- 008: What Our Physical Clutter Tell Us About Our Mental Clutter with Kenzie Harkey
In today’s episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast, I’m chatting with Kenzie Harkey, a professional home organizer and the Founder & CEO of Simply Dare. Through Simply Dare, Kenzie helps busy and overwhelmed homeowners take control of the physical clutter in their life and build systems that keep their homes functional and beautiful. I was so curious about how home organization can affect mental health AND what our physical clutter might tell us about our mental clutter. If you struggle to get your clutter under control, this is the episode for you!

Some of Kenzie’s amazing tips and takeaways are:
- When organizing a space, visualize what you want your space to look like. Write down three words that you want to describe how you want the space to look and feel when you’re done re-organizing it to help guide the design and organizational systems.
- Pay attention to the items in your space that you’re holding onto because of other people’s expectations, or the expectations you’ve placed on yourself. Letting go of the expectations helps you unload those unwanted items - and those unwanted thoughts!
- Make sure everything coming into your home has a purpose, and that you’re practicing being a more conscious consumer. Remember: bins and other organizational items that don’t have a purpose are just clutter, too!

55 min - 005: How to Get Clarity When You Don't Know What You Want
When you’re in a place of stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, you might be asking yourself, “what do I even want anymore?” I’ve been there, and that indecisiveness didn’t just apply to big picture wants. I couldn’t make small decisions throughout the day either! If you’re in this place, you are not alone. In this episode, I’m breaking down the steps to take to gain clarity and start taking action to figure out what lights you up.
Some of the takeaways I explain in this episode are:
- Happiness doesn’t only come from major shifts. Make tiny deposits and take tiny actions. These add up to really big changes over time.
- Invite more play into your life (think: your favorite childhood activities) to open up more possibilities and avenues for joy in your life.
- You must face your feelings head on in order to get clarity. Distracting yourself from your feelings only puts you further away from clarity and fulfillment.

- 004: Ditch the Guilt and Live Your Passion with Jess Copacia
If guilt and anxiety are holding you back from living a life you love… this is the episode for you. In today’s episode I’m sitting down with my friend Jess Copacia, a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner and Empowerment Coach, to talk about her anxiety journey and how she helps women - especially moms! - ditch the guilt they feel in their lives so they can live into their purpose.
You can learn more about Jess and connect with her below!

Some of my favorite “a-ha!” moments from this episode are:
- All the signs from our childhood that we had anxiety, but no language to identify and understand it. And, how to recognize early signs of anxiety in your own children.
- The positive attributes of people who have heightened anxiety - you are big-hearted, you’re a thinker, and you care about others.
- The powerful question Jess asks all of her clients, and what you should ask yourself to enter a more fulfilled phase of your life.
- How important it is to find a coping mechanism for anxiety that works for YOU! Figure out what helps you and stick to that, unapologetically.

- 003: My Anxiety Journey + What I Learned From It
Today’s episode is definitely a vulnerable one. I’m sharing my raw, honest anxiety journey from feeling fearful of leaving my house, to starting this podcast. I’m sharing my key learnings, why anxiety ended up being such a gift, and what I wish someone had told me when I was going through it.
Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, therapist, or any sort of medical professional. I am simply sharing my experience and what I learned from it all.
Some key learnings I share in this episode are:
- If your body is telling you it’s tired, don’t push through that exhaustion. Get good sleep and implement a strong night routine.
- Learn to identify and recognize your true feelings beyond “happy” and “sad.” Check out this emotion wheel to help you: https://www.healthline.com/health/emotion-wheel
- Be more conscious of the content you’re consuming. If you’re filling your head with content that’s mind-numbing (endless hours of Netflix) or fear-based (even five minutes of the news), try replacing that with something that might fuel your growth, like reading or listening to a podcast. (You’re off to a great start if you’re reading this!)

- 002: Prioritizing Your Fulfillment to Rebuild a Better Life with Lauren Lang
When I was wondering which guests I’d like to have on the show, Lauren Lang was at the top of my list for the major decision and life change she made a few years ago. Lauren and I became friends several years ago when we both served on the board of a charity event. Lauren is a wife, a mom, and an entrepreneurial badass whose story shows us that you’re only one decision away from a totally different life. If you are in the process of navigating divorce and wondering what’s on the other side of it, I hope this episode makes you feel hopeful and less alone.
Connect with Lauren on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/lauren_m_lang/
Here are a few key learnings from Lauren:
- The things you are projecting on others are reflecting the things you want for yourself.
- If you lose friends in the transition from your good-on-paper-life to your new, fulfilling life, those people were not your real friends.
- Hold onto sunshine wherever you can find it.

55 min - 001: Introducing The Core Four, My Personal Development Pillars
In this episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast, I’m introducing my four pillars of personal development, which I like to call the Core Four! I’ll be referring to these throughout my podcast episodes, and digging deeper into each pillar in future episodes. The Core Four help me stay grounded, motivated, and healthy - both physically and mentally!
My “Core Four” are:
- Movement - Not necessarily always “exercise,” but moving your body to celebrate and nurture it in your daily routine.
- Mindfulness - Bringing your awareness to what’s happening right before you. If you have racing thoughts, try journaling. It forces you to slow them down long enough enough to capture them!
- Habits - These are routines ingrained in our brains that keep us productive, healthy, and sane during chaotic times!
- Growth - To me, this means constantly learning and developing, and staying curious about the world around you.
