On the podcast today I want to share with you how to get anything you want done. I can confidently say I’m an expert in this area. I don’t feel overworked or overwhelmed- but I have a lot on the go, and I “somehow” manage to get it all done.

Spoiler: I don’t rely on “somehow”. 

I rely on really empowering thoughts and I am not a perfectionist. Listen in for tips on the mind and tactical tools to use in your life. 

It’s the final week of our home organization challenge and today we are talking through front entry tidy up so that its easy to access your Fall/Winter clothing and how to best create spaces for your family to easily find what they need as they head out the door. 

I have my best tips for small spaces and also talk through how I handle the shoes in our home- rotating out the summer flips flops and ensuring that everything we have out fits and is being worn. 

The bins I reference are here + hanging shelves here. 

This week we are talking through closet organization. There are two main questions you need to ask yourself today:

“Do I like this?” & “Do I wear this?” 

If you answer “no” to either it’s time to say ‘peace’ to that item of clothing. I will talk you through the guilt we often feel when going through this process and how to let that all go in order to create a space that feels light and inviting.

Hanging shelves for closet

This week we are taking it to the bathroom and cleaning out the elusive "under the bathroom counter". Mentally prepare yourself to say goodbye to all those products you aren't using or duplicates. 

I will give you some of my best tips on how I organize this space + advice to get you through this without any drama. 

Resources/Inspiration: 

I use these shelves to create more vertical space + these stackable bins. 

I also love the idea of these drawers to create more spaces for like items. 

It's time for some Fall organization, so this month is all about tackling those projects around the house that will make a difference in your every day feeling of calm. 

In this episode I review my tips on how to organize the papers in your house (you know, the bills, artwork, receipts and random scraps that float around from counter to counter), as well as your fridge. 

The goal is to do it all in less than 90 minutes- don't worry, I'll be with you every step of the way.

Routines are so important for kids and parents. Today I am walking you through the nitty-gritty of our nighttime routine. 

I'm talking about winding down post dinner, bath time, dark rooms, relaxation and A LOT about lighting. 

Here are some things I reference: 

• Mobility Program with Moveolution
• Red Lights on Amazon
• CBD Bath Bombs- Delush
• Salt Rock Lamp

How to Change iPhone to Red Light Mode:

Go to Settings- Accessibility- Display and Text Size- color Filters- Color TInt- Move the sliders for Intensity and Hue all the way to the right. Then go to Accessibility Shortcuts at the bottom and select Color Filters- then when you press the home button 3 times your phone will go in and out of red light mode.

"The Manual" is the book of rules we have for the people in our lives. It's what many of us use to control our feelings: "If you do this for me, I will feel this way"...  While this seems benign it can be very harmful to the way we show up and act in our lives. Tying our emotions to other peoples' actions always puts us on the losing end of the equation.

Today I want to teach you what the manual is and show you that you always have a choice about what to think and feel about the people in your life- no strings attached. 

Get ready to free yo'self!

The mountain of kids toys most of us have in our homes can feel overwhelming and is one of the hardest things to keep organized (IMO). Today I have some tips on how I keep our toys in order and manage all the “primary coloured things.” Whether it’s using different rooms for different types of toys, storing messy toys out of your kids’s reach,  having a bin for all the toys you don’t have a home for, and storing like with like- we take some time to walk through it all.

We all have urges- to check the phone, eat the food, drink the wine, scroll the “gram”. Today we dive into the nitty gritty of what drives an urge. Why does it feel so uncontrollable and how can we allow an urge to just be there instead of answering it all the time. I’m going to show you the difference between resisting and allowing an urge and how the brain works to reinforce habits acted on an urge because they are driven from such a primal spot. 

My aim is to help you work through anything in your life that feels compulsive- like you want to lose weight, but the urge to eat cookies at night is just too intense- so you give in at 8pm like clockwork. Let’s talk through it.

I know that overwhelm is something that Moms and women experience very regularly and that managing the kids, the house, the job, the social commitments and everything in between can feel extremely heavy. Today I want to help with cleaning up all these thoughts and the strategies I use to keep my life on track and my mind calm. 

Today we discuss: 

• How to do a brain dump and get every thought out of your brain 
• How to schedule your to-dos 
• How to eliminate your to-dos (and by this I mean- we don’t do them) 
• The “Mental Load”
