Dalys specializes in closet organization (and all other spaces in the home) and she has great tips for how to be more purposeful – specifically with your clothing and styling. Her tips and tricks will help you really examine your closet in a new way!

Dalys is the Queen of the castle to her husband of 25 years and 2 young adult sons. Air Force Veteran, Breast Cancer Survivor, IT Project Manager and Creator @blackgirlswhoorganize are all part of her resume.
Blessed with creative parents who encouraged artistic freedom at home, planted a gift that developed in a way that Dalys now knows is not natural to many. It was the beginning of her love for stylish clothing and beautiful spaces. After 25+ years organizing for friends and family, she finally leaped and launched D’Vine Order in 2018.
Dalys is passionate about order and simplification. She helps busy professionals, especially women, live with only those things that matters most.

Monica Leed and I chat in this episode (a re-release because it was SO good).
Monica has a design background in the fast-paced film industry. She spent over ten years cultivating curiosity in the art of efficient space design, time management, and the power of organizational systems. Then in 2011, life threw her an unexpected curveball that reminded her that a demanding career without a balanced home life will leave you feeling stuck and uninspired.
I loved hearing more of her story, how she discovered how to bring her life into a better balance, and why she wrote her book Simply Spaced. Monica is the CEO and Owner of her brand and company Simply Spaced.
Thank you for listening and subscribing, I hope you were inspired by Monica’s story today. For all the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

The only way to get organized and stay organized is to commit to the reset! What's a reset? It's when you take the extra minute(s) to put things back and keep things in place. It is critical to practice resetting. When you get home from shopping allow time to reset. When you move from room to room, put things away where they go. A system will only stay maintained if it its maintained (see what I did there?). For all the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

Sarah Bragg (Podcaster, Author, Communicator) hops on the podcast today to chat all about her new book, Is Everyone Happier Than Me? Sarah is an amazing communicator! She encourages you to sit where you are and ask yourself the tough questions. I SO appreciate her authenticity and curiosity.
If you pre-order or order her book (releasing March 19th, 2024) you’ll also get access to a series of podcast episodes where she talks about perfectionism. (Head over HERE to claim your free gift if you order her new book.) You’ll love learning from Sarah and I encourage you to also tune in to her podcasts Surviving Sarah and also be sure to check out her great free organizing resources.
In an age where everyone else’s successes are flaunted in front of you on social media, it can be a struggle to feel true happiness and contentment exactly where you are. Throw in difficult circumstances—loss, heartbreak, change, midlife—and it’s easy to understand why you feel lonely, lost, unsure of yourself, stuck, and, if you’re honest with yourself, flat-out unhappy. Is Everyone Happier Than Me? provides practical and relatable answers to the questions you’ve probably already been asking about your life, and poses a few more, to help you figure out what’s standing in the way of your happiness, peace, and connection.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month which seems like the perfect time to share with you our cancer journey. My husband, David was diagnosed in July of 2021 and thankfully just passed his two year mark of his “wait and watch” program. We shared more about his story on these episodes – Episode #11, Episode #12.
If you have any history of cancer in your family PLEASE talk to your primary care physician and discuss which cancer screenings you should schedule. Early detection is key!
As I shared in this episode the NEW screening age for colon cancer (a colonoscopy) is 45. Please send any questions my way and/or if you have your own cancer journey story, I’d love to hear. Cheers to good health!

In today’s episode I share all about what I learned and re-learned in 2023. And how my takeaways from last year have helped me to better redefine what I value and prioritize.
From my reflections and experiences I came up with the principle – Have What You Value & Value What You Have. Isn’t that what it should be all about? But don’t we often value too many different things? Or put our attention and energies towards things that aren’t truly what we cherish and/or value?
I encourage you to do some soul work on this. Ask yourself if your calendar, commitments, and choices truly reflect your highest and most important values? And...if the answer isn’t a resounding YES – make some changes. I did and I know you can too – if you need to. Life is a gift. We need to use our time intentionally and purposefully.
Stay tuned for the next two-part series where I unpack out to organize with your unorganized partner. For all of the show notes + links click below on the "episode webpage."

Getting on my soap box here to tell you what I don't want you doing! I want you to stop being hard on yourself. No more negative self talk. Don't fall into the trap of feeling guilty and ashamed of how and where you are not measuring up. YOU get to decide what your priorities are and what you will or will not prioritize. And I know, this is not necessarily easy to do, but it can be VERY empowering. Take today and the next day and the day after that to focus on what you want to do and what's most important to you (and then let the other stuff go!). This could be stuff stuff or actual commitments or just things you feel obligated to do, but don't really need to be doing. Take back your time and your health and your well being by being razor focused about what you will and will not do. And of course, feel free to delegate, outsource, say no - you get the idea! Thank you for tuning into this seasonal release of the podcast. Please subscribe, review the show, and let me know what else you'd love to hear about. Cheering you on!!!
