Listen to Part 1 with Lisa Woodruff here.
In this week’s episode, Wendy continues her conversation with Lisa Woodruff in a powerful discussion about transforming how you manage your home and life. If you're exhausted from the constant cycle of cleaning and organizing without feeling in control, this episode is a game-changer. Lisa reveals why traditional goals like keeping up with laundry and dishes are never-ending traps and how to approach them differently. Learn how to become both the CEO and COO of your household by implementing systems like the Sunday Basket, designed to cut down on decision fatigue and help you reclaim your mental energy. Lisa’s proven strategies for decluttering, organizing, and planning will empower you to take charge and live proactively, so you can finally feel at peace in your home.
About Lisa:
Lisa, along with 87% of Americans, believes organization is a learnable skill. Yet less than 18% of those same Americans feel they are organized. Through Organize 365®’s courses, Lisa aims to teach Americans young and old the skill of organizing and unlocking their time for what they are uniquely created to do.
Under Lisa’s direction, Organize 365 has conducted academic research, establishing the definitions of housework, home organization, and the weight of paper in the American home. This ongoing research is making the invisible work at home visible to all. Now in pursuit of her PhD, Lisa is moving our collective experience into the field of academia.
She is the author of four books, including "How ADHD Affects Home Organization" and "The Paper Solution". Lisa’s understanding of the lived female American experience has helped her to articulate why women are overwhelmed, tired, and what to do about it! Through The Sunday Basket®, Lisa helps externalize the routine tasks that take up the executive functioning capacity of our brains; freeing us up to think and create again!

In this powerful episode, Wendy sits down with Lisa Woodruff, the visionary behind Organized 365, to dive deep into how she’s unapologetically saying "yes" to herself—just as much, if not more, than she says yes to her family. Lisa opens up about taking control of her life in her 40s, launching her business, and stepping boldly into her purpose, all while continuing to support her loved ones. She shares how she kept asking herself, “What more do you want, Lisa?”—a question that led her to pursue bigger dreams, like earning her PhD in her 50s, and building her business beyond anyone's expectations. Lisa speaks to the courage it takes to prioritize your own growth in the face of societal pressures and reminds us that women are already running the world—we just need to own it. From shifting household dynamics (like passing cooking duties to her husband) to embracing the fact that we all have more capacity than we think, Lisa’s journey is a masterclass in self-empowerment. Get ready to be inspired, and stay tuned for part two of this transformative conversation next week!

In this inspiring episode, Wendy sits down with adventurer Anna Hergert to explore the transformative power of saying yes to new experiences—whether it’s paddling a kayak in the ocean for the first time or conquering one of Nova Scotia’s most challenging hikes solo. At 67, Anna shares how she has found a renewed sense of purpose and connection in her life, proving that age is no barrier to adventure. From navigating the highest tides in the world in the Bay of Fundy to designing custom, one-of-a-kind tours, Anna reveals the importance of embracing both physical and mental fitness as part of her commitment to herself. She also opens up about the lessons learned from balancing spontaneity with self-care, and how taking a step back before saying yes has helped her avoid burnout. Wendy reflects on her own journey as a guide, sharing how these moments of adventure and self-renewal aren’t just about trying something new—they’re about bringing the full breadth of your life experience into each moment. Join Wendy and Anna for a conversation full of wisdom, daring adventures, and the powerful ripple effects that come from honoring your own journey.
About Anna:
Anna Herbert operates Tide Rollers and Mud Lurkers in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Her custom tour company has a focus on creating memorable experiences for most abilities while exploring the ocean floor in the Bay of Fundy with the highest recorded tides in the world. Before she moved to Nova Scotia nearly four years ago, she spent her time as a landscape photographer, creating textile art, exhibiting her work, and teaching photography, as well as art and design to fiber artists. It took the pandemic and one beach to reignite a passion for adventure and her deep appreciation for nature. Delighted with the discovery of more than one beach, Anna set out exploring on a daily basis. Soon she shared her nature discoveries with newcomers and visitors alike. Her commitment to ensuring a safe outcome with every event led to Outdoor Council of Canada Field Leader Instructor and Advance Wilderness First Aid certifications. “Safety first” is a motto she observes with her tour groups and for herself. Backpacking trips during the shoulder seasons are her guilty pleasure. When she is not hiking, guiding tours, sharing her knowledge about the highest tides in the world, or snowshoeing, Anna can be found at home playing with fabric or yarn, or cuddling her four Shitzus.

