“Does it spark joy?”

If that question sounds familiar, then you may be as big of a Marie Kondo fan as we are.

So, you can imagine how excited we are to bring you today’s guest, Amanda Jefferson, who is one of the world’s first KonMari consultants.

Like a salve for our inner perfectionist selves, Amanda offers an alternative to the toxic organization that our culture and consumerism try to sell us.

Just like perfectionistic beauty standards, perfectionistic organizing standards won’t bring us happiness — but being ruthless about what brings us joy just might.

HERE'S A SNEAK PEEK OF THE GOODNESS… “Guilt is not joy." — Amanda Jefferson WHAT YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT IN THIS EPISODE…

• What toxic organization looks like and how to recognize when we’ve fallen into it

• Slipping into stress organizing when we feel out of control

• Being ruthless about letting go — and why you sometimes need to hang on to that Hootie and the Blowfish CD

• Tackling organizing as a couple

• How to find the minimum effective dose and max-mod-min of things
