The only way to get organized and stay organized is to commit to the reset! What's a reset? It's when you take the extra minute(s) to put things back and keep things in place. It is critical to practice resetting. When you get home from shopping allow time to reset. When you move from room to room, put things away where they go. A system will only stay maintained if it its maintained (see what I did there?). For all the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

Sarah Bragg (Podcaster, Author, Communicator) hops on the podcast today to chat all about her new book, Is Everyone Happier Than Me? Sarah is an amazing communicator! She encourages you to sit where you are and ask yourself the tough questions. I SO appreciate her authenticity and curiosity.

If you pre-order or order her book (releasing March 19th, 2024) you'll also get access to a series of podcast episodes where she talks about perfectionism. (Head over HERE to claim your free gift if you order her new book.) You'll love learning from Sarah and I encourage you to also tune in to her podcasts Surviving Sarah and also be sure to check out her great free organizing resources.

In an age where everyone else's successes are flaunted in front of you on social media, it can be a struggle to feel true happiness and contentment exactly where you are. Throw in difficult circumstances—loss, heartbreak, change, midlife—and it's easy to understand why you feel lonely, lost, unsure of yourself, stuck, and, if you're honest with yourself, flat-out unhappy. Is Everyone Happier Than Me? provides practical and relatable answers to the questions you've probably already been asking about your life, and poses a few more, to help you figure out what's standing in the way of your happiness, peace, and connection.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month which seems like the perfect time to share with you our cancer journey. My husband, David was diagnosed in July of 2021 and thankfully just passed his two year mark of his "wait and watch" program. We shared more about his story on these episodes – Episode #11, Episode #12.

If you have any history of cancer in your family PLEASE talk to your primary care physician and discuss which cancer screenings you should schedule. Early detection is key!

As I shared in this episode the NEW screening age for colon cancer (a colonoscopy) is 45. Please send any questions my way and/or if you have your own cancer journey story, I'd love to hear. Cheers to good health!

David my best friend since 1993 joins me for part two of our discussion on how to organize as a couple. We share our five tips: communication, individual spaces, boundaries, blending styles, and strategies. We encourage you and your partner to take on the attitude of being a "good roommate." Organizing together and setting up your home works better when you use a teamwork approach.

We'd love to hear your feedback and also how you're navigating organizational systems in your home with your partner. It's an ongoing process and we encourage you to follow our five tips. If you want to hear more from David (he asked me to remind you that he's been on the podcast before: Episode #11, Episode #12, and Episode #111. (Yep - he's a regular!)

David (my partner in crime) joins me today on the podcast. This is a two part chat where we share how we have worked to blend our two organizing styles and honor each other in the process. In this first part we talk about how we were raised and how we prefer to set up our spaces. David has joined me before on the podcast Episode #11 and Episode #12.

This is often a challenging piece to navigate when you share your home and spaces with others. We hope this helps you to communicate and set up systems that work for you and your loved ones. If you don't subscribe to the MWM newsletter I encourage you to do so. This way you'll never miss an episode and I also share other tips and tools via the email news.

In today's episode I share all about what I learned and re-learned in 2023. And how my takeaways from last year have helped me to better redefine what I value and prioritize.

From my reflections and experiences I came up with the principle – Have What You Value & Value What You Have. Isn't that what it should be all about? But don't we often value too many different things? Or put our attention and energies towards things that aren't truly what we cherish and/or value?

I encourage you to do some soul work on this. Ask yourself if your calendar, commitments, and choices truly reflect your highest and most important values? And...if the answer isn't a resounding YES – make some changes. I did and I know you can too – if you need to. Life is a gift. We need to use our time intentionally and purposefully.

Stay tuned for the next two-part series where I unpack out to organize with your unorganized partner. For all of the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

In this episode I'm sharing five questions you can ask yourself when it comes to Organizing Your Home (this is the book I reference and recommend). These questions pertain to your home, but they can also be applied to your time, energy or schedule. Anything you want to manage better or more intentionally.

1. Dream: What do you want your space to look like?
2. Get Real: What does your space look like now?
3. List your frustrations: What's bugging you?
4. Get Specific: What's not working?
5. Set Some Goals: What do you want to achieve?

Consider these questions and evaluate where you want to make changes. Where are your tensions? What's not working for you? Where do you need systems? Remember less is truly MORE!
