Season 2 Episode 45

This week we are joined by the Founder of Simplified, Megan Golightly, to discuss the power of a peaceful orderly space. Sensitive, this is foundational. You require calm and ease in your home environment. Clutter, disorganization, and chaos can turn on your brain's alarm mode and cultivate nervous system overactivation. What does this feel like? Anxiety, overwhelm, and even depression! We all want the end results of a spacious home, but how do we get inspired, feel motivated, make the time, and maintain it? Megan is here to guide us! With a background in psychology, she focuses on the meaning behind every action or inaction. Removing shame, guilt, and avoidance, Megan takes us deep into ourselves to show us the way out, revealing our subconscious programming, identifying the emotional layers, and highlighting common blocks. Prepare for multiple reframes and fascinating clarification on the organizational process. Don't worry, perfection is not the goal. Freedom, relief and ease are Megan's passion. You will finish this episode understanding the truth of Simplified - by transforming your home you are actually transforming you.

  4. Quotes:

    "For Sensitives, there is often an expectation of perfection that leaves us paralyzed. It’s easier for us to do nothing than to do something incorrectly and have to deal with the mistake. We can support this by asking ourselves questions that reframe this behaviour.” - Megan Golighly

    “Setting an appointment with yourself dedicated to organizing helps you stay focused. Whether that means putting on music, inviting over a friend or lighting candles, setting aside the time and creating the environment helps you stay in the game.” - Megan Golighly

    “Often children grieve something when they have to let it go. You can’t stop grief, it’s going to happen so the best thing to do it to allow them to feel sad. When you allow them to work through the emotions you create the opportunity for new neural pathways to form that can be used later in life when they may suffer the loss of a person or face difficulties of their own.” - Megan Golightly
