Pockets of Knowledge

In this episode of the Pockets of Knowledge podcast, host Desiree Stanley interviews Noelle Fowler, the owner and founder of Room to Breathe and a holistic declutter coach. Noelle shares her journey, which began during the pandemic when she started a professional organizing company. Realizing that merely organizing items wasn't solving the root cause of clutter, she shifted to holistic decluttering, focusing on the emotional aspects of why people hold onto things.

Noelle explains that holistic decluttering involves addressing emotional attachments, shopping habits, and the stories we tell ourselves about our belongings. She highlights common misconceptions and offers practical tips and suggestions to build the "decluttering muscle."

She shares how the clutter costs more than just money, it costs us our time, mental energy, and physical space. Noelle also addresses the challenge of managing items with emotional value, emphasizing the importance of not keeping things out of guilt. She encourages finding meaningful uses for sentimental items that honor their significance without contributing to clutter. This approach helps individuals make thoughtful decisions about what to keep and what to let go of.

Noelle shares insights and the experiences of her Making Room Membership, an online community for women that offers support, coaching, and accountability for simplifying their lives. Listeners can download her free guide, "Let's Make Room," for practical decluttering tips and inspiration. 

Be sure to tune in to hear more about Noelle's approach to focusing on ways to create lasting change by addressing both the practical and emotional aspects of decluttering.

In this informative episode of the Pockets of Knowledge podcast, host Desiree Stanley chats with Sarah Glasco, the dynamic founder of Mod Couple Publishing and Sarcrasstic Self Care. Sarah opens up about her transformative journey from a tenured college professor to a self-employed entrepreneur and author, spurred by a rare, restful night's sleep. This sudden epiphany led her to make the bold decision to quit her job without a backup plan.

Sarah shares the story behind the creation of her publishing company, which aims to help writers who prefer to avoid the self-publishing route. She also discusses Sarcrasstic Self Care, a brand that blends humor with mental health awareness. By merging humor with serious mental health topics, Sarah has crafted a unique approach that resonates with many who face similar challenges.

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis in her 50s had a profound impact on Sarah's life. She recounts the invaluable support from her long-term therapist and her decision to try medication, which greatly improved her quality of life. This diagnosis not only brought clarity but also helped her reframe her past experiences and better understand her lifelong struggles. She shares her book, "The Overthinking Chronicles: Cultivating Your Inner Comedian to Reframe Anxiety, Spark Self-Compassion & Trust, and Give Self-Doubt the Punchline It Deserves", and the upcoming Audible version.

Despite facing personal losses, including her father's death, Sarah talks about how she navigated grief, continued her work, and found a supportive community of late-diagnosed ADHD women on social media. Sarah's story of resilience, self-discovery, and the power of humor in overcoming life's challenges provides valuable insights for anyone navigating personal or professional transitions.
