You Might be the problem- Why You Don't Have Friends

If you are and adult and struggling to make or keep friends, this episode might sting a little and that is intentional.

We love to blame busy schedules, life changes, and other people, but what if the real reason you do not have close friendships is you.

In this episode, I talk honestly about three patterns I see over and over again with women who say they cannot make friends as adults.

Being self absorbed and never truly curious about others Living in a constant state of negativity or complaint Expecting connection without putting in real effort

This is not about shame. It is about awareness. Because friendships do not magically happen. They are built through presence, effort, and emotional maturity.

If you want deeper connections, this conversation is the mirror check most of us avoid but desperately need.

If this episode makes you uncomfortable, it is probably meant for you.

Listen with an open heart. Reflect honestly. And decide what kind of friend you want to be.

in this unfiltered, coffee-fueled episode of Organize Your Business & Life, I get real about my struggles since moving to Texas. I open up about sleepless nights, doom-scrolling Instagram, and spiraling into comparison. But in a moment of clarity, I found inspiration from a friend facing far greater challenges—she's fighting breast cancer and still showing up for her life and businesses. This episode is a wake-up call: we get out what we put in. If we're scattered, our results will be too. Let's stop making excuses and align our actions with our goals.

In this episode, I'm sharing how I'm using the book of Proverbs to plan my 2026 with clarity, intention, and God's wisdom — not just motivation. I'm doing a full re-read of Proverbs (I'm currently on chapter 15), and my goal is to finish before the new year. As I read, I'm reflecting on what I did well, where I drifted, and what I ignored — and then I'm turning those lessons into goals, habits, and reminders for 2026.

This is a practical, faith-led approach to planning that helps me stay grounded when life gets busy and I start to stray. If you've been craving a fresh start that's deeper than a to-do list, this episode will give you a simple framework to try for yourself.

In This Episode, I Share

• Why Proverbs is one of the most practical books in the Bible for everyday life and decision-making
• How I'm reflecting on my past year through the lens of wisdom (and what I've learned)
• What it looks like to connect results to choices — and use Scripture as guidance, not guilt
• My plan to finish Proverbs before January 1st and build goals from what stands out
• How I'm setting intentions based on Proverbs (not pressure, perfection, or hustle)
• The simple "reminder system" I'm creating for the moments I start to drift

My Proverbs-to-Goals Framework

If you want to do this with me, here's the process:

1. Read Proverbs consistently (even a chapter a day)
2. Write down what convicts you, encourages you, or grabs your attention
3. Reflect honestly: Where am I aligned? Where am I off track?
4. Turn each insight into one practical intention or habit for 2026
5. Create reminders so wisdom is easy to return to when life gets loud

Planning your year with God doesn't have to be complicated. Proverbs gives us a steady foundation — wisdom you can come back to again and again. This is about building a life that's aligned, intentional, and anchored… one decision at a time.

As you listen, pick one verse or theme from Proverbs that stood out to you — and turn it into an intention for 2026. Write it down somewhere you'll actually see it.

What happens when you stop trying to run the show and let God lead

In this episode, I'm sharing what it looks like to make God my CEO, not just in church life, but in my decisions, my business, my schedule, and my mindset. No pretending, no perfection, just a real conversation about surrender, obedience, and trusting God when you cannot see the full plan.

This episode is probably the most real one I've recorded so far.

I'm in what I can only describe as a humbling season. I moved to Texas and started my business completely over—from scratch—and it's been harder than I expected. Financially, emotionally, mentally… this season has stripped away my pride and forced me to slow down, reassess, and trust God in ways I haven't had to in a long time.

My income has been cut by more than half. My confidence has taken hits. And there have been moments where I've questioned myself, my decisions, and even my timing. But in the middle of all of that, I'm learning powerful lessons about humility, obedience, resilience, and what it really means to rebuild from the ground up.

If you're in a season where things don't look how you imagined… if you're starting over, feeling stretched, or quietly wondering "Did I miss it?"—this episode is for you.

I'm sharing honestly, without polish, about where I am, what I'm learning, and why I'm choosing to keep going anyway.

Because sometimes the humbling season isn't a setback—it's preparation.

If you've ever looked around your home and wondered why staying organized feels harder for you than it does for others, you're not alone. As a professional organizer here in North Texas, I see every type of clutter personality imaginable. The truth is this: most people aren't unorganized because they're lazy. They're unorganized because life is happening, and no one ever taught us how to set up a system that works.

Here are a few of the most common types of "unorganized personalities" I come across and why each one needs a different approach.

1. The Overwhelmed Busy Person

This person isn't messy; they're stretched thin. Work, kids, appointments, or caregiving responsibilities leave little room for maintenance. Clutter becomes a side effect of a packed schedule.

First step: Start with ten-minute sessions. Short bursts make progress without adding more stress.

2. The System-Seeker

They want to be organized, but they've never been taught how to create routines or systems. Without structure, things get piled up or put down "just for now."

First step: Begin with a simple framework. Something like the keep/donate/toss method or a basic labeling system makes a big difference.

3. The Sentimental Keeper

This person holds onto things for emotional reasons. Items represent memories, milestones, or people. Letting things go feels like losing a part of their story.

First step: Choose a small number of items to keep intentionally. A memory box or photo keepsake can preserve meaning without the overflow.

4. The Mental Load Juggler

ADHD, anxiety, depression, or simply carrying too much mental stress can make organization feel impossible. It's not the clutter that's the issue—it's the exhaustion behind it.

First step: Focus on one small, clearly defined area. Small wins build momentum and reduce overwhelm.

5. The "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" Type

Some people genuinely don't see clutter. Their brains filter it out, especially if they're visually overstimulated or focused elsewhere.

First step: Use clear bins or open shelving so items stay visible and easy to find.

In this episode, I'm getting real about something that has been bothering me for a long time—networking. You know… the business-card-swapping, pitch-heavy, smile-through-your-teeth kind of networking that so many of us have been told we "have to" do to grow a business.

Here's the truth: it doesn't feel authentic to me. It feels forced. Transactional. And honestly? A little exhausting.

So today, I'm talking about:

• Why traditional networking feels so fake and performative

• The pressure to "work the room" vs. actually connect with people

• What I've learned after starting over in a brand new city

• How social media made it worse (and sometimes better)

• Why building genuine relationships is the only way I want to grow my business

• How I'm using my own community—North Texas Boss Lady Besties—to connect in a real, supportive way

• And what networking could look like if we stopped trying so hard to sell and started showing up as actual humans

This episode isn't polished. It's honest. It's a conversation for anyone who has walked into a networking event and thought, "There has GOT to be a better way."

If you're craving real friendships, real community, and real connections in business—this one's for you.