Have you ever found yourself following someone else’s rules, only to realize it just doesn’t feel right? In this episode, Wendy and her guest, Sylvie Mazarolle, dive deep into the journey of saying yes to yourself and embracing authenticity in both life and work. Sylvie shares her personal story of reclaiming her creative vision after a course left her feeling disconnected from her passion. By tweaking her approach to align with what truly excites her, she’s rediscovered her love for capturing the beauty of life in all its forms—people, places, and adventures—and the magic started flowing again as soon as she did. Wendy reflects on the lessons she learned from working with her coach, Gina DeVee, emphasizing the importance of trusting your own values instead of outsourcing your power. Together, they discuss the magic that happens when you release control, stay open to the unexpected, and rediscover what makes you feel truly alive. No matter what phase of life you’re navigating, this episode is a powerful reminder to say yes to what feels right for you and to live a life that makes you feel truly alive. Tune in and say yes to the life that’s waiting for you!
About Sylvie:
Sylvie is a professional photographer with over 15 years experience as a visual artist. Eight of those years were spent as a professional makeup artist in Toronto’s film and fashion industry. Now based in Dieppe New-Brunswick Canada, you can find her behind the lens creating beautiful images for others to enjoy. In her photography, she focuses on using natural light as much as possible and trusting in not just what she sees, but how she sees it. She uses both her past experience in color theory and storytelling as well as her intuition. The results are rich, elegant images that evoke emotions. In addition to traveling, portraits, and food photography, she mentors others on how to unlock their own creativity. “ Photographs are the only thing capable of freezing the passing of time in today's fast-paced world. It’s a way to slow down and be present. When I am photographing just for me, it’s a form of self care and art therapy. It can be very meditative. There is beauty everywhere. Slow down and take a moment to appreciate it, taste it, and get to know it. Enjoy a Slice Of Life.”

In this heartfelt episode, Wendy sits down with Cleo Childs, the inspiring artist behind the spoken word poetry album "Moving With," which chronicles her journey through grief after losing her mother to Alzheimer's at the age of 28. Cleo shares how saying "yes" to life's unfolding moments with integrity and joy has led to unexpected blessings and creative breakthroughs. Wendy and Cleo discuss the power of living in alignment with one's values and the transformative impact of kindness and integrity. Cleo opens up about her writing journey, the influence of her mother and grandmother, and the profound healing she found through poetry and songwriting. As they explore themes of grief, acceptance, and artistic expression, Wendy encourages Cleo to embrace her identity as an artist with certainty and clarity, knowing that her work brings healing and positive impact. This episode is a beautiful tribute to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of creativity to navigate life's most challenging moments.
About Cleo:
Cleo Childs released her spoken word poetry album "Moving With" on May 15th. This album is the culmination of two and a half years of writing about the journey of grief she experienced after losing her mom to Alzheimer's when she was 28 years old. Her mother was an English major in college and her grandmother, who is also one of her editors, was an English teacher for 30 years so she came by her grief processing tool of writing poetry naturally. With this spoken word poetry album, she hopes to show the path her grief took from having her mother, losing her mother, and the peace and acceptance she feels now. She also hopes to give an authentic and honest look at what her grief felt like so other people going through grief don't feel alone and feel community in their grief. For speaking engagements, workshops, and group sessions, she is available and invites further exploration of her and her project on her website.Connect with Cleo:
