Ainsley shared the mic with me. We chatted about how to balance your time and energy with your friends and relationships. Ainsley, at the young age of only 18, is wise beyond her years. She helped to shed some light into what teens are navigating these days, specifically when it comes to technology and accessibility. It's a different culture! And she also shared some great tips on how to use boundaries when necessary. I should mention that I shared that she and I are both 9's on the Enneagram. Well, after recording this episode, I have learned that I'm actually a 3 on the Enneagram. I have some 9 tendencies, but all in all I'm more of a 3. (If you know what I'm referring to this may make some sense, if not just disregard!) Ainsley, however, is still a 9. She is as easy going as they come.

Lisa, also known as "Neatfreak McKinney," grew up in beautiful Idaho as the oldest of seven children. Her mom is also a neat freak. (She had to be in order to stay sane in a house with nine people.) So Lisa learned early on that work always comes before play. It was one of the best things her parents ever taught her. She has always loved taking care of, decorating, and organizing her own home. And when her daughter left for college in 2006, she was heartbroken. Her life as she had known it was forever changed. In her sadness, her sweet friends all encouraged her to start her own business, using her gift of home organization. Which is how "Neat Freak" was born! When you tune in to today's episode, you will hear how Lisa developed her professional organizing business, how she recommends prioritizing your time, and (my personal favorite) why unplugging is SO important for our mental health. Lisa is relatable, realistic, and she is also leading the charge with #realorganizersoninstagram - be sure to go follow! Neither Lisa or I would ever want you to think we have it all together (we don't)! We are just like you, working to prioritize and plan our days as effectively as we can, while also navigating all of the endless hurdles along the way.

Micah Maddox is a national women's conference speaker, Bible teacher, blogger, and author of Anchored In: Experience a Power-Full Life in a Problem-Filled World. She is passionate about helping women find purpose, peace, and calm in our chaotic world. As a pastor's wife, mother of three, and foster mom, she contributes her time to her family and local church serving as a women's ministry leader. We discuss how to prioritize and protect your spiritual health. I loved her tangible and realistic tips. As a fellow mom, I was SO thankful that she shared the grace we need to give ourselves. As women, we can tend to be so hard on ourselves, trying to keep up with checklists and to-dos rather than on being. I hope you find much freedom in Micah's words and suggestions. And also that you can remember this: practical is much more important than perfection. For all of the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."
