Ever wonder why those old snapshots evoke such strong emotions, or why decluttering your digital albums can feel so therapeutic? We're exploring the psychology behind our attachment to photos and how organizing them can help you preserve memories, reduce stress, and reclaim your space. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Rachel Arbuckle, Founder of 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, and she shares insightful tips and tricks for turning your photo chaos into a curated collection.
In 2014, a series of fierce fires roared through San Diego County, the largest of which started on the mountain just behind Rachel’s home. She had only minutes to grab a few items. Her instinct was to gather all of her photos, but she panicked when she realized her precious memories were all over her home in boxes, picture frames, and albums. Rachel grabbed what she could and her family headed to safety.
After many days of worry, they were able to return home to the memories they had to leave behind. Thankfully, their home was spared, but others in the community were not as fortunate. This experience not only solidified Rachel’s commitment to protect her family’s collection of photos but prompted her to create 2000 Paces Photo Organizing, encouraging people to organize and protect their important memories.

Whether you're a first-time parent or a seasoned pro, there's something magical about creating a space that's not just organized but filled with love, warmth, and the sweet anticipation of a new baby. In this episode, Naeemah chats with Cyrstal Johnson, Owner and Founder of Nesting Godmother, where she offers tips on how to prepare your home for a new baby. So, whether you're folding tiny onesies, browsing nursery themes, or childproofing every corner of your home, this episode is your guide to a stress-free and joy-filled nesting experience.
Crystal Johnson credits her affinity for professional organizing to her success in the business of motherhood. A wife and mother of three, she honed her unique skill set in home organization through the management of her own day-to-day family life. What began as a means of finding some calm to her own chaos, she found organizing to be something she enjoyed doing for friends and family, as well.
While navigating motherhood, Crystal recognized that with every child came a new set of rules, new needs for her family, and of course, more of everything else in between. She soon realized that nesting, commonly known to occur when mothers are preparing for a new baby, is a consistent practice that evolves as parents move from nest to rest. Hence, the Nesting Godmother was born.
Nesting Godmother is a specialty home organizing service curated with the unique needs of parents and families in mind. Knowing firsthand the challenges that parents face, Crystal created signature systems that solve the modern-day family’s home organization worries. Nesting Godmother’s services are here to provide parents with simple and effective home organizing solutions to welcome, nurture, and release their little ones beyond the nest.To learn more about Crystal and Nesting Godmother, visit her website https://www.nestinggodmother.com

As Black History Month comes to a close, Organize Me! Radio is taking the time to recognize trailblazers and disruptors in the organizing industry. The six founders of the National Association of Black Professional Organizers (NABPO) saw a need and created a safe space for BIPOC professional organizers. In this episode, Naeemah chats with her fellow Founders as they discuss why it's so important for groups like NABPO to take up space in the organizing industry.
NABPO’s mission is to empower and educate existing and start-up minority and women-owned businesses and other disadvantaged entrepreneurs by providing the appropriate resources and referrals to meet their business needs.
In 2015, Naeemah Ford Goldson created a Facebook group for women of color who were either in the professional organizing industry or thinking about becoming professional organizers. She created the group because women of color in the industry were drastically underrepresented, and lacked the support and resources for starting their businesses.
Having joined several other professional organizer groups previously, Naeemah never felt welcomed in any of those groups. She noticed her questions were being met with snarky responses, or not being answered at all. She then started to observe the different groups and noticed the same trend for other women of color. She reached out to some of those women and asked if they would like to join her group, and kept it exclusive to women of color.
Fast forward to 2017, Naeemah gathered a group of organizers from her Facebook group for brunch, they loved their connection so much, they decided to meet up again to brainstorm ideas on how they could collaborate. Several months later, NABPO was born. The six Founders are Naeemah Ford Goldson, Dina R. Smith, Tiffany Blassingame, Carolyn Rogers, Shaheedah Hill, and Naomi Kyalo.
NABPO is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and has members all across the country. It’s the only association that provides a listing of minority professional organizers, productivity experts, and coaches for potential clients to interact with.
